Senator Risch of Idaho and I
By Susan Steffen-Kraft
Now Senator Risch and I have a disagreement about the TPP. He is for it and I am against it. I have called several times with same results. So today, May 24, 2016 I took a tough stance with him. No nice guy attitude on this issue anymore. I left the message "are you crazy for supporting such evil?" I called Senators Schatz and Sherrod and thanked them for being against it (and informed Senator Risch that I thanked them). To say that he is Republican and they are Democrats, well, obviously there is a difference. I don't agree with Sherrod on most anything political but I care not what party you are in; if you support the TPP you are in trouble with me. If you are against it I will thank you.
Sherrod and Schatz both e-mail me and this is how I knew they were against it. "Thus, Mr. Risch, I expect you to stand against this and as for your free trade belief, I don't care if you order something from another country, but that is not the sorta free trade we speak of. By the way, since when do you get off supporting this President on anything?"
"I appreciate a lot of things we agree on and have thanked you many times but this....., really!! Would you like me to post info. on your website; actually I did. By the way, the John Birch Society does not agree with you either. And my friend Beau, her brothers Dale and Monty plus Tom do not agree with it either. You know all of them."
You can imagine Beau's reaction when I informed her I had name dropped. "What, they will haul me away to FEMA camp! So now I am the spokesman for the group here in Idaho and the JBS!" My reply was that I needed him to know I was not the only one in Idaho that felt that way. I also sorta offered to have me, her and Tom be a team to educate Mr. Risch at maybe a town hall meeting. "You did what? I am no good fast thinking like that on my feet!" I said in this little girl voice, "I'm sorry but...." She was kinda laughing but wondering what Risch might say or do next.
Senators Sherrod and Schatz were, I am quite sure were thrilled to know that they and the JBS agreed on something. Ha Ha! As for Tom's reaction when he finds out I volunteered his name; hmmmm! So we shall see how Mr. Risch reacts to my article and the names I volunteered. LOL
