Baumgartner weekly emails useless

My duty as US citizen is to try to stay politically informed which includes closely following my US Representative Michael Baumgartner. As such, I subscribe to his weekly, often quite lengthy, Friday evening emails and read them carefully.

Unfortunately, they’re mostly filled with politically motivated platitudes, and who or where he visited. The visits are generally with Fifth Congressional District individuals and organizations, mainly supporters, although most recently Nigeria at the invitation of President Donald Trump who threatened to invade Nigerians if Christians there weren’t better protected by the Nigerian government; in fact, Christians and Muslims are equally at peril by terrorist forces there.

Rather, I want to hear how Baumgartner voted—AND ESPECIALLY WHY--on the frequent controversial bills that he reliably votes Republican MAGA toady. Oh, yes, he occasionally goes into illogical and lengthy verbal contortions to try to justify his reliably MAGA vote. But he NEVER addresses issues in numerous letters to the editor negatively criticizing him.

I invite his constituents to subscribe to his weekly Friday evening Emails to see whether they can get any more out of them than I, whether he really believes the MAGA “alternative facts” or lacks courage to oppose them.

I find those emails useless!
