It is only 5 minutes from home. Unlike an hour drive to his office.

There was no way he was going to call on me after I spoke up twice early in the meeting. People in the back and those with hearing aids could not hear. I asked once before he got the microphone to turn it up. Once after. I was branded at that point.

Several conservatives clapped when former councilman Chuck F commented he doesn't want single payer. I wanted so bad to say why are you clapping for a convicted registered sex offender!

Last time I saw an event for Rep Smith scheduled in town (Kearney) it ended up being a bait n switch where they just had two staffers at the local library to answer questions but no Congressman.

"Will you be a scab,
Or will you be a man?"



I was called by the admin of a striking school district to become a teacher

I asked the guy, "You mean, be a scab?"
