Demise of Local News May Be Ruining Congress
"claim credit for accomplishments"
Example of that claiming credit is a recent opinion piece by Arizona Southern District Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally in the Tucson Daily Star .
"Congress helps fight national--and local--opioid problem."
<prescription opioids such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, and codeine, and the illegal opioid, heroin>
Congresswoman McSally, use your efforts to push the Republican leadership in Congress to fund drug treatment, nationally and locally with federal grants. Get the Republican controlled Legislature to provide some reasonable access to rehab patient and drug treatment centers rather than funds for more private prisons. Require and Fund treatment for those already serving time in state and local incarceration.
Us against them, the collapse of real accomplishments of Congress, the donnybrook and gridlock that has given the negative view of Washington as seen by far too many Americans.
"Why stick with the district's needs over party loyalty when no one in the district will ever hear about it -- except the die-hards who support the party line no matter what?"
The article writer hits the nail on the head, unless we carry the message who really knows the happenings, getting it from the likes of the Koch Brothers paid minions bringing a "doctored" message?
Letters to the editor, comments in social media all help but the biggest is the word of mouth to all of our spheres of influence. Talk as you walk, family, friends, neighbors all need to know how Congress is failing us, who locally are failing us, and the replacements available to replace failed politicians.
Start off with a solid progressive, knowledgeable former state legislator, Victoria Steele to replace Martha McSally in Congress. Victoria Steele has demonstrated dedication to the causes of "helping people rather than punishing them". There is no such thing as "boot straps", some of these folks don't even have shoes.
Numbers count, who controls Congress to help improve our next progressive President's course of action is a reliable majority. Arizona is in a very unique position to elect a US Senator with experience, talent and smarts, Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick. Promote Ann Kirkpatrick to the Senate and begin the come back of progressive congressional actions.
Ann Kirkpatrick has lived in Arizona her whole life. She’s spent her career fighting for Arizona families. Now she’s ready to bring her record of results and join our next President to bring America forward in a world needing progressive thinking.
It is up to us, volunteering with our local progressive organizations, or as elected Precinct Committee members standing with our local party organizations in our county and legislative districts.
There is a hole in government and it is up to us to plug it.
