An alert reader from Summit Hill provided a link to an interesting analysis of possible Pennsylvania redistricting scenarios. A blogger for the Washington Post, Aaron Blake, believes that Carbon County may be pushed into Tim Holden’s district. It would be sweet to be represented by an intelligent congressman rather than Lou Barletta. For a look at this possibility go to <http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/mapping-the-future/a-safer-map-for-pennsylvania-r.html>.
I also want to call your attention to the documentary photographer Milton Rogovin, who died last month at 101. Rogovin originally was a optometrist in Buffalo. He also happened to be a Communist; during the McCarthy period in the 1950s he was harassed for his political beliefs. He changed occupations, becoming a photographer. The Library of Congress has his negatives and prints, but you don’t have to go to Washington to see a selection of his work. Just click on <www.miltonrogovin.com>. I think you will be impressed.
Maybe Holden would answer our letters!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting that link for Milton Rogovin. I would love to see the exhibit in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteIn regard to Barletta, I finally received a letter replying to my phone call expressing my concern about repealing the ACA. It is a long letter and I will spare everyone the details. However, it ends with this sentence,"Rest assured, your opposition to H.R. 2, Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, will be well remembered during the 112th Congress." What does that mean?! Is he making a list of his constituents that do not agree with him? Will there be repercussions?! Do I need to move to Canada?
