U.S. debt crisis brings protesters to Frelinghuysen's office in Morristown
Edited on Wed Jul-27-11 02:22 PM by DainBramaged
Protesters outside Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen’s office on Tuesday urged the Republican congressman to vote to increase the nation’s debt ceiling.

About 40 members of the Morris Council for the Rebuilding of the American Dream, an affiliate of the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org, carried signs outside the Schuyler Place office reading “Rodney, Will You Stand Up for the Middle Class?” and “Frelinghuysen Don’t Default on Us.”

“We want the Republican Congress to vote to make a compromise,” said Truscha Quatrone of Montville.

According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the government will run out of money by Tuesday and risk default unless legislators agree to raise the debt limit.

ignorant repubbie Congressman's office. It even made the local news, which is rare here. They seldom show our side of things. For example, Rockford is an hour from Madison, and they seldom report on any of the ongoing struggles there. They do report other Wisconsin news, though. We are close to the Wisconsin border.

Of course, when they gave a report on the demonstration at the Congressman's office, and even showed a video clip, it was brief. They gave the ignorant Congressman all the time he needed to respond to the criticism, in a phone interview.

I called his office yesterday. The aide was very humble. I got the feeling that my angry phone call was far from the first that she has listened to that day.
