Another one bites the Dust. NOV, Remember.

[SNAFU]

That is what I thought. Just replied to his spam email,,
"You will be voted out of office"

[sniper7]

they don't care any more it seems like...as long as they get their agendas shoved down our throats during their terms they could care less about re-election.
time for a .gov overhaul....we have had a bank, auto industry, health care overhauls, so now the entire .gov needs to be cleaned out and run BY THE PEOPLE

The son of a Newyork Art Dealer who has lived in Colorado for less than 10 years. Did nothing to help the Denver Public schools and was not voted in to office. Thanks Tax Ritter. This is who is supposed to represent us in washington.[Rant1]


He voted for it.

See what Bennet thinks of his constituents here:

King asked him, "If you get to the final point and you are a critical vote for health care reform, and every piece of evidence tells you, if you support that bill, you will lose your job, would you cast the vote and lose your job?"
Bennet replied simply, "Yes."


He was actually a party to this crap:
"These Senators showed bold leadership with this letter calling on Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass the public option through reconciliation."

"The overwhelming majority of Americans want a public option. The latest New York Times poll on this issue, in December, shows that despite the attacks of recent months Americans support the public option 59% to 29%. Support includes 80% of Democrats, 59% of Independents, and even 33% of Republicans."

It will make you SICK.

Let's help him out by making him the shortest serving senator in Colorado history.

Bennett a piece of $hit. I have no doubt that when TAO came out to speak on his behalf he was offered him a position in the Admin if he looses the election. All he had to do was send a letter to Dingy Harry and ask him to use the reconciliation on HC if needed.

We MUST vote these socialist out of office.

He voted yes and stated he doesn't care if it causes him to loose his job.

He tends to vote opposite the way most Coloradoans want him to vote - which is very different from the way he is portraying himself in his self-promoting commercials these days.

Let's help him out by making him the shortest serving senator in Colorado history.

It would certainly be my pleasure to help him achieve that goal!

I have been politically motivated...
But now I am politically involved...
I'm their WORST NIGHTMARE!

I like to send succinct emails to them.

"Get well soon!"

"Enjoy your retirement in November!"

If only there were some sort of punishment implemented on former congressman who fucked their voters....

let me premise everything by saying i am very against the health care bill, i am in the health care field and my job could be hugely affected by it.

but anyway, im new to colorado and know nothing of this senator, but i was wondering what people thought theyd do if they were senator. would you try, try, try to get the pulse of the people and do whatever they wanted you to even if you didn't agree with it, or if you felt you knew what the best thing to do was and the people just didn't understand, youd vote how you feel you should? i go with the first option, as i feel that you are there to represent the people no matter what, even if you think the people are crazy. you are a servant to the people, nothing more. however, i will admit it is a complicated question. im sure very few senators even think about it, most are just looking how to get more money, more power, and stick around longer, but i thought it was interesting to think about. i will say that even though i don't agree with his decision, i do kinda like that he isn't voting simply to be re-elected. thats one thing that pisses me off about career politicians. however, that can sometimes mean you are voting without concern for what the people want. that i don't agree with at all.

anyways, just food for thought

The Constitution specifies in Article VI, clause 3:

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."For other officials, including members of Congress, it specifies they "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this constitution." At the start of each new U.S. Congress, in January of every odd-numbered year, those newly elected or re-elected Congressmen - the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate - must recite an oath:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.


If I were to take this oath, I would examine all legislation with these thoughts foremost in my mind:

Is this legislation permissible and in accordance with the document I have sworn to uphold?
How does this legislation promote the cause of liberty and freedom?
How does this legislation affect the budgetary 'bottom line'?
How does this legislation effect those who have placed me in their service?

It is my opinion that the health care act would fail to meet any of this criteria.

Bennett is the perfect example of what happens when politicians are selected and not elected (not that Salazar would have voted any different...nor does he have any better attitude about us serfs)
