I was extremely disappointed in my U.S. representative, Bruce Braley, 1st District. Last weekend, a travesty happened in the House of Representatives. Several months ago Braley held a town-hall meeting in Independence with the main topic being health care reform. Amid the many other problems presented in opposition to the plan, I asked Braley before about 200 gathered if the bill that ultimately passed would include federal tax money to fund abortion. He blatantly said he would not vote for a bill that included such funding.

You know what I have to say? Liar! We must vote out these frauds in November. Please do not vote for anyone Democrat or Republican who would vote for murder.
