My "representative" and food stamps

I just spoke with two staffers at Cory Gardner's DC office; he represents Colorado's 4th District, heavily impacted by the recent floods.

I pointed out that thousands of residents of CD-4 have found themselves suddenly and unexpectedly dependant on programs like food stamps. I asked, "In today's vote on the Republican bill to make massive cuts from the food stamp program will the congressman stand with his constituents or will he vote for the bill?"

Neither staffer would answer the question.

as he is useful for absolutely nothing and should not be earning $172,000 a year.

Time for him to find a job elsewhere.
