MINNICK: Where are you?

| March 22, 2010 1:43 PM

I have been a small business owner in North Idaho for many years, and as such am mystified and horrified by what is being passed off as a “Health Care” bill by our President and Democrat Congress.  Over the past 3 weeks I have written several e-mails to our lone Democrat Representative in Congress, Mr. Walt Minnick.  I have expressed my concerns and deep reservations of what has been passed by the House and the Senate, and asked him to respond as to what his beliefs are, and how he plans to now vote with what is being proposed.  With each e-mail I received a polite “Thank You” back and......NOTHING ELSE!!  WHERE ARE YOU MR. MINNICK??

I have followed the furor of the House debates through the Press coverage and the internet.  Have watched the arm twisting and the back-door deals being made by the Democrats.  I have watched closely on Mr. Minnick’s web site for information on the topic and.......NOTHING!!  WHERE ARE YOU MR. MINNICK??

I attended his community information meeting in Post Falls, and found at that time that even though the Senate had passed their bill on Christmas eve, he was still “studying it.”  Are you still studying Mr. Minnick?

On March 15, I e-mailed Senator Risch expressing the same reservations and concerns.  Within minutes I received an answer, in detail, as to why he opposes the bills and what he would prefer instead.  Is this not what our Representatives are supposed to do?  WHERE ARE YOU MR. MINNICK??

I ask Mr. Minnick, if he truly represents the people of this district, should he not be fighting hard within his Deocrat Party to defeat this bill, as the vast majority of his consituents would want?  We cannot find anything that would indicate he is doing so!  WHERE ARE YOU MR. MINNICK??

I pray that we do not find Mr. Minnick jumping out of his rabbit hole of timidity, and impaling himself on the Pelosi Sword of deceipt and deception.
