What's the inside scoop on Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD)?
Bartlett "replied" to an e-mail I wrote against privatizing social security. He did not answer me with a yes or no on question. He did not mention the word "privatization." Instead he wrote a classic political dodge.
"Please rest assured, my priorities are not to further a political agenda, but to preserve Social Security for benefit of our nation's seniors. Pleas note I received the Seniors Have No Finer Friend Award from the nonpartisan senior organization 60 Plus in both 2001 and 2002, demonstrating my commitment to these issues."
I e-mailed him just now asking for a yes or no answer on privatization.
Does anyone know any inside stuff about Bartlett? Is he sane? I voted for Kenneth Bosley his democrat opponent last election, but Bosley lost because the Sixth District of MD is very red.
I worry when both my congressman and my pResident evade questions like this.

1. Good for you
For pinning him down.

Let us know if he gets closer to an answer.

3. Thanks for the Link, but anyone have something
personal to share about him. This link shows that he is anti-choice, ultra-conservative, and not good on civil rights or environment. I wish Bosley, would've won, don't y'all?
