Look Who Is In The House Now

Well, looks like we now have “Whacko” Sunstein in the House. After Senators Lieberman and Klobuchar (Minnesota) went on about Sunstein his intellect and his ability as a visionary, the vote passed to invoke cloture on Sunsteins nomination. He now leads the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. I knew that there were crazy people in this world but do they all hold government offices? Seriously?

A big Texas-sized “Thank you” to Senators Cornyn and Hutchison for upholding the wishes of those that you represent. As for Lugar, Snowe, Collins, Voinovich, Bennet and Hatch….you can start packing now.

Okay, you know what to do….call, write, fax and email your representatives. Let them know that we mean business. It’s their jobs at stake in 2010 but more importantly, it’s the American way of life at stake.
