While people in Ohio's 15th district are suffering from the latest Bush recession, our elected Republican member of Congress, Deborah Pryce, sits at home instead of doing something to help us. Pryce, who is not up for re-election, has apparently started a semi-retirement program of her own. She shows up to work in Washington, DC whenever she damn well feels like it. Unfortunately for us, Pryce hasn't felt like working and would rather hang out in her home in the affluent suburb of Upper Arlington.
Pryce has missed many votes (Washington Post) and now has missed 170 votes (13.8%) from the current Congress (just since January 2007).
Call Pryce's local office ( (614) 469-5614 ) and tell her staff that you are offended and upset that she has missed so much time in the Congress. They'll try to say that she is working in her Columbus office, but remind them that she was elected to serve in Washington, DC.
Meanwhile, Republican candidate for Ohio's 15th district, Steve Stivers, should be asked if he favors continuing the troop strength at 140,000 in Iraq. Does Stivers support Sen. McCain's plans for Iraq? Someone needs to find out where he stands.
