I've been longing for the day when someone had the balls to take my area's Taliban congressman on and hit him where he hurts.
Finally, after years of waiting after he was imposed on us by Tom DeLay's gerrymandering scheme, Pete Sessions will be finally challenged in the way he's been needing to be challenged for the longest by Grier Raggio.
More below.
Grier's web site is inviting enough, but what I really liked is his latest blog item.
He answers his own question, "Who's Your Sweetheart" with the following:
Probably not Pete Sessions. That is unless you’re a Washington lobbyist or a billionaire with a Ponzi scheme.
After spending 14 years in Washington, Pete Sessions has gone totally native. He spends his time cavorting around the country, raising money for candidates and scant time here at home in Texas. Help show Pete enough is enough.
I’m Grier Raggio and I’m running for Congress because it’s about time someone treated Texas families as well as Pete treats the special interests groups.
With unemployment and our education system falling behind our competitors, we need a Congressman who will get up everyday and fight for us – not spend their time gallivanting around the country with billionaires and lobbyists.
Think I’m kidding about how Pete Sessions spends his time? Check out this video and you’ll realize the joke is on us for as long as we let Pete Sessions continue to represent the 32nd District."
I laughed hard when I saw that video, and I sure hope he gets to air that throughout the district.
I pray that he gets the funding needed to battle against Sessions' special interest-fueled campaign. And I pray that our district will finally get someone who puts average folks above fat cats.
Pete Sessions is not for us and it's time he was defeated.
