To the Editor.
Like many people in Congressman Space’s district I am disappointed with his decision to vote for the government takeover of our health-care system. But I was even more disappointed when I went to my mail box a few days ago to find that he is using taxpayer dollars to send out campaign-like literature to defend his liberal vote. If he feels the need to defend his vote due to the fact that it may cost him his seat in Congress next year, he should do so with campaign funds and not my hard earned tax dollars.
The most ironic thing about this piece is that it asks us to “get in touch with Congressman Space”; which, many of us have tried to do since August without success. He had absolutely no interest in listening to his constituents and has determined to vote the way his party leadership is directing him. On Saturday, November 28 the Columbus Dispatch reported that Zack Space votes with the majority of his party 94.9% of the time.
Zack Space can claim to be a blue dog, but his actions speak louder than his words. Ohio’s 18th District should be represented by someone who shares our values, not by one of the most liberal members of Congress. We should be represented by someone like Fred Dailey. The 2010 election season may be young, but so far I am most impressed with Fred Dailey’s message of protecting the American dream and preserving our Ohio values.
