	Decision ‘08 » Blog Archive » Blogger Conference Call: Congressmen Jack Kingston and John Kline
		Two Republican congressmen who just returned from Iraq, Jack Kingston (who has his own blog here) of Georgia, and John Kline of Minnesota, spoke to us today (thanks as always to Patrick Ruffini of the RNC for setting this up).
		The congressmen said that he is very thankful for blogs and other alternative outlets and that he was constantly dealing with frustration among members of the Armed Services who feel that the bad news was overwhelmingly stressed.
		Both congressmen answered that affirmatively, and Rep. Kingston mentioned that forces recently increased by 30,000 to 160,000 troops in anticipation of attempts to disrupt the elections.

		The end to the prosecution of the seditionist and Nazi collaborators came with the death of Judge Eicher on Nov 30, 1944 in the midst of the sedition trial.

		The appointment of committee members is formally made by the whole House, but the choice of members is actually made by the political parties.
		Generally, each party honors the preferences of individual congressmen and congresswomen, giving priority on the basis of seniority.

	OPERATION DEAD SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN AND THE VOTE
		In fact, Senators and Congressmen are not protected as well as the President and Vice-President, who are protected by the Secret Service and by special security teams.
		Senators and Congressmen should be better protected than the shadow government down in the bunkers, waiting to replace them.
		Maybe if some of these Senators and Congressmen live through their campaigns and win and continue live to vote on Capitol Hill, they’ll vote for security for themselves equal to Dick Cheney’s.

	The Populist Party - If Teachers Were Congressmen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Such an arrangement enables congressmen to better understand the rather complicated nature of the various issues set before them.
		But to allow congressmen to be "paid off" by lobbyists makes no sense at all.
		However, I seriously doubt if congress will ever get to the point of passing a law that prohibits the transfer of cash from lobbyists to congressmen, since such legislation would make it rather difficult for congressmen to pay the expenses for their occasional sabbaticals to St. Andrews as well as other places around the world....
