LTE to Press Democrat about Womack

What would you do with $1,000,000? Here’s what we spent it on in NW Arkansas. We elected Steve Womack.

Womack has been our Congressman here in Northwest Arkansas since 2011. During these past 12 years, he introduced a minuscule 49 pieces of legislation; only 2 bills even passed the House (one was to ban contaminated poppy seeds.) Just one of his bills became law. It commemorated the Marshal Service.

That’s it. Twelve years of our lives that we will never get back. We paid him through our taxes at least one million dollars; and I also believe he also gets his retirement benefit from the National Guard. So, I would say our ROI stinks. I wonder if the Kochs, et al, feel the same way.

Arkansas ranks among the bottom of all 50 states in terms of income, education, health and safety in our cities. Sadly, he gave us a lot of nothing. You would think that money would at least buy his loyalty; but sadly, I can’t even confirm that.

Womack voted for the January 6th Congressional coup ring leader to be the SPEAKER of the House. If ever there was a statement that he is anti democracy, this is it. Unanimously, the entire GOP voted for Mike Johnson. Sadly, from this I find, rather than defend and protect our Constitution, Womack, et al are complicit, wanting to install a dictator to run our country into the ground as the rich from around the world steal all our resources.
