Rep. Doug Ervin’s Capitol Connection 8/26/09

Below is the most recent Capitol Connection from Missouri state Representative Doug Ervin. ClayCoMOPolitics had the opportunity to set down with Mr. Ervin a couple weeks ago and was reminded that he does have good representation at the state level, and, that all politicians aren’t bad. Some are actually very informed, they are just few and far between.

I asked Mr. Ervin at the time if he would consider speaking out about health care from his perspective, first as a citizen of Missouri, second, as someone that represents other citizens of Missouri. For those that don’t know, this is an issue that Mr. Ervin is well versed in, and one he has been working on at the state level for years. It is my hope that all state Senators and Representatives are speaking out like this in their respective districts. This is an outstanding piece, well written, well worth your time to read. There are real solutions proposed by Mr. Ervin at the end, and I must say, if we only had his voice in Washington on this issue! Thank you Mr. Ervin for taking your time to do this!

Straight Talk With Sam-8/24

Below is the August 24th edition of Congressman Graves e-newsletter Straight Talk With Sam. In it Congressman Graves addresses the issue of health care co-ops. We should be concerned about this because we really don’t know what they are and many think, like me, that its just a nice word for a public option plan.
