All of our shaming of Virginia Foxx for being afraid to face the people in an open setting has finally paid off: The representative is holding a "Health Care Solutions Town Hall" in Statesville tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m. (Statesville Civic Center, Room B, 300 South Center Street).
11:30 a.m.?
Doesn't seem like a time that might optimize attendance by working people. Just sayin'.
It's also physically about as far away from Watauga County as you can get in the 5th District, but the roads are paved from here to there, so distance can be overcome.
What probably can't be overcome is the Madam's inability to actually hear any opinions that differ materially from her own. So we'll see.
Dang, I wish I could go!
ReplyDeleteGo get her, Jerry! ;)
ReplyDeleteBridle: You going to the Cullie Tarleton fundraiser?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the Foxx will have wheelchair races by herself at the Health Fair?
ReplyDeleteWhere and when is it?
ReplyDeleteDo not hand me this crap. Why don't you pick on someone else (i.e. Nancy Pelosi). I supposed you think Ms Pelosi is great. You talk about listening. Well I say listen up Ms. Pelosi and the President. Start listening to people.
ReplyDeleteTake a look if you are on facebook. Friends of Boone Pride (local gay-lesbian organization) and you will see Loretta Clawson is a friend of Boone Pride.
Start picking on people where the picking needs to be done.
I think Mrs Pelosi has been listening to the hundreds of thousands of us who keep asking her to get us a decent health care bill. All of us (including the millions who celebrated Obama's inauguration) who support a progressive agenda are glad she is fighting so hard for us.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's wrong with gay pride?
The Gay Pride organization promotes homosexuality which in my opinion is wrong and if you read your Bible who will see that is not natural.
ReplyDeletePelosi is not listening. She is thinking of herself. Stop and look at this healthcare bill, it is a piece of crap. She wants to control people.
How do you get on this facebook to see where our Mayor is supporting the gay community?

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion discrimination and hatefulness is wrong, and you don't need to read anything to know it. How does homosexuality hurt anyone or anything?
ReplyDeleteAgain, Pelosi <span>is </span>listening to people. People such as myself. The only reason I don't like the health care bill is because it doesn't go far enough. But it's way better than the alternative the Republicans are offering (die now, pay later).
It is going on my calendar now.
ReplyDeleteIf Ms. Clawson supports Boone Pride I say, "GOOD for her!" Read YOUR bible: Jesus welcomed ALL his sheep. I imagine that included gay people.
ReplyDeleteOooooh........ the gays! They're going to destroy us all! Better hide under the bed! Sheesh. We need a new version of Godwin's Law - the first person to bring up "The Gay" loses the argument!
ReplyDeletejrBoone-your mind and ignorant beliefs are like the broken brick on the bottom of the falling wall

ReplyDeleteJr,
If you go to a Boone Pride event, and the guys start hitting on you, it's not because they are promoting homosexuality... only recognizing it. ;)
Moose,
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen you on here for a while. Welcome back!
It's not my Bible Jr. it's yours. My Bible says that homosexuals aren't hurting anyone and to leave them alone!
ReplyDeleteJr.( Ignorant) Boone to Mike D: OUCH! :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. I lurk around from time to time! 8-)
