Giffords voted to exempt members of Congress from paying back their college student loans, but voted against giving active duty military persons an interest break on their student loans. This, from a Congresswomen who says she is doing all she can for her military constituents. (Roll Call 612, July 11, 2007 and Roll Call 31, January 17, 2007).
“If you remember, in the 2006 election Gabby always had a surrogate speak for her when debating her Republican rival.
She will not be able to play that game with Tim Bee or his Campaign Manager Meg Econ. I predict you will not see Gabby debate Tim Bee because of her poor performance record in these types of encounters. ”
You must be kidding! Gabby not only did very well in personal debates against her “Republican rival”, she destroyed him. Her record is solid in supporting her district. She has represented us well, communicated well, and will be supported well by her district.
Our elected representative continue to protect their interests, but no one else. Our military should be the top priority but the President and even the Senate and Congress continues to put them on bottom. The only help they get is when a new agency get information on their housing, health care, etc. Congress is not taking a leading effort for helping any US citizen. Pelosi and Reid should be kicked out of their positions. They are too old and firm in their thoughts, just like John McCain. Gifford needs to take more of a leadership approach NOW. WE need off shore drilling approved by congress NOW. Quit the games in the house and senate. I wish the average American would get the same breaks we give corporate leaders. For the fall election, we need to vote in new, young representatives, not those that fall in behind the old representatives. WE DO NEED CHANGE. We in American are demanding it. We elect the representatives and they should be listening to us and following our suggestions.
