I just received this enthusiastic invitation in my e-mail box:
"We just found out that Rep. Jim Cooper will be coming home from D.C. this evening, and he'll be arriving at the Nashville Airport around 5:30 p.m.
Rep. Cooper is a strong supporter of health insurance reform, and we want to make sure he gets a warm welcome to show we appreciate his hard work."
Given that Jim is one of the Dems on the list of those that voted to restrict a woman's reproductive rights, I think it would be great if those living in the Nashville area would give Jim just the kind of welcome he deserves!
Unfortunately, I won't be returning home from New York until late this evening, so I'll miss the chance to let Jim know just how much I appreciate everything he does for us Dems in the Volunteer state.
But if you live in the Nashville area -- or anywhere near, please take the time to let Jim know just how you feel. He'd love to hear from you!
Here's more from the e-mail:
It'll be a quick and fun event, and go a long way toward demonstrating to Rep. Cooper the support we all share for reform.
Opponents of reform could be out in force, trying to condemn him -- so it's crucial that we show where we stand. Please join us.
Opponents of reform out to condemn him? Oh my, we can't allow that.
WHAT: Jim Cooper Welcoming Party
WHEN: Tonight from 5:30 - 6:30
WHERE:Metropolitan Nashville Airport One Terminal Drive
Assemble at the base of the escalator between baggage claim 2 and 3
Sorry for the short diary, but I think it's important that Jim knows how his constituents feel about his support of Stupak.
UPDATE: This email was sent by the Tennessee chapter of Organizing for America. Here's the link for the RSVP to the event:
