Is that an option today?

A substitute or an artificial substance for the real need is never the best choice.

Let's see if we can cause a similar system wide meltdown in the voting booths this November.

From the main www.house.gov website:

Due to an unusually high amount of emails currently being submitted through the Write Your Representative feature (above), you may experience a slow response or error message when attempting to send emails through this system during hours of peak demand. We apologize for this inconvenience. Our technicians are working to fix the problem. Thank you.

It's system wide.

Bye-Bye all those who voted yes.

Other options were available other than plunging your hand in my pocket. Not disputing something had to be done, but just because pickpocketing was easier doesn't make it right. Thanks for the additional billion and a half in pork by the way. I am looking forward to buying those wooden arrows subsidized in the bill. I have your names and will not only vote accordingly, I will actively campaign to promote the other guy and those who voted no.

As an American I don't think I've ever been more ashamed of my government then today. The folks in 1776 and 1861 had it right, some times you just have to secede.

Bye-Bye Brad Miller

An open letter to Brad Miller in the 13th. Neither his campaign site or official congressional homepages can process emails. Must be all the people congratulating him.

Are you resigning or do we need to vote you out? You voted for the 'no bank left behind" bill. As a new resident here, I can assure you, I will do what I can to see that you lose your job in Washington. As someone normally votes, I can assure you I will vote for Hugh Webster in the 13th. I hope that whatever you have gotten for your vote was worth it. You may be re-elected. Maybe you will develop a conscience.

Here's how N.C. House members voted on a bailout of the financial markets, a bill that passed the House on Friday with a 263-171 vote.

FOR: Democrats Mel Watt, Bob Etheridge, David Price and Brad Miller; Republicans Howard Coble and Sue Myrick.

AGAINST: Republicans Robin Hayes, Virginia Foxx, Patrick McHenry and Walter Jones; Democrats G.K. Butterfield, Heath Shuler, and Mike McIntyre.

After the jump, what they said.
