I haven’t been to one of petey’s town halls in awhile, does he still stand up front and lecture you for 55 minutes, take a question and give a long rambling reply so he doesn’t have time to take anymore questions?

he treats you like your a school kid instead of his boss

Hello everybody! I attended the Town Hall Meeting in San Lorenzo to ask Congressman Stark to support H.R.1207 (The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009). I heard about the issue regarding his residency, in relation to his tax-break, and I thought that this would be a main topic of discussion during the meeting, however, this was not the case. In fact, the question was not even brought up once.

David said “He says he lives “two thirds” of the year in Maryland. The real question is … whether he’s eligible to be a Congressman from California.”

Doesn’t being a representative require that you spend a good chunk of your time in DC? I don’t think they can vote remotely from their home district. For better or worse, telecommuting isn’t an option for congressmembers.

Excellent article on the A’s by Dave Newhouse. The article nails uncle Lew and his real intentions and gives a brief history of his stategy.

Marty can be pretty entertaining – thanks for the balance

I find Annie’s comments indeed curious. How those who (seemingly) profess a fervent theological comittment simultaneously deny their own confidence in that belief.

Their willingness to express a personalized and earth-bound judgement of another reveals a lack of confidence in the eventual judgment by the Father. If you TRULY believed – wouldn’t you take pity on another?

I’ll light a candle for you tonight Annie.

I miss Pete Stark’s survey mailers that he requested be returned to his town hall meetings. They’d read something like:

Q-What is the most important issue affecting your family?

(a)The economy
(b)Air and water quality
(c)Transportation
(d)George Bush is a fascist

He was a finance guy before congress and is a senior member and chairman in the ways and means. There’s no excuse for him not understanding his tax liability.

Though, Annie. I don’t think his inevitable damnation at the behest of the smoldering hellfire that awaits him for denying our Lord and savior has anything to do with it.

What is left out of this article is far more important than what’s in it. According to Bloomberg news, Stark is registered to vote at his wife’s parent’s house. He claims only to rent an apartment to stay in when he is back in the Bay Area. He says he lives “two thirds” of the year in Maryland. The real question is not whether he’s eligible for the tax break but whether he’s eligible to be a Congressman from California.
