Today, my US Representative, Peter Hoekstra, voted no on the S-Chip veto override. For me this vote boils down to one thing - VALUES. It sure looks like Pete values Blackwater and the defense industry. He values President Bush, even when his mismanagement of the Iraq War kills our American service people every day. It is also clear that Pete values needy children much less.
Pete and his followers can come off being pretty pious at times. They talk a lot about Christian values. I hope he takes the time to reread the words of Jesus Christ. "What you do for the least of these, you do for me."
It is time for our Congressional leaders to do more than mouth words about values while their hand is out for special interest contributions. It is time for us to elect people with real values.
I'm impressed with Scott Killips.
