You really listened to what people had to say whether they agreed with you or not and responded honestly. I hope you continue that here.<BR/><BR/>Even though we may disagree with how we want to get there, one thing we need to keep in mind is that we are all Americans who love our country. Even our Founding Fathers had their differences, and that hasn't changed in 232 years and probably won't for the next 232 years.<BR/><BR/>Happy 4th of July!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-61535431827783028532008-07-03T23:59:00.000-04:002008-07-03T23:59:00.000-04:00Welcome to the blogosphere, Stacy.

Did you attend either <A HREF="http://www.timesonline.com/articles/2008/07/02/news/doc486c34bbc88b5115236296.txt" REL="nofollow">town hall meeting</A>?<BR/><BR/>The Republicans controlled Congress for the 12 years before the Democrats took control of Congress last year. This includes President Bush’s first 6 years with Melissa Hart. I won’t waste space with the litany of problems that caused starting with a fiscal policy that was anything but conservative. The Republican congress didn’t do anything about oil prices when they had years.<BR/><BR/>I don’t think Melissa Hart deserves a second chance when she did little outside of partisan bickering the first time. Jason Altmire’s first chance is still a work in progress, and I think he deserves to continue to be our Congressman to finish the work he started.<BR/><BR/> I don’t think Jason Altmire is opposed to the expansion of drilling, however, he wants the oil companies to explore more of the areas they already have before getting more. Instead, the oil companies have been spending billions buying back their own stock rather than putting money into exploration. If the existing areas have no value, then why are they holding onto them rather then allowing others to explore them?<BR/><BR/>I feel very confident that Jason Altmire is committed to tackling issues like nuclear energy, clean-coal technology and other sources of energy as hard as he has fought for issues like <A HREF="http://www.altmire.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=258&Itemid=54" REL="nofollow">supporting veterans and their families, protecting rights for gun owners, small businesses, seniors, families and children</A> in just his first year and a half in office.<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-15047128454708281782008-07-03T20:15:00.000-04:002008-07-03T20:15:00.000-04:00Great blog, Stacy!
