That Damned Party

Mr. Pitts:
I got a letter from you this week claiming the $8 Trillion deficit compels you to vote in favor of trimming the budget of some monies typically going to PBS. Now I see your colleagues don't care about such concerns, planning to dedicate about ten times that much to Sugarland, TX and a few companies in a position to affect and benefit from the rising price of energy. All this slipped in with the so-called Energy Bill.

I know you owe Mr. DeLay a lot of consideration, since he gave you $90,000, but your integrity is at stake. Your party's fiscal responsibility is at stake. Your job is on the line here.

Fix it. Get that non-voted amendment out of the so-called Energy Bill.

I'm appalled to read that Tom DeLay inserted a $1.5 billion giveaway to oil companies like Halliburton and Marathon Oil after the energy bill was negotiated between the House and Senate. I urge you to do everything you can to see that this provision is removed from the bill.

Joe, I love this series!! Keep the pressure up on this "the Pitts" fellow. Dump him in his pit. Bumper sticker: "Pitts is the Pits"

Keep those cards and letters coming!!

I guess he's the sap your district somehow voted into office...who's challenging for 2006? Copy him/her on those letters, I'm sure they could use some more ammo. If the challenger's staff isn't finding this stuff then they need some help!!

There are no mid-term elections for national seats in PA this year.

He's got Pro-Life money, Wal-Mart money, Comcast money, Excelon money. No Teachers organizations, but he did get a piece of the Merchant Marine contributions to the GOP.
