Woodall Represents DC to You, Not You to DC

By
If you live in Georgia’s 7th US Congressional District, regrettably, you are not represented in the DC House of Congress. Instead, the DC House of Congress is represented to you. And DC’s representative to the 7th District is Rob Woodall. Now Rob is the world’s nicest, most engaging guy. I really like Rob, personally. He would make a great neighbor. But I have learned; he does not represent me. He represents Washington to me, and to you. There is a difference.

For the last five years, I worked hard to help DC Representative Woodall understand various matters, which I determined by his actions and votes at the time, he simply must not have understood. I gave DC Representative Woodall the benefit of the doubt. I met with Rob Woodall personally numerous times. I went to town hall meetings, Tea Party meetings, Local GOP meetings. I met with his chief of staff, went to lunch. I called the DC office. I wrote extensive emails to his chief, which I am told Rob received. I backed everything I ever told DC Representative Woodall with facts and references that anyone has access to and which are not hard to understand. And do you know that nothing, and I mean nothing that I ever communicated to DC Representative Woodall, or to his chief of staff, or spoke to his office, or wrote in an email, ever made any difference in DC Representative Woodall’s official actions, his votes, his rhetoric, his attitudes, or his behavior. It’s like all my time communicating with the individual who was supposed to represent me to our DC government was completely wasted.

Money? What's Money?
And the funny thing is that when you tell Rob Woodall something that he does not want to deal with, he does this thing like he can’t understand what you are saying. Trying to explain something to DC Representative Woodall, when he does not want to hear it, is like trying to explain to your customer why he owes you money when your customer does not want to know. Your customer figures that if he can just get through the conversation, in the end he might be able to keep your money. That’s what it is like to deal with DC Representative Woodall.


When I heard DC Representative Woodall speaking in favor of handing Obama Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), I immediately contacted his office to set up an appointment to discuss what TPA, and subsequently TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) really were. Obviously, DC Representative Woodall must not have understood or something.
Constitution for Corporate World Government

Friends, I went so far as to put together a PowerPoint presentation to try to explain this, which really isn’t rocket science to begin with. I took off a day of work just to travel to Lawrenceville to meet with Rob’s “chief obstacle,” uh…I mean chief of staff. I laid it out for him exactly what the TPP agreement Obama was trying to push through
congress really was. I explained it such that a 10-year-old could understand. And what did I get in the end except, “Sorry, I just don’t buy it.” That was it. Chief Obstacle asked no questions, asked for no sources, or how I knew all that I knew about this very important subject. Obviously, I had been talking to a customer that did not want to know why he owed me money. Rob’s Chief Obstacle was not interested in what I had to say. He indulged me for an hour. He simply wanted to get through the allotted time for my visit, dismiss anything I told him, and get me out the door. Obviously as well, the DC House of Congress had decided to hand Obama the authority that would put destroying America to an up or down vote. That is what TPP would have done. Thankfully, President Trump tore the agreement to pieces as one of his first actions.

But voting against giving any additional authority to Obama should have been a no brainer. Did DC Representative Woodall not notice that the president at the time was systematically destroying our country? Did DC Representative Woodall not notice that the same president to whom he would hand this dangerous authority had just taken over 1/5 of the US economy with socialized healthcare? Did DC Representative Woodall not notice that this same president had hired America’s arch enemies, Al Qaeda, ostensibly the same bunch responsible for the 9/11 attack, and wasted our tax dollars overthrowing a Libyan Government that posed no threat to America? I mean what should a concerned citizen like myself do to get his government representative to understand such simple, blatantly obvious sets of facts?

Oh, and we haven’t even spoken yet about DC Representative Woodall voting to take your tax dollars to fund the training and weaponizing of ISIS, twice, or voting to give Obama the necessary authority to sign the infamous Iraq Nuclear Agreement, or voting to allow the US Government to use US Tax dollars to propagandize the American people for un-American purposes, or voting twice to pre-authorize the US Government to bailout Wall Street banks, yet again, when the next financial crisis occurs. No, we haven’t even touched on any of that, and more.

Obviously, the DC Representative to Georgia’s 7th District, one of the nicest guys in all of congress, has an agenda that does not include representing the interests of those in his district, but only includes representing the interests of DC to us.  Just keep that in mind on May 22 when you vote in the primaries.

In last week’s article entitled, “It’s Payback Time,” I recalled growing up in “Camelot” prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  Afterward, even from my 8-year-old perspective, the world changed, for the worse.  People I knew changed for the worse.  The trajectory of world events changed for the worse.  As America mourned, the outlook for peace in the world retreated, practically abandoned. As his fate approached, JFK decided to pull US advisors out of Vietnam, sent there by Eisenhower.  Doing so would have prevented an eventual military involvement that would leave 58,000 Americans dead, their names carved in consolation on a wall in DC, countless US casualties, American families irrevocably broken, not to mention millions of enemy victims. Five months prior to his assassination, JFK ordered the US Treasury Department to begin abandoning the policy of borrowing Federal Reserve currency to pay the bills of the US government. On June 4th 1963, Kennedy exercise

South Forsyth Story-Please, Not Again

I remember back in the day, when as a young builder it was about impossible to find a decent building lot in south Forsyth County.  Now that would have been the mid-late 1980’s or so.  Practically all that existed were large tracts of land, pastures and forests, hardly even a gas station.  As you drove 141 north out of Fulton County, long before it became Peachtree Parkway, I mean, you were out in the country.  I remember scouting around for a lot even before Aberdeen, long before Laurel Springs was imagined. I would drive curbless county roads where a few homes did exist, looking for ‘lot for sale’ signs.  Even though at the time there wasn’t much of a market for new homes in south Forsyth, I just figured that if other occupied homes sold, whatever I might build would eventually sell too.  Marketing genius, here. I recall the many times driving down two-lane Mathis Airport Road, leaf-laden hardwood bows overhanging the entire way.  In those days, even on a sunny day, in some places

It’s Payback Time

When did you first become aware of the larger world beyond your home, immediate family, your friends, your school, maybe trips to the grocery store with mom?  For me, it was during the days many referred as, “Camelot.” Now I vaguely remember the election of 1960.  My dad voted for Nixon, mom for Kennedy.  I remember them saying they cancelled each other’s vote.  That would not happen today, not without hair pulling, a divorce or worse, but I digress.  So, I remember Camelot in America, the presidency of John F. Kennedy, who together with First Lady Jackie, children Caroline and John Jr., or “John John,” presented an image of style and grace, humor and humility, the ideal American family, at least it appeared. At our school I remember JFK’s picture hanging next to the American flag.  Each day before instruction, we would stand, place our hands over our hearts and recite the Pledge, followed by the Lord’s Prayer.  Then we would sing patriotic songs conveying a sense of what America was,
