YESTERDAY REVISITED

Linden believes that his posting yesterday regarding Representative Lynn Westmoreland's (R-GA) effort to secure signatures on his "I will vote to increase U.S. oil production to lower gas prices for Americans" petition is important enough to warrant an additional posting. http://westmoreland.house.gov/
This one day time lapse swelled the number signing to 188 from 183 and now includes the staggering total of 3 Democrats (large D.) Most democrats have not responded at all but 6 have said they will not sign the petition. Sadly, 11 republicans (small r) have indicated they also will not sign the petition.
A quick scan of the 2006 voting rating of these 11 as provided in 2007 by Citizens Against Government Waste indicates that most of these 11 have moved from being rated as either friendly to lukewarm to taxpayers to now being considered by CAGW as being unfriendly to taxpayers. In other words, they are now more like democrats.
These 11 are Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, Johnson of Illinois, Bartlett of Maryland, Ramstad of Minnesota, Ferguson, Frelinghuysen, LoBiondo, Saxton and Smith of New Jersey, Inglis of South Carolina and Reichert of Washington.
When this season, which is devoted to attempting to enlighten regarding democrats, is over, perhaps we will start focusing on republicans who have lost their way.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Tuesday did not start off well at all: very shaky and dizzy - this lasted for a bit. Thinking that I needed to spoil myself, I ate two of the Danish Kringles pieces Katia had sent: One raspberry and one pecan. They were delicious! You might check them out at www.ohdanishbakery.com The rest of the day involved going to the credit union to take care of some business I had let slide, picking up mail at the post office and the delivery box and doing a bit of writing. Little real activity.
