As the time nears, colors change. If the vote had been five or six weeks ago before the people had time to investigate this garbage bill, Congressman Tim Walz would have yelled so loud that Nancy and her cronies would have trembled.

Many of us sat in on your meetings with our mouths closed and ears opened. We watched your eyes as you sidestepped our many concerns. The eyes tell the story of truth, loyalty, integrity, duty, honor, country, respect, selfless-service.

Brother Walz, I suggest you go back to the classroom in Mankato and write this on the chalkboard, 100 times. “I will not continue to be a standpatter, against the needs of my district and country.”

By the way, thank you for your stand with and for veterans this past week.
