Back On Wed April 4th,2007 a group consisting of members from Citizen Action, Sacred Heart, S.J. United for Peace and Justice and PDA/DFA Progressive Democracy South Jersey met with Rob Andrews in his Haddon Twp. office concerning his stand on the Iraq War.
During the time we were there , never once did he say he made a mistake, and never once said , he was sorry for the loss of life caused by his mistake.Never during the course of the conversation,did he mention having a withdrawal from Iraq, so claimed by Andrews in this article: http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-10/1209011789280150.xml&coll=1
As usual , Rob was pleasant enough but very guarded with his answers. There were a couple of things he did promise that day:
1. He wouldn't vote for any more funding of the war, unless to remove the troops from
- H R 2206 RECORDED VOTE 24-May-2007 6:45 PM
BILL TITLE: Making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007
Andrews - AYES <<<< that promise didn't last long
2. We requested for him to sign onto H.J.Res 14, legislation calling for the president to seek authorization from Congress for a preemptive strike on
3. Rob agreed to attend a Town Hall Forum for all constituents from the 1st District to attend. That day, Eve Weissman, from Citizen Action, agreed to work with Rob's office to arrange the Forum to be held at
___________________________________
Moving Forward - Then in early November the South Jersey HealthCare for All Coalition contacted Rob's office to arrange a meeting to discuss his stand on Single Payer Health Care during Congress' break November 23 – 28 . The usual run around pursued, no returned calls, no definite date, so we planned a protest in front of his office for December 8 and proceeded to send letters to the local papers why we were going to be protesting. As soon as Rob saw the articles in Haddon Herald and Courier Post, his office was on the phone, setting up an appointment. We met with Rob on December 17. Again lots of promises from him to contact and talk to John Conyers, and if Conyers was able to answer the few questions , he felt needed more clarification, he would sign onto HR676. Currently there are 90 co-sponsors.....but guess what ??? Check it out .....his name is not there.
Now here is another kicker , after numerous attempts by others over the past year, even after Eve Weissman, gave up, Rob still hasn’t had a Town Hall Forum with his own constituents in the 1st District. Yet He Has Scheduled 3 in other Areas ?????????? Do you think he is afraid to face those who really know him and what he stands for ? And he calls on Lautenberg to debate, when he can't even answer a few questions from those who put him in office????
