Alabama Congress Critter Elect Watch

Well it's a good thing Orange Cry Baby Bohner doesn't hold a gudge, AL05 Congress Critter elect Mo Brooks was appointed to the House Armed Services, Science and Technolgy Committes, but will he be able to bring home the bacon in light of his no pork (earmarks) pledge? Oh wait, he unsigned the no earmarks pledge after he signed the no earmarks pledge. I wonder if Mo is going to refuse to accept his Obma Care while he's trying to repeal Obama care for the rest of us?

Psst Mo! Tell President Obama, Senator Harry Reid and Representative Nancy Pelosi I said please don't hold it against the residents of the 5th district because you are the rep. We need our big government spending and contracts here in the Tennessee Valley.

From the nobody listens to me file

Has anyone noticed but me that republicans are bipartisan when it's benefits them? Bipartisianship to republifcans means you join us, we don't join you.

Mo, Dale, Teabaggers, how about joining with Democrats/liberals fighting for health care reform, or the Jobs bill, or bringing our troops home from Iraq? Bipartisanship is two way, not one way.

Words of caution and advice to my progressive/democratic friends. Make sure you identify yourselves as such so that you won't be lumped in with the Teabaggers. They are NOT your friend(s). Don't let yourself be used to enable the right wing/conservative agenda.

Meanwhile, AL07 Congress Critter Elect Terri Sewell is Just about Ready to move into her prime office space on The Hill.

I haven’t decided the locations of all the district offices,” she said. “We will keep the ones at the courthouse in Selma and in Livingston at the University of West Alabama, but in Birmingham, I haven’t decided on a location.”’

She fared well in the lottery among freshmen members of Congress for the vacated offices at the Capitol. “I got a good lottery number,” Sewell said, “No. 5 out of 85. It’s a great location, 1133 Longworth — on the first floor and the first office. That’s great accessibility.”

She also elected the Regional Whip

The day before, Sewell had been in Washington at a regional meeting of Democrats, where she was elected the regional whip for Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Being the whip for the region means she’ll check on votes and ensure the Democratic delegates from this particular region in the United States have the facts about the policy, legislation or track they are taking as a group, she said.

Wow, that ought to really help the residents of the 7th district with jobs and economic development.

Psst Terri! What Congresswoman Maxine Waters said;

“This should help her be an effective representative, and I expect her to work hard on behalf of the constituents who have shown much confidence in her,” Waters said. “I look forward to working with her within the House of Representatives as a whole and in the Congressional Black Caucus on issues of importance to all Americans, where they live in Alabama or California: job creation and economic development, education and training, quality health care and more.”

Redeye Watch over and out...for now.
