Joe's office slams the door on more constituents

This video shows the shabby treatment that constituents receive at Joe Knollenberg's office.
At least they could have invited us in for a cup of coffee.

Poor Joe Whines about having his faith called into question

Wednesday's edition of the Oakland Press has the article below denouncing MoveOn.org's tactics and the reference made to his Catholic faith. Funny how Republicans call on faith when they talk about abortion and a multitude of other issues, but when called on to look to his faith for direction on a matter of war and justice, they get all steamed.
Our troops have it alot rougher than poor, whiny Joe Knollenberg. Quit your whining Joe and do the right thing and bring our troops home after you look to your faith for guidance. Pray for our troops and that they make it home safely and use your vote to bring them home.

Joe's office slams the door on Sister Barbara Cardinal

Shawn Ciavattone wouldn't even talk to Sister Barbara Cardinal today, whose nephew Billy is serving In Iraq. Joe Knollenberg doesn't care about our troops. He needs to atone for his sins. Joe, you need to go to church this Sunday and ask for forgiveness in the confessional. Watch this video to see how Joe Knollenberg's office treats his constituents, even worse, a woman with a nephew serving in Knollenbush's fiasco in Iraq.

Iraq Summer in Lansing

About 50 Michigan citizens called for all of our Republican representatives to vote to end the war in Iraq. Some of Joe's constituents joined in, asking for Joe to call for an end to the catastrophe in Iraq.

Now Joe is trying to pass himself off as defender of education

It's so sad. Joe is so scared of losing his seat in Congress, he's willing to do and say anything.

Joe Knollenberg is not a defender of education

I feel compelled to write in response to Joe Knollenberg’s recent letter to the editor in the Birmingham Eccentridc regarding his legislation to provide a $5,000 scholarship for high school students that enter college and major in math, science, engineering or health-care related field.

Great idea Joe, but you’re a little late to the party. If I could ever get to meet with you face to face, I’d ask why you’re only now proposing legislation to address the education needs of our children. Just to refresh the voters’ memory, back in 2005, Joe Knollenberg voted to slash funding for primary schools by $784 million. Joe also voted to cut federal student aid by $12.7 billion that would have allowed middle class students to obtain low cost loans. That same legislation increased the interest rate charged on the loans that are still being offered. Now Joe Knollenberg would have us believe he’s on our side. The hypocrisy is overwhelming. When Joe Knollenberg was in the majority and he felt his seat was not at risk, he felt perfectly safe slashing education funds.

Now that he feels his seat in Congress is in jeopardy, Joe feels the need to introduce legislation. I say voters are smarter than you give them credit for, Mr. Knollenberg.

In a recent document that was referenced in Congressional hearings involving the General Services Administration, Mr. Knollenberg is listed as “may not run.” Even though he has announced he is running, it makes one think, maybe the White House knows something we don’t know as Joe’s constituents.
