Shame on Rep. Joe Wilson

Obviously Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina is a disrespectful person. He is the person that yelled, "You lie," during the President's address last night. Wilson must be very busy today because Wilson's official U.S. House website is "...down for maintenance."

CNN has a follow up to Wilson's comment. Apparently, Americans have responded quite loudly against Wilson's heckling. You can contact Wilson at---- FAX: 202-225-2455, (803) 939-0041, (843)521-2530, (202) 225-2452) Wilson should be called out because he was grossly disrespectful to the President. By the way, I've tried several times to call Wilson's listed phone numbers, but they are all busy and the mailboxes are full. Even his campaign office telephone number (803) 926-1413 has a full mail box.

Shame on Rep. Joe Wilson. Shame on South Carolina. What is wrong with South Carolina that they have people like Joe Wilson and their Gov. Sanford? What ever happened to the Southern gentlemen of the past?

Raw Story:

...Wilson is a major recipient of contributions from the health care industry.

In fact, over his entire congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson’s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics OpenSecrets.org database. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes....

Wow! Looks like Wilson likes that money from the opponents of health care reform.

* The following is from Joe Wilson campaign website concerning a recent fundraiser:

Wednesday, August 19th
7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.....

Paid for by Joe Wilson for Congress Committee

...Sponsored by
South Carolina Medical Equipment Services Association
P.O. Box 3284, West Columbia, SC 29171 Phone 803-926-1772...

Looks like Republican Rep. Joe Wilson has been raking in the big, big money from the anti-health care reform companies, associations, and lobbyists.
