Okay, this was a good move --- having the Democratic candidate to replace GOP Congressman/convicted felon Duke Cunningham give the radio address today -- the day after Duke got his 8 year 4month sentence. Francine Busby blasted the GOP on their port issue -- two days after the House GOP leadership blocked a vote on that issue:
House Democrats tried to force a debate and vote on legislation Thursday that would require the 45-day security review and congressional approval of the takeover. That effort failed on a procedural, largely party-line vote.
"Given the record of this administration, 'trust us' is not a safe enough answer for the American people," Busby said, accusing the administration and Republican-led Congress of underfunding ports security and ignoring warnings on Hurricane Katrina.
"At our ports, like our borders, Americans expect and deserve a Congress committed to stopping people who are intent on breaking the law," she said.
