Bad news indeed, but well written by that Mother Jones intern, capturing Buck McKeon's worldview and record. It was bracing to read, frankly, since I've been unable to stomach Buck's act as ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee on C-SPAN for more than a few minutes at a time. I've been in serious denial since I moved from Brad Sherman's district to Buck's in 2005, still sending most of my missives to Brad. If I can't stand the thought of living another two years as Buck's constituent, at least until reapportionment, I suppose I could move back a few blocks south or west. Or just wander the wilderness areas of my ZIP code represented by Adam Schiff and Howard Berman. I am a Tujungan for life, but also a peace activist. So I feel responsible that my Congressman has so much power over military policy in our country. I only starting thinking about this last night after Sharon's post, but I need a stealthier strategy -- I should speak up regularly to the Honorable representative as one of the good old boys in this immense 25th District that stretches to my favorite campground in Alpine County west of Reno. Avoid the jargon of the left and quote saner Republicans to object to his positions and actions in old fashioned letters mailed to his district and D.C. offices. Then enlist other peaceniks nearby to join in and show the Buckster what it takes to be cool with the homeboys, his freaking constituents. Yikes! A Buck McKeon thread on the Montrose Peace Vigil message board now seems vital. |

Wow, Edmond, what a scoop! I can hardly wait 'til he's NOT our congress person. So long you corrupt S.O.B. (son of a buck)!

How great to have our MPV board to keep up with what's important, even up here in very quiet, almost empty Sequoia!
