Congressman Bill Young's failure to follow through and see that the mess at Walter Reed was corrected while he was a powerful member of the House Appropriations Committee are well documented in Kos’ story on the subject. My own diary also mentions Susan S's quick work to expose Young's hypocrisy.
How do we respond? See below.

I would like to encourage Pinellas County Democrats to protest at local meetings Young attends and to picket his office when he is in town. The goal would be to drive the issue home with voters, and more importantly, to let him and his wife experience some of the downside of being a "public servant".
Some suggestions for signs:
BILL YOUNG SAT ON HIS HANDS WHILE VETS LAY IN THEIR URINE
WALTER REED IS BILL YOUNG'S SHAME
LOYALTY TO BUSH MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOYALTY TO VETS
DEMOCRATS HAD TO WIN BEFORE VETS STOPPED LOSING
WE NEED POLITICAL LEADERS, NOT A RUBBER STAMP CONGRESS
If you have your own suggestions please post them as a comment.
