Angry Constituents Heat Up Democratic Townhalls Over Healthcare Reform

Politics

Just check out the anger that is brewing over at townhalls: Of course my headline is totally misleading.

Why Health Care Reform Must Be Defeated

Science

Here is the reason we shouldn’t let health care reform become law: Leading a revolt against President Barack Obama’s healthcare legislation over abortion has been a “living hell” for Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.). The telephone lines in his Washington and district offices have been “jammed” and he’s gotten more than 1,500 faxes and countless e-mails […]

Another Example Of All Politics No Longer Being Local

Misc

Again from NY-23: We crunched the FEC contribution numbers this afternoon to discover that 95 percent of Hoffman’s donations came from individuals and PACs based outside of the district. (Hoffman himself doesn’t even live in NY-23.) Only $12,360 of the $265,341 he’s raised came from potential constituents. Hoffman collected money from donors in 35 states. […]
