Adam Smith questioned by seajane

Jane Johnson, our former county Dem treasurer down in Thurston County, blogs up Rep. Adam Smith's town hall meeting last week:

When he opened the floor to questions he got MANY questions regarding why we're not impeaching Bush. You could tell he'd gotten these questions many times before. He gave unsatisfying answers about bitterly divide the Country, need 67 Senate votes, not up to his standards of impeachment, blah, blah, blah.

I didn't challenge him because I was saving my question to talk about toxic food imports. He agreed that FDA needs to be strengthened and promised they would discuss it at next weeks Trade Policy Caucus meeting. We thanked him for his "yea" votes on the McGovern and Schiff amendments.

He took many great questions about our returning vets and promised to look into the use of the nursing home at American Lake, consider a traumatic brain injury trauma center at Madigan, increase case workers at the VA and change their mission to be advocates for the vets, and got other information about our vets. (He's GREAT on these issues!)

why he is only giving lip service to the ethics complaint against Doc Hastings. CREW filed the complaint after the disclosure of Hastings' phone call to John McKay, inquiring about the status of the bogus voter fraud claims, but someone in the House needs to refer it in order for anything to go further. Smith went on KUOW to say there needs to be an investigation. Apparently, he's not brave enough himself to file the referral to certify that investigation takes place.
