VIDEOS- Selected from the Democrat Town Hall Caucus today-DEMS SPEAK OUT

[liveoaktx]

Didn't do them all, did the ones that spoke most to me. If you didn't watch, the Dems did a webcast and had a number of House reps speak about subjects, as well as take questions that had been emailed or sent through the web form to them. The ones I clipped were (of course)Jim McGovern, who I would most like to be my rep if I was in that state, Chet Edwards, who is my rep and guess what, represents Crawford-heh, Bill Pascrell, Xavier Becerra, and Jan Schakowsky. Tuned in a little late to hear all of Nancy Pelosi's speech, but hope they have archived the entire webcast on the site

2. OMG, the story Jim McGovern tells about the father of a vet

is absolutely heartbreaking. Everyone has to listen to it, it's about halfway through.

Thanks liveoaktx.

Edited to add: liveoak, you may want to consider a separate thread with a cut of version of McGovern's response regarding the father's tale, it is very powerful.

3. I'm not for cloning but if every Dem house member had McGovern's heart

and nerve, we'd always be on top.

It is powerful, isn't it? Very sad.

4. As the father of a 20 year old I cannot fathom the pain

that dad must feel every waking moment.

"The next time his head laid in my lap was when I cut the hose he used to hang himself..."

Dear Lord.......

:cry:

FUGWB!!!!!!!!
