Pakootas, for leadership

Sat., Aug. 2, 2014

So the Republican House of Representatives leadership now wants to sue President Obama over certain executive orders, even though he has issued fewer of them than most other presidents. But the real ethical, if not legal, offense is that the Republican leadership, including Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, won’t allow a vote of the full House on the Senate-passed immigration bill – S.744 – even though it has enough House votes to pass and thus become law with Obama’s promised signature.

Please join me and vote for Joe Pakootas, who will represent all of the people with an independent voice rather than simply echo the political leadership.
