Well I know everybody has been waiting for an update on my one man crusade to bring Congressman Etheridge back home. So far I have protested outside of the Johnston County Court House, His office in Raleigh and today 10 June 10, 2009 at his Lillington office. At every stop I did have some people question me on what I was doing. I told them that the Congressman has been in Washington to long for one thing he voted on President Obama’s so called stimulus bill that he admitted he did not read then complained when he found out that AIG was getting such big bonuses. But then became silent when he found out from Democrat Senator Chris Dodd said the Obama Administration asked for it to be included. Except for one instance everybody seemed to agree he should not have voted on the bill before he had a chance to read it.
Some asked bring him home from where or is he missing. So I would reply from Washington for he has been there so long that he has started to act like a San Francisco Liberal and since he is one of us that we need to save him by bringing him home before he turned completely to the dark side. That always got a laugh or chuckle. After all regardless of what party affiliation we are after all North Carolinians and we need to help each other. And right now he needs a lot of help.
At his Lillington office I surprised how many thumbs up I did receive. People even stopped their cars to ask me questions. When I arrived I went in and introduced myself and then thanked them for their hospitality when I left. I was very polite which I do not think they expected. Need to get more people to join me next time. His staff did come out to get the correct spelling of my name and ask who I represented, I told them right now just me, but I hope that soon it will be a lot more. That many people are upset by the way he is voting.
