I played the reality card this time. We’re going through suicide watch as I write for a young Iraq vet, such an awesome young man. I told Larsen’s office that if he supports the troops as his website states then it would be a sin to vote yes for 100 billion to euro banks and 4 billion to cash for clunkers when there’s no one taking care of our soldiers and their families.<br /> Vote no, separate the issues and make this bill about the TROOPS.<br /> His staffer agreed. She said, ” We need to take care of our own.”.<br /> Wish Larsen had her wisdom.</p> I just called Rick Larsen’s offices again. I played the reality card this time.

His staffer agreed. She said, ” We need to take care of our own.”.
Wish Larsen had her wisdom.
