Rep. Jerry McNerney, please see the public
Now I am considered part of a mob, of which I disagree. I am not a manifesto-carrying maniac as portrayed by the news media. The real manifesto-carrying types work for ACORN.
I want to see the congressman visit the citizens of our 11th Congressional district during his recess. A town hall meeting is in order here. It should not be some controlled phone sideshow. The meeting should be in the Valley for our convenience.
I am a citizen who does not agree with what is going on in our country. This meeting should be well publicized so that all who can make it, will.
I hope that we can show the congressman more respect than some of the clips I have seen on the news. Let him answer our questions and hear our concerns. Geez, I got that out without one swear word.
Bill Keller

To Jeff: Yes Nakanishi is running for the board of equalization and from what I know he is very clean and honest. What a change.
I can't find any positive about Jerry McNeb however, other than I am going to the sacramento airport in the next few days and hopefully he is polishing shoes. [or licking Nancy's boots] "

His relationship to Lodi was a little different as an Assmblyman vs. a Congressman. "

However, McNerney is planning on holding one of those nifty telephone town-hall meetings but the date and time has not yet been determined. According to Afshan it should occur within the next two weeks. How this works is that I should be receiving a call from them giving me the telephone number for the meeting along with a PIN that will give me access to him once the meeting begins.
I wonder, is this telephonic town-hall meeting system something new, or have they used it in the past? If new, could it simply be a way to avoid eye contact with those desiring answers?
I was unable to find out where he is at this moment so I suppose all I can do now is wait for the phone call to be returned letting me know when to dial in for the town-hall meeting. This doesn't instill confidence. "

McNerney had the backing of the Democratic Party along with union support and ran a wonderful smear campain against Richard Pombo. He is a puppet with N. Pelosi pulling the strings. Remember on Nov. 2, 2110 vote his azz out of office. "

Pleasanton district office, 925-737-0727 and for his DC office, 202-225-1947. Now go forth and jam the phone lines. "

US citizens will compare evil #1 (Republican) vs. evil #2 (Democrat) and they will ask themselves, which one is worse? US citizens are happy if they vote for a lesser evil, but they are still getting an evil.
McNerney will run a smear campaign against his opponent, and voters will listen. "

There is no controversy.
McNerney can investigate on behalf of the veteran, earn votes, without compromising any of the criminal activities in Washington or New York. "

Before I got to speak with McNerney, one of the representatives overheard my discussion, and he asked, "are you Daniel Hutchins?" "

Last time McNerney made a public appearance (which was in Woodbridge), I had a bill in my hand that he had voted on, and I had read it from front to back.
I asked McNerney questions in public, with 150 witnesses, and McNerney was very skilled at lying to me, while at the same time, creating the appearance that he was answering my question.
After I spoke, next person asked a question that was related to mine, but McNerney sensed that the 2nd person was not so well-informed and McNerney spent less time lying to the 2nd person than he did with me. "
