THE TROJAN HORSE HAS COME TO WASHINGTON
IT IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

http://nosheepleshere.blogspot.com/2009/03/from-now-on-we-people-will-be-writing.html

From Now On, WE THE PEOPLE Will Be Writing The Press Releases. The Second American Revolution Has Begun!

'What follows is an article, no actually, a dream thread that was posted over at Texas Darlin. It has generated a great many comments. People are sick and tired of what is going on in our nation’s capital. The shine is off Dear Leader’s star and people are fed up with the corruption of our lawmakers and this Administration’s flagrant disregard for We The People.

From now on, we’re writing the press releases. And taking all the names, titles, and language back that have been used against us. The Second American Revolution has begun.

This is your dream thread in helping to design the most effective mass demonstration in the history of the United States. Yes, we will need money, but let’s not think about that now. How do we pull all of our efforts together? Thank you in advance!'

Mike Pence spent a great deal less and is a great deal more effective.

Total salaries for 2008 $996,341

Carson hasn't a person on his staff who should be making more than 50K per year. A do nothing staff for a do nothing congressman who does nothing other than what he is told by the democrat leadership (I know that I'm using the word leadership loosely here)in DC.

Wasn't Ellen Quigley a 25th Floor staffer in the Peterson Administration?

Couple of the names should be familiar.

Melissa Fisher is Julia's former campaign manager. She went by her maiden name at the time which escapes me at the moment.

Wasn't Erin Rosenberg (Any relation to Judge Louis?) more or less a Carson apologist (besides You-Know-Who) on the blogosphere?

Gary R. Welsh said...

Yes, Ellen worked for Peterson. Her husband, Fran, appeared in campaign commercials for Andre. Fisher worked on the campaigns for both Julia and Andre. Erin is the daughter of Judge Lou Rosenberg. She is the one who used to frequently comment on the blogs under her own name prior to joining Andre's staff.

This is exactly why I have decided to become a die-hard socialist. I don't feel that Quigley and Ragland are paying enough of their "fair share." It is high time that anyone making $100K/year pays at least half of that back to government. We need fair taxation NOW!!!

Now wonder Fran and Ellen _love_ big government. Ellen is making $144K due to big government by working in Congress. Fran is making $88K due to big government by working for a public university. The Quigley's be rich!! I don't think they are paying their fair share...when is Barak going to take more of their money and spread it around to poor folks like me?

Concerned Taxpayer said...

Are any of them white?

Well, shouldn't they "reflect" their district?

Or does that only count for blacks?

Gary R. Welsh said...

The chief of staff, Ellen Quigley, is Caucasian. I couldn't tell you what the make-up of the remainder of the staff is, but I know who could.

Wilson46201 said...

The 7th District population is approximately 2/3 Caucasian - the staff at the Congressional Office is approximately 2/3 Caucasian. Rather representative, eh?

Obama's tax plan lowers taxes on households making less than $250,000 which would thus include the Quigleys (like 95% of all American households)..
