"Queens Congressman Gregory Meeks ducks D.C. bailout talks to hit Vegas"

"Maybe U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks should change the name of his fund-raising committee from Build America to Travel America.

A Daily News investigation found the Queens Democrat often uses his political action committee to spend thousands of dollars on cross-country jaunts, including multiple trips to Las Vegas, and tickets to the Super Bowl.

Incredibly, he even skipped the Dec. 5 congressional hearing on the auto industry bailout and jetted off to Las Vegas for a weekend at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Strip."

I wonder if there are ANY elected officials of any party not taking advantage of us ???

easily 80% are in it strictly for themselves or their lobbyists, then the party.
We the people do not make page one of their priorities.
Except for election time and for reasons I have given up trying to figure....why we the people keep re-electing these dishonest individuals.
They do what they do because ....based on experience they fear no retribution from those they are supposed to represent.

It will not change until we the people take action...unfortunately that is not likely in our recent and current permissive society.
