I got an email from Issa today in which he said he’s voting against the (credit market stabilization) bill.
This prevents any constituent from providing input to this historic piece of legislation; we are ignored.
There are things that need to be in that bill. Aid to the little banks, aid to the almost foreclosed, and unemployment benefits for those who are currently or will be marooned in unemployment for the foreseeable future because on the fiscal trainwreck.
These times are closley reminiscent to those of 1932. FDR came in after 12 years of Republican benign neglect and corruption and had to pull us out of the Great Depression. The Republicans fought him every inch of the way, called him a socialist, and other names. This included Social Security, the RFC (rescued banks), the WPA, CCC, soiul conservation REA, etc, etc. Their grandchildren are now following in grandpa’s footsteps and fighting economic reform. Must be a chromosomal thing!
Issa NOT!

In a letter signed by the President, the Secretary-Treasurer, and the Executive Director, the Alliance for Retired American s writes “Your positions demonstrate a strong commitment to improve the quality of life for older Americans. Your leadership on issues such as fighting Social Security privatization and strengthening the the Social Security and Medicare systems exhibits that commitment. In addition, our members can support your candidacy because of your belief in the need to provide affordable health care for older Americans, to create a Medicare drug program that benefits seniors, not insurance and drug companies, as well as the need for stronger retirement and pension security, and quality long term and nursing home care.” “The Alliance for Retired Americans believes that your election to the House of Representatives will enhance the quality of life for Older Americans” it adds.
