We are in NY-22, traditionally a purple district. We usually elect reps who are main-stream, whether Republican or Democrat. However, on a 3-way split vote, we elected ruby red Claudia Tenney. She boasts that she was a Trumper before there was a Trump. She was one of the few women in the infamous Rose Garden photo, celebrating having denied healthcare to 10% of her own constituents. In the past few days she has been on national TV blaming the Dems for the violence in Virginia. Like Trump, she seems to have very real difficulty with truth and reality: she has conveniently forgotten that it was Trump who laced his campaign rhetoric and his rallies with violence.
Our Indivisible group would like to put up a billboard in Binghamton. The wording has not yet been decided. I am in favor of REPEAL AND REPLACE TENNEY. Other possible ideas are something about the fact that she has adamantly refused to hold any town halls.
Our district is one of the so-called swing districts that will be important in 2018. If you are fortunate enough to live in a blue district, please consider adopting ours, beginning with this billboard effort. A few dollars from a lot of people will make it happen. Thanks!
