While she was voted "Prom Queen" and "Most Likable" by her pals in Washington, our Congressperson Nan Hayworth didn't do so well on the NY19CDC 1st Year Report Card (surprised?). But she did win another award!

I'll let Nan Hayworth's Facebook entry concerning hurricane relief speak for itself:

"We all know the facts: Hurricane Irene, and other severe-weather events in the South and Midwest, have made it necessary to provide urgent funds that will ultimately reach several billion dollars, possibly 10 billion dollars or more, in the midst of the most massive deficit spending in our country’s peacetime history."

Peacetime? Really? If you want to look into "peacetime history," until the Iraq War II, we have never cut taxes during a time of war. THAT'S the violation or our history, Congresswoman.

Yesterday, a group of us talked with voters in the local Election District in Bedford, where Nan Hayworth lives and votes. What we heard from her neighbors was that they were overwhelmingly opposed to her repeated - three times! - votes against Medicare and her consistent voting record against the interests of the middle class and the general health of our economy.  Her neighbors are outraged that, as she was selling out the ordinary residents of her district, she was just as consistently voting to protect tax breaks for millionaires and taxpayer subsidies for Big Oil and Gas.

Dear Ms Hayworth:

First let me state that the idea of holding the country hostage while dealing with the deficit is outrageous and childish and unbecoming for members of the House of Representatives.  I feel certain that at some level you must understand that it was Republican policies which caused the huge deficit, which caused the Great Recession, and now have caused our country to come perilously close to complete collapse.  You must understand that it is the political shenanigans pursued by you and your party which have brought us to the brink.
