TPM Reader JB checks in …
Barney Frank is my congressman (since I moved in August). I registered my extreme displeasure and told the staff that we didn’t send him to congress to ensure his re-election, we sent him there to get the job done. I then told them that as a life-long democrat, if he didn’t vigorously support health care reform, I would support any primary challenger and, if Frank won again, any opponent because I would at least believe that his opponent would do what he promised and not chicken out. The pleasant woman answering the phone told me to expect a call back. I will let you know if that happens.
TPM Reader KF follows up …
In response to the recent post about reader JB’s call to Barney Frank’s office – I think all Democrats should do this with their congressmen/women. I sent an email to my congressman this morning letting him know I expect the Democrats to lead and pass HCR. If they don’t it will be a blood bath in November. I will not support a Democrat that does not fall in behind the President on this and other issues.
