I have a very new phone number. People who had the number before must have been Repugs. This afternoon at 4:00 my phone rang. When I answered they said Congressman Roy Blunt was on the line with a conference call.. I listen to his prepared remarks then they took calls from all his district. When they would say Springfield I hoped it would be me. I was going to ask about the children's health he will vote against this week. I wanted to ask about Iraq also. I believe the questions were prepared. Everyone asked a different silly question One man from Clever said he thought the reasons people are losing their home was gas prices. He said that to make a living they have to drive long distances to their jobs. He mentioned he heard on the radio today that gas went to 87.00 a barrel. He mention the high profit the oil company was making. He said something to be done. Roy said they are working on it . In 20-25 years we would have a solution. The man wanted to ask another question but was cut off.
Another person asked about how they needed help on medical coverage. I believe they made
$20,000. a year. They were on Medicare and Medicare D. They had allot of medical bills that was hurting them.
Roy said not to worry because if they went to the hospital they would find out it would not cost them a dime. I listened to his bullshit for an hour. They never called me. He would say "we going Joplin" or wherever... "I believe I have Sharon on the line". One man thank him for having phone conference. I didn't learn anything. Anonymous
