7. Still trying to get through to Frulingheysen

May 2017

Busy, no answer and voicemail boxes full.

I did get through Tuesday, fwiw and I just sent the following:

"I strongly oppose the ACHA in its current form and you should as well, as the current bill is worse than the one you said you would not support.

If in today's vote, you chose your chairmanship over your constituents, over me and my children, I will remember in November 2018.

In fact, I will remember when your opponent declares and asks for money, support, and volunteers. I will make sure my friends and neighbors remember, too.

I have pulled the lever for you in the past. But if you vote for the ACHA to pass today, I will understand that you have finally abandoned the good of your district and constituents, that you are putting your political position above the people you are supposed to represent.

And I will remember.

Sadly,"
