It's News to Me: Hillary's just too busy for us

The signs are in your yard. You wear the 'Hillary '08' buttons. But do you really know her message? She voted in favor of the war we are currently funding. And how can we forget that famous healthcare plan in the mid-90s.

What will she do about the immigration issue? How will she promote Ethanol? How on earth will Hillary Clinton be an advocate for the family farm if she doesn't even understand the issues facing today's farmer?

The answer is simple: she can't.

Hillary Clinton's 'handlers' have told me time and again she will 'eventually' grant me the privilege to interview her. And time and again, that has not happened.

Just last week, her Iowa press contact - former Tom Vilsack-for-President-turned-Hillary-Clinton-supporter Stephanie Bjornson asked me to attend an event Hillary was hosting in Carroll.

With my Saturday commitments in Harrison County, I was unable to attend. I was hopeful that phone call could lead to a phone interview with the 2008 Presidential candidate.

It was not to be. I was told Hillary Clinton is simply too busy with her day job to grant me 10 minutes over the phone.

Much to my amazement, I found out that she certainly could have found 10 minutes for the voters of Harrison County at some point in the last four months.

According to the Washington Post, since July 30 Hillary Clinton has missed 42 votes in the U.S. Congress. That's right. Forty-two votes.

Her job right now is campaigning to be the next President of the United States. It's not serving the people of New York.

Since January, 18 people running for President of our great country have granted me time over the phone - some, like Barack Obama, Tom Tancredo, Joe Biden and Tommy Thompson have even met with me in person.

Sen. Clinton, my number is 712-216-0012. Call any time.

To reach John Beaudoin - even if you are not running for President - e-mail john.beaudoin@woodbinetwiner.com or call 647-2821.

Bravo, Beaudoin!!!
Great going!!! Clearly, Mr. Beaudoin, you have the cojones absent from major media. The junior senator from New York needs to be taken down a few notches and FAST. Should she find the courage to contact you, please address her secrecy issues. Personally, I'm troubled that her archives as First Lady are being kept from the American people. If we can't be trusted with the knowledge of her work as First Lady, how can we trust her with the Presidency???
