Sen. Salazar on OpenRange Radio

He'll be on today during the show. Tune in to KFKA (AM 1310) at 2:00 pm.

Ken's press release says that the Senator will be discussing such hard hitting topics as mortgage relief (the bill has a bunch of stuff in it for folks buying houses, but I'm not sure it helps someone facing foreclosure), the Farm Bill (which is important around here, but also has tons of pork in it), and what it means to him to be patriotic.

Senator, someone (Sam Johnson) once said that "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." I'm not sure that it makes any sense for you to talk about being patriotic when you vote for things like expanded (illegal) powers for the attorney general, when you work hard to get Al Gonzalez installed, or when you (as I expect you will) vote to allow U.S. Telecoms retroactive immunity for their complicity in illegal wiretapping (you can also call this protection for the Bush administration from public discovery in a courtroom).

Son, "your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore.*" It's time for you to do your job and hold the Bush Administration accountable for its actions.
