Rep. Mike Ferguson: I Failed At My Job

A little over a year ago we got nailed by the unnamed Nor-Easter, and Bound Brook, South Bound Brook and Manville got nailed again.  Ferguson was still Congressman.

When Ferguson got the job, his district flooded.  When Ferguson walks away, it'll still flooding.

And this is what he says:

"We're working with the senators,"' Ferguson said about the state's two senators, Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez.

Back when he was Tom DeLay's favorite congressman, taking in more than a quarter million from DeLay, his PACs and his cronies, Ferguson couldn't get crap for his district.  Back when the President was coming to town to party over the spectre of the destruction of Social Security, Ferguson got nada.  Back when Republicans could do anything they wanted with boogey-man threats, Ferguson got nothing.

Now that the Democrats control Congress suddenly last year we got more than ever before, and he's "working" with our Democratic Senators to get $10 million, $20 million for the project.

The difference is not Ferguson, it's the party in charge.

Think about that when you vote in November, all my friends in the 7th district.  Leonard Lance may be a nice guy with some environmental votes in his pocket, but he's still a Republican and they don't give a damn if your town drowns.

It's the Democrats who are there for you, and the ones who will help.
