A silver lining? Yes, with Rob Wittman

A silver lining? Yes, with Rob Wittman

America is in a time of foreboding, we are told. Global warming is catastrophic, the economy is in a nose dive, our president should be tried for everything, and only more taxation will fix our troubles.

Last summer, the nation's 1st District had a dark cloud hanging over it, and, try as we might, we could see no silver lining.

But by the middle of December, we had found and elected Rob Wittman to fill our vacant congressional seat. Now, after a close check of his voting record and legislative efforts, we can definitely see the silver lining to last year's ominous cloud.

The silver lining doesn't lessen the darkness of the cloud and the hurt it presented, but it does give us hope for the future.

Recently, Rep. Wittman was here talking about energy, and he's got it right ["Wittman: Congress 'must get it done'," July 5].

We need to drill and build. Now what we need is a couple hundred more politicians just like him to get this situation turned around.

The nation's 1st District is in good hands. We are indeed very fortunate to have Rob Whitman working for us in Congress.

Rob Wittman - for the people (posted by ProudAFWife , July 22, 2008 11:35 am)    0 likes
I recently had to contact Mr. Wittman's office for a particular situation my parent's were facing. His office contacted me quickly, and a meeting was arranged. He has been such a help to my parents, and I thank his diligence in helping the everyday people such as ourselves in getting situations resolved. Rob Wittman has our vote.
