Flying Jim Sensenbrenner visits Tosa

Freebie Jim Sensenbrenner, taking a break from his busy schedule of flying around the world on special interests' expense accounts, will drop in on his own district Saturday for a town hall meeting.

It's at 9 a.m. at the Wauwatosa Library.

Bryan Kennedy, the Democrat running for Flying Jim's seat, suggests a few questions just to get the conversation started:

-Can you justify to the voters of this district $200,000 worth of luxury vacations paid for by lobbyists in just 6 years?

-You seem to be making a lot of profit off of high gas prices these days, Mr. Sensenbrenner. Will you sell your stocks in BP, Exxon-Mobil and Halliburton so that we know that you are representing us instead of your pocketbook?

-There have been reports that you claim that the people in your district are only giving you positive feedback about your immigration reform legislation that turns nuns, priests and soup kitchen workers into felons. I’m here to tell you that I’m a voter in the district, and I don’t support your mean-spirited legislation! [That's not exactly a question, but what the hell -- Xoff.]

-You claim that small business owners shouldn’t be able to profit off of undocumented workers, but your stock in Halliburton has provided you with a nice profit from their use of illegal immigrants. Will you pledge to sell all of your investments in any companies that profit from illegal immigration?

I'm sure you can think of others. Come early to get a good seat. And invite your friends.
