Postal Patron Mailing

How many of you received the postal patron mailing from Dave Obey? Obey invites us to discuss Medicare Part D next week.

First of all, why has Dave Obey waited to have a set of formal discussions with his constituents on the new prescription drug plan over two weeks after the deadline passed to sign up? Shouldn't he have been helping seniors sign up for it before the deadline.

Here's why. It's Obey's M.O. He wants to spend most of the meetings blasting Republicans. The more seniors now facing a penalty for failing to sign up, the more seniors he can rile up with his rhetoric. It's a sad lack of representation for purely partisan political gain, but it's what we've come to expect after 37 years.

We challenge each of you to go to the meeting and ask Obey where he was hiding before the Medicare prescription drug sign up deadline!! We bet you'll be thrown out, but get your name in the paper. Get reporters to talk to you and tell them why you don't support Dave Obey.
