Letters to the Editor
Where, oh where, is Mr. Dave Obey?:

As most congressional representatives are in their districts listening to their constituents during the August recess, Mr. Obey seems to be missing in action.
When we e-mailed his office asking for his schedule, we were simply ignored. The last time he was in the area (Shell Lake) for a "meet your representatives" session, he refused to take questions, citing a busy schedule.

Seems with important hot button issues like health care reform and cap and trade pending, one would think Mr. Obey would want to know what the people in his district are thinking. Does Mr. Obey simply not care what we think? What is he afraid of?

Appears Mr. Obey has been in Washington, D.C., far too long and has forgotten he is actually supposed to represent the seventh district. It is time for this out-of-control spending spree to come to a stop.

It is time for Mr. Obey to retire or be fired.
