What is it going to take?

Tonight Senators Wicker and Cochran voted to confirm Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.

When are our two Senators going to grow a spine and do what is right for MS and right for America?

Let's give them a job to do that they might accomplish and let's hold their feet to the fire.

So, here we go:

1.  We want to see 45's tax returns.  Do you think you could do that?

2.  We want an Independent Commission to investigate the 8 Nov 2016, election and we want to know exactly what Russia did.  Do you think you could do that?

If by chance your answer to either of the above requests is no, you need to resign because you are useless to the citizens of MS.

Last night...

Last night Senators Wicker and Cochran joined other Republicans on the floor of the United States Senate to silence Senator Elizabeth Warren on the subject of the nomination of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions to be our next Attorney General.

Are our Senators paying attention?  The American people are watching and we don't like what we see.  We are watching as evidence against your colleague, Jefferson Beauregard Session, is brought to our attention...over a period of many years.

To name just a few of Sessions' recent voting records:

1. He voted against the Matthew Sheppard hate crime bill.

2. He voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

3. He voted against the Lilly Ledbetter bill.

For many years, there have been discussions about Sessions' racist tendencies and yet the people of AL keep sending him back to DC.  That may be good enough for AL but is not "good enough" for the United States of America as a whole.

And yet, it is my belief that yet again, both of our MS Senators will vote to confirm their colleague, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.

When are MS's Senators going to vote to benefit our State? When are MS's Senators going to vote to benefit our Country? Yesterday, MS's Senators voted against our children when they voted in favor of Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education.

And if this is not enough, let's not forget the American people want to see 45's tax returns and we want an Independent Commission to investigate and publicly report Russia's interference in our Election.  We are focused and you need to stop playing games with America's future.

Senators Wicker and Cochran: Stop making our State look stupid.  We are not stupid and we can see that both of you are voting against what is best for MS.  Stand-up and reject Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.

Wicker and Cochran Voted Against MS's Children

And neither Senator can defend their vote for Betsy DeVos. Why?  Because there is no defense.

Our Senators both know that DeVos is not the best America has to offer.  They know that DeVos is not qualified.  DeVos has never taught in a school.  DeVos has never served on a school board.  She has never attended a public school.  She didn't send her children to public schools.  DeVos is simply a rich political operative and I believe our Senators...both of our Senators...need to be replaced because when our Senators vote against Mississippi's children, they are voting against our future.  

And, their votes today disrespected every teacher in the State of Mississippi.

As I stated at the beginning of this article, neither Roger Wicker nor Thad Cochran can defend their vote for Betsy DeVos.  They just can't.

Doesn't this say it all?

A Poem from Bob

Ode to the Chosen One.

Humpty Trumpty perched on his wall
Led this country to take a great fall.

All Trumpty's sycophants and his disturbed mind
Led us all as though were blind.

Humpty Trumpty from his high wall
Could not see reality, no not at all.

To Humpty Trumpty he was the King
Not letting our freedom bell ring.

Trumpty's “Alternative Facts”, also called lies,
Dishonor to his country he supplies.

Betsy DeVos

Dear Senators Wicker and Cochran,

I'm writing to tell you about what your colleague, Michael Bennet(D-CO), had to say about the MISSISSIPPI DELTA and our educational needs.

Bennet used the MISSISSIPPI DELTA as an example when he spoke against the nomination of Betsy DeVos to be our Secretary of State.  Bennet used the MISSISSIPPI DELTA to support his belief that DeVos is the wrong person to head our Department of Education.  I agree with Bennet.

So, Senators Wicker and Cochran, are you going to vote for the children of the MISSISSIPPI DELTA or are you going to vote with your Party?  We are watching.

Dear Senators Wicker and Cochran

I have watched and called and written and protested and still you voted to make Rex Tillerson our new Secretary of State.

It is obvious to me that you have placed your Party above our Country.

It is obvious to me that you have no respect for the State Department employees who have signed a Dessent Memo against Trump's Muslim ban.  Be aware that these employees are protected from retaliation.

It is obvious to me that you did not insist on a thorough investigation and an answer as to Russia's involvement in our Election before voting for Rex Tillerson.

It is obvious to me that you have voted for a Secretary of State who has strong ties to Russia.

It is obvious to me that you have voted for a Secretary of State who has no diplomatic experience.

It is obvious to me that you no longer have the best interests of the State of MS and the United States of America when you voted for Rex Tillerson.

It is obvious to me that it is time for MS to start voting for our best interest by replacing both Senator Roger Wicker and Senator Thad Cochran.
