this guy is so cool!
 

Damnit! Foo!

It genuniely scares me that someone in his position could be that ignorant and blind.
Im really afraid for America.

let's take his kidneys.

What is wrong with using a bike? What an idiot!
Oh, and why wouldn't it be a solution?

Because he is a disgusting fat body.
Id bet my nuts he drives a 10mpg Ford of some sort.

Use this page to send him a happy little message. A nice pat on the fat back to tell him he's doing such a great cock sucking job.

The moron has it posted on his web page. He is proud of himself for being stupid.

The fact that he holds public office is pretty blatant evidence of the failure of a democratic republic.

i agree. that was stupider than open mic night at a comedy club, only i'd expect it there.

28150 is a 10th District Zip Code.

I sent my nasty letter.

lol What a moron!

Im impressed- he read the bill. A lot of bills get voted on or against without being read.

He didn't read the minimum wage bill apparently. Congresspersons don't read bills in most cases. There interns and advisers do, then they report the highlights to the congressperson.

I'm a hardcore conservative Republican and don't agree at all with this Congresscritter.

Good. Because you'd probably get banned from this site if you did.

No-one read the patriot act. Everyone was bullied into voting without knowing what was in it.

I love the part where it shows the antique tandem tricycle. Certainly, that must be the common conception of the bicycle...how could that possibly solve the energy crisis? How jovial! Silly democrats.

I think he's got a point actually - 1 mil a year to promote bicycle use won't do jack **** for our energy situation. It's just pretending to give a ****. The money could be used better in planning more effective mass transit options thus making driving less attractive, or sponsoring promising new technologies. Modernizing our ancient nuclear power plants and building new ones. If this is part of some well funded mass education campaign for alternative transportation that would be different. Instead it's tossing a pittance in the general direction of the issue.

Hell, just using the money to subsidize public transport would have a much greater effect. For example - I work in Mountain View, but live in San Francisco. I could either drive to work (45 min each way), or take the Caltrain/bike (1 - 1.5 h each way). Not only is there a time penalty it's actually more expensive for me to take the train. If it was free, that would go a long way in making the train far more appealing.

That said I'm going back to the caltrain because I can use the extra time for my side venture. When I used to have someone waiting for me at home time was #1 priority, but since my long term relationship fell apart a few months ago that's not such a big deal anymore. For anyone who has a family speed of public transport is something to consider as well. Caltrain is sloooooow.

And you think a million bucks is gonna do anything in the areas you listed? Build a new nuclear power plant? You have got to be kidding, right?

Funny how they had a 100 page document written in days.

Watching that made me physically angry. Thanks for ruining my day. I am going to go ride my bike.

Maybe we should show up at his house some night with torches and pitchforks. Shove a crank arm up his dickhole. You know...just for kicks.

Or move to Belgium and ride bicycles there. F*** yes to Belguim

Full Metal Jacket ftw. :)

I don't think that guy is very cool.

Im in.

i too was super angered, but i can't ride my bike so i'm going to ice my ankle.

Thanks lvleph for the zip tip. Sent:

Dear Congressman McHenry,

I was disappointed hear your remarks about the Democratic plan to promote the use of the bicycle for transportation. I commute to work by bicycle several days per week; a 16 mile round trip and find it very enjoyable. I would like to point out several advantages of bicycling:

1. Exercise- Given the current obesity epidemic in the US promoting exercise will pay off with reduced health care costs.
2. Traffic congestion- Bicycles take up much less room. In fact, during rush hour my commute is faster by bicycle.
3. Air pollution- Obviously no emissions compared to a car
4. Oil consumption- Again, obvious. Foreign oil revenues support terrorism and reducing oil use will help to cut funding to our enemies.

Bicycling is a win/win situation for our country. In fact I have often seen photos of President Bush enjoying a bike ride. Thank you,

Michael Housley
Baltimore, MD

ps. I am not a resident of your district but feel that not accepting email from outside residents is irresponsible.

I just sent him a letter too:


Dear Fat, Bloated Congressman,

Ride a bike is right, *******!

Yours Truly,

Kemmer.

PS. Die in a fire.
