We were supposed to do our sit-in today in Portland but this is a photo showing how the city looked yesterday. Here in Bath we did not see any flooding but our electricity was out for most of the day and night. We heard that we had the equivalent of a category 1 hurricane here.
It would be hard to hand out leaflets on the street today, not that anyone would be walking around.
So we are going to have to reschedule. I'm sure Tom Allen's staff will be disappointed.
But don't worry folks, we'll be back to let the people of Portland know that our congressman continues to talk out of both sides of his mouth.
When the congressman says, "I voted against the invasion in 2002. I will vote now to end it by supporting the Iraq Accountability Act with its benchmarks and timetables for redeploying U.S. forces from Iraq."
He knows he is lying to the people. He knows this bill allows Bush to waive all the restrictions and timetables. Allen knows that he is voting to give Bush more money than he even requested for 2007. Allen knows full well that this occupation of Iraq is not going to end anytime soon.
My mother always told me, "The proof is in the pudding."
This pudding, that the Rep. Tom Allen is supporting, is a lie. We will continue to remind the public that our congressman says he is against the war but keeps enabling Bush. You can't have it both ways.
