1. I listened to all I could...about two minutes. Can you tell me what
point Issa made in his five minute speech?

2. Issa was paying tribute to his nephew, who was a staffer to Dennis Kucinich
That part tracked. Then he started saying that Congress shouldn't pass new laws(which would beg the question of why we would bother electing them, but leave that pass). I'll try to get through the last two minutes to see where else Issa was going with this.

3. Well, ST- maybe you could give him a listen. I have never been to crazy about him
but he ws talking about his family this time and he seemed human. For some reason it reminded me of Sting's, 'I Hope The Russians Love Their Children Too'.

4. I'm sorry for his family's recent loss.
But Mr. Issa has only spoken three times in the last eight years? His nephew's recent death has renewed in him a spirit of liberty to look at bills that are preventing ecologically sensentive people from enjoying their rights? His loss in his family has made him think about reaching accross to the Dems. First he should look at his Repub. collegues and then look at all those no bid contracts that are creating the worst pollution in the world-WAR.
