Comments on Live On Slog in About an Hour: Congressman Jim McDermott

Rep. McDermott:

What will this Congress do to make concrete progress on slowing the United States' staggering contribution to global warming? I think it's clear that more study and research and committees are not the answer: we need to take decisive action on as many fronts as possible (conservation, new energy sources, etc.), and Bush's recent suggestions would be laughable if they weren't so depressing in their inadequacy. What can we expect and when can we expect it?

Thank you for giving us this opportunity.

Would you be a voice in the House to support Sen. Eric Oemig's effort to impeach Bush?

Hello Rep. McDermott,
I sat next to your mother, Rose, at the 2004 Democratic caucuses. She was very sweet.

1) What will you do to put an immediate end to our American presence in the Iraq war?

2) During your oath of office, you swore to uphold the Constitution. It is your duty to impeach this criminal president. Will you perform your duty?

Thank you!

Dear Congressman McDermott:

I would like to offer a public apology to you. I was Linnea Noreen's campaign manager. I needed the money, she swore she was a liberal, now she's been offered a job at the Discovery Institute. I'm mortified. Anyway, just so you know, I voted for you not her.

Sincerely,

Morgan Dutton

Rep. McDermott,

Will Congress be able to stop the White House from increasing the number of troops in Iraq? Ideally, I would like to see senior members of the Executive Branch have to come and testify that this is their plan and what it will achieve and when, does Congress have the power and will to insist that this occurs? Finally, is the White House's plan really a 'surge' or is it merely a return to the troop levels of a couple years ago?
