Sanford Bishop is a puppet to Nancy Pelosi. He knows his chances of reelection are pretty secure………..that’s why he’s sat up there for as long as he has. Not a lot of comments to him or about him. He’s just there………when are we going to wake up and set term limits on these inept bozo’s that are stealing us blind? The American people need to get it together and demand that these “employees” earn their pay and do the right thing for this country, not what they’re told to do by their “leadership”. Let’s start by voting this guy OUT. Let him practice law and earn a real living like the rest of us have to do.
CONGRESSMAN,
NOW THAT THE PEOPLES U.S.CONGRESS HAS DOCUMENTED OUR UNJUST AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM,HAVE YOU HEARD IF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN WE CAN ALL WATCH THESE POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS TAKE PLACE ?

LAWYERS FOR POOR AMERICANS IS A WWW VOLUNTEEER LOBBY THAT SINGS OUT FOR OUR MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR AMERICANS. WE CAN BE FOUND WITH ANY SEARCH ENGINE BY OUR NAME OR TELEPHONE NUMBER.(424-247-2013)
The time has come in American when those, in service, stop making a living off of those that work. Time to find a real job.

MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR RELIGIOUS AMERICANS REST OUR CASE AGAINST GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS & SATAN ~ YOUR U.S. SUPREME COURT HONOR’S !
Congressman, please support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act, H.R.4170. We desperately need student loan reform for Private Student Loan Sharks like Sallie Mae. Please support this bill which will allow for consolidation of Private Student Loans which are currently eligible and will also allow for refinancing of such loans. Currently, Private Student Loans cannot be rehabilitated and are subject to a different criteria than federally backed student loans. Please help!
Rep. Sanford Bishop,
I can’t believe how consistently you vote with Republicans—you voted NAY on the Progressive Caucus Budget—will you vote AYE on the economy KILLING Ryan budget?—Ryan’s budget is cruel, deceptive and slashes the safety net—and his budget math is full of holes. The Congressional Progressive Caucus, Back to Work Budget,is a detailed plan to create nearly 7 million jobs while bringing down the deficit by $4.4 trillion over a decade. And it does this the right way with higher taxes on the wealthiest (including a 49 percent rate on incomes over a billion dollars); a financial transaction tax that would discourage reckless speculation; an end to tax advantages for outsourcers & corporate jets; an environmental saving carbon tax; a public option for health insurance better than Obamacare; sensible military cuts; & investment in infrastructure, school construction, child care, & putting teachers & firefighters back to work. WHY would you vote against it???
