Joe Manchin is ...

[WVGIRL]

23. Rich.

I like Joe too. I voted for him. I would like for him to be more progressive but I feel we are lucky to have a Dem in that spot.
I’m sure he learned a lot from Sen. Byrd and deep down agrees with most things the Dems are doing but has to “toe the line” in order to keep these crazy right-wingers from crucifying him in ads.
I call his office often to beg him to support the BBB plan and the reconciliation package. It’s frustrating that it is all I can do😞
You see, we are nearing retirement and really really need to have dental, hearing, and optical included in Medicare.
And I am a universal pre k teacher in our public schools and see how families also need the support that is in that package.

I do think that Joe cares about us but he is trying to survive in the brainwashed WV political climate. It is so sad because WV had such a strong labor movement history and look what it has become.

I will keep calling him as I do Capito’s office, to let them know there are constituents out here who are really wanting them to vote for the peoples’ interests instead of corporate interests. Show me you care about me, Joe, I’m counting on you!
