How did your DFL Congresswoman Betty McCollum represent you in Washington?


How Betty Voted PDF Print E-mail
For some reason Washington and Betty McCollum think the American people are stupid. They expect us to believe they could not find $34 billion to pay for extending unemployment benefits again. President Obama stressed the last time unemployment benefits were extended that is was not adding to our ever skyrocketing debt, what makes this time different? Has unemployment benefits become the newest welfare program? Should the unemployed be eligible for up to 125 weeks of benefits?
Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2010 - Vote Passed (271-152, 9 Not Voting)

On Thursday, the House passed this bill to extend unemployment benefits through November 30, making the extension retroactive to June 2 when the last extension expired. It was then sent to the president, who signed it the same day.

Rep. Betty McCollum voted YES

The Video Betty McCollum Doesn't Want You to See!!!

House Session - C-SPAN Video Library
Thanks to another pissed off MN CD 4 voter for finding this and sharing with me. THIS IS THE VIDEO BETTY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE!!! Here it is obvious she intentionally OMITS "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. At the time, her staffers claimed she took a breath...uhm, yeah that's it. Betty, here is what I think...due to the nature of the Bill before you, that somewhere in your liberal head you did this intentionally to make a point!!! We don't believe you!!!

What is really pathetic about this, is Betty was leading the House in the Pledge of Allegiance!!!  This is on CSPAN!!!  It's not like she was at her little desk in the back, or holding Nancy Pelosi's notepad, but she was leading the HOUSE in the Pleadge of Allegiance!!!  Free speech is one thing, disrespect to your position, the Flag and the American people is another.  Pathetic Betty, absolutely pathetic...Remember in November!!!

Did Betty intentionally omit "under God"? You decide...
 
July 5, 2010--Now You See Her PDF Print E-mail
In her best current practice of zip in, zip out, Fourth Congressional District visits, Betty organized a photo-op for Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Reps. Ellison and Oberstar to tout the planned $240 mil'n renovation of St. Paul's Union Depot as a regional transportation hub.  With less than 24-hours advance notice, the June 26th event, which included a host of invited local dignitaries - mostly Democrats - was reported by Dave Orrick of the ST PAUL PIONEER PRESS.

As Dave Orrick related, uninvited dignitaries who staged their own event included Teresa Collett, Joel Demos and Chip Craven, Republican-endorsed candidates for Minnesota's 4th, 5th and 8th Congressional Districts respectively, who criticized their opponents' fiscal responsibilities as irresponsible.  Only $130 mil'n of the $240 mil'n renovation cost has been committed.

Reps. Walz and Peterson were either not invited or missing in action; probably because they don't occupy Congressional seats considered safe for Democrats and feel that being too closely associated with Speaker Pelosi could be toxic to their re-election campaigns.  In a self-congratulatory mood, the invited dignitaries - which included Ramsey County commissioners and local labor leaders - publicly traded comments and posed for photos with Speaker Pelosi.  All for no purpose apparently, because none of the seven photos and illustrations published in the June 27th PIONEER PRESS coverage included the obligatory "grip and grin" with Speaker Pelosi or photos of invited dignitaries.
