2. This is just a hint of what will be happening to all of our protected lands...

if Romney is elected.

Tea-bagger Cravaack is quite a piece of work. His "meet and greets" are held in small towns in his district and only announced the same day, to discourage attendance by non-supporters. He's an anti-union Rethug, who gets $92,000 a year in disability payments because his sleep apnea ended his Union job as a pilot with Northwest Airlines. He votes against bills for Veteran's benefits, while taking advantage of free health care through the VA.

He's also an Ohio native, who lived here while he worked for Northwest and now lives in New Hampshire, where his wife works for a pharmaceutical company. However, he criticized his predecessor, long-time Rep. Jim Oberstar, for moving his children to D.C., despite the fact that Oberstar's primary residence had always been in Northern Minnesota. Also, the part of the district he used to live in, is an exurb of the Twin Cities Metro area; the kind of bucolic place city folk move to when they feel threatened by "diversity." The town he lived in has little in common with the economic and environmental interests of the northern part of his district.

He doesn't take emails from non-constituents, but I'm sure he takes calls from the Koch Brothers.
