Larsen feels no need to be accountable

Apparently my name is on Larsen’s black list. He has replied to some others on his vote for the bankruptcy bill - but only, as he writes, because they support him. He explains that only 25 people emailed his office before the vote with concerns. This explains how I have heard he operates - he pays attention to public relations, not principles. He feels he is accountable only to those who contribute or support him - not all citizens in the 2nd District. This is his practice.

Larsen tells a select few that he found some good and some bad in the bill and not many constituents opposed to it. Of course, what is bad is how it will crush those who must file for bankruptcy. The bill will prevent their getting back on their feet. Larsen is one of a handful of Democrats who voted for this cherished Bush administration bill. The big banks love it. Larsen pushes the myth that the ‘savings’ will be passed to consumers.

Larsen has announced he now has a quarter million dollars towards his next reelection. Such are his priorities. Local progressives and liberals should not support him. If we want change, then we first need to houseclean. Larsen feels no need to be accountable for his actions to citizens - and this is worse than how he votes.
