Senator Voinovich is an Embarassment to Ohio!
Yesterday, I was fortunate to be able to listen to a radio interview of Senator George Voinovich on the Sean Hannity program. The interview started off cordially, but it was soon obvious where the discussion was headed.
Hannity first asked if Voinovich supported the "Fairness Doctrine". For those not familiar with this proposal, it essentially amounts to censorship of conservative talk radio (See the following link for additional information - Why the Fairness Doctrine is Anything But Fair). The Senator's response was - sure I support it. we should all be fair. Once Hannity explained what the proposal was, the Senator quickly did an about-face.
The discussion then turned to today's vote on cloture for debate on the Senate's proposed Immigration (Amnesty) bill. Hannity asked a few tough questions and after Senator Voinovich admitted that he had not read the bill or even all of the executive briefs and that the Senate had not done an economic impact study on the effects that the proposed legislation would have on our economy, social services, education or health care systems (for answers to these questions, see the following link - The Real Costs of Amnesty) - the Senator couldn't get off the phone quick enough.
Senator Voinovich ended the interview by hanging up on Sean Hannity because he couldn't answer the tough questions!
I've sent a request to the Sean Hannity radio program asking that they post the audio from this interview on their web site. If they do, I will place a direct link here.
Meanwhile, if you would like to contact Senator Voinovich to express your opinion on the debate - you can reach him using the following links.
* Voinovich office locations
* Voinovich e-mail
note: I'd suggest using the e-mail contact form since the phones in ALL OF HIS OFFICES HAVE BEEN BUSY ALL DAY!

A word on email... I sent him an email using the web form and haven't heard a thing. Nasty Brutish and Short has been waiting a month to hear back from Voinovich.
Reader's Digest version: This is one "public servant" who isn't in to "constituent services" and doesn't want to know what We the Little People have to say...
