Was reading the PoliticsWest section of the Denver Post online today and something shocking was posted. Reporter Ross Putin posted an e-mail he received about Colorado Rep. Ed Perlmutter of the Brighton, CO area. Apparently, after numerous calls from media asking the Congressman and his office staff when he would be scheduling a town hall or public meeting to discuss issues during the August recess, no phone call was returned.
HOWEVER, an e-mail cropped up out of nowhere from President Obama's ongoing campaign, entitled "Organizing for America," where an out-of-nowhere "public meeting" had been scheduled at the King Soopers on 500 E. Bromley Lane in Brighton. The scheduled meeting was from 1-2 p.m., and the e-mail had been distributed not more than HOURS before the event! And more than that, the e-mail only went out to the "Organizing for America" distro list, versus the Congressman's office sending the information on the public meeting out to local media for them to report on it!!!!!!
This Congressman is scared to bring his plan for voting on healthcare to his constituents! His voters know the truth about nationalized health care, and he is too afraid to face them one-on-one. Is this the kind of "change we can believe in …scared politicians running from the very people THEY WORK FOR? What the hell kind of country is this when guys like Ed Perlmutter get away from "running away" from their constituents? Are there no representatives with backbone?
Here's the blog on the information. GOOD GRIEF... throw Perlmutter out!! This is the kind of representative we DON'T need in Washington? Perlmutter should schedule a public town hall meeting NOW, instead of using the cloak of darkness and Obama's ongoing campaign to get the word out? WHERE IS THE REPRESENTATION PERLMUTTER? You say you represent... PROVE IT TO ADAMS COUNTY!
I love Ed Perlmutter -- he works for the people, unlike the republicans, who are fighting to protect big profits for the private insurance industry!
ReplyDeleteAnother typical left wing comment from a brainwashed- and brain dead- liberal Democrat Communist. This is not a problem caused by the Republicans or the Dumbocrats, it is one caused by entitlement, greed and self-serving government employees like Bennett and Perlmutter who forgot who their bosses really are.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how the Obamacare works when your family gets AIDS or Cancer and a minimum wage government worker decides they don't need treatment, or that they can wait 10-12 months before they get to see a doctor of the government's choosing.
When will you unemployed uneducated welfare promoters wake up and realize that you had the wool pulled over your eyes and bought an empty suit mouthpiece Fascist that has in every fiber of his being a desire to destroy this great nation?
