I received an interesting note from Mike Johannes today.



Senator Johanns e-Update
September 6, 2012

Listening To You:

This past month, I’ve enjoyed traveling across the state. I’ve heard lots of different stories along the way and appreciate hearing your views and opinions so I can use them to make the best decisions possible when I head back to Washington next week. At every event – from Community Coffees to ag policy meetings to touring drought affected areas – your message has been clear: Washington needs to stop political partisanship and adopt real policies that help Americans get back to work, reduce our government’s out-of-control spending, and provide our farmers and ranchers with the certainty they need and the risk management support they deserve. I understand that in order for our country to tackle these great challenges we must set aside politics and find a way to come together to get things done for the American people.


Beyond the obligatory "out-of-control spending" reference, I have the impression that Nebraskans may have told Johannes that the Party of No needs to stop it with the stonewalling. What do you think?

they probably told him that he needs to stop Obamacare and the abortion holocaust. Johanns is a stupid robot that will only vote with the GOP on every single issue no matter what's best for the state and that will be good enough to get him re-elected every time.

Stonewalling is all good, except when it might affect *my* pocketbook. Know what I mean?
