SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS WISCONSIN???

WASHINGTON DC, 4/27:

The following statement was issued by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee.

"The Rules Committee discovered yesterday that the Judiciary Committee Report on this very bill, which was authored by the Majority Staff, contained amendment summaries which had been re-written by committee staff for the sole purpose of distorting the original intent of the authors.

"This Committee Report took liberty to mischaracterize and even falsify the intent of several amendments offered in Committee by Democratic Members of this body.

"At least five amendments to this bill, which were designed to protect the rights of family members and innocent bystanders from prosecution under this bill, were rewritten as amendments designed to protect sexual predators from prosecution and were then included in the committee report as if that was the original intent of the authors. The thing is, sexual predators were not mentioned anywhere in any of these amendments.

"These amendments were no more about sexual predators then they were about terrorists or arsonists or any other criminal class in our society. These amendments were about the rights of grandmothers and siblings and clergy and innocent bystanders. I asked the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee about this deception yesterday afternoon at the Rules Committee hearing.

"And instead of decrying what I certainly expected would be revealed as a mistake by an overzealous staffer...The Chairman stood by those altered
amendment descriptions.

"He made very clear to the Rules Committee that the alterations to these members' amendments were deliberate.

"When pressed as to why his committee staff took such an unprecedented action, the Chairman immediately offered up his own anger over the manner in which Democrats had chosen to debate and oppose this unfortunate piece of legislation we have before us today.

"In fact...He said, and I quote..."You don't like what we wrote about your amendments, and we don't like what you said about our bill."

1. What is the story with this jerk?

What is his problem? He used to be ethical. Why are Wisconsin's citizens sending someone like this to represent them?

Present company excepted.

4. Senselessbrenner doesn't even

give a form answer to my Emails anymore..... and I am in his district AND we met once at a social function (of which I remind him in my messages).

I used to think he was ultra conservative, but basically principled - but he flipped over to the psycho side completely during the Schiavo mess.

5. More like during the attempted Republicon Coup of '98.

He WAS one of the Coup Managers, you know.

6. Sensenbrenner has basically jumped the shark

That honestly surprises me. He used to be plenty ethical and easy to communicate with.

He needs to go, but lord knows how we're supposed to get rid of him. He reps my district and this place is never going to go Democrat while there is a Republican incumbant.

7. I am afraid that district will go republican -

until they re-draw congressional districts again.

Hey, at least now, my parents are in Tammy's district. :)

8. Hey!! Not if I can help it!

I don't have to worry about electing Gwen Moore to my CD this time around - she's in a safe seat now. So I can head west and pitch in with Bryan Kennedy's campaign to claim the 5th CD seat for Democrats. You're coming down to help too, arentcha??
