Hey there folks-
I’m sitting here in the UNO Nebraska Room with 90 of my fellow College Democrats and students interested in hearing more about Jim Esch. There have been at least 20 people in and out in just the last 10 minutes, I’m estimating around 120 people at least, and we’re not even half-way done.
Jim’s at the microphone telling it like it is and taking answers on everything from the PATRIOT ACT to the Smoking Ban, Iraq, Afghanistan, Public Education. The amazing thing is he’s not pausing to check his notes, he’s not pausing to make sure every little soundbite is perfect, he’s telling it like it is.
Stay tuned as we live-blog the forum, and Check out www.jimesch.org !
12:32 - About Osama Bin Laden, “How can you not find a 6 foot 4 man on dialisis hiding in caves?”
12:42 - Jim easily answers questions about the upcoming Farm Bill, Heath Care, the Working Poor, Big Pharma…
I haven’t been paying much attention to the Congressional races this time around. I’ve been so sick of the politics surounding the Senate race, I’ve been turned off to about everything political.
Until I met Jim Esch today. He really different. I’ve never met a politician who is so open and honest about what he believes. The best part is…what he believes makes sense!
I wasn’t positive of who to vote for before today. After listening to him over the course of an hour and a wide range of issues, I have become an Esch supporter!
