Over People: New Poll Shows Bishop
Out of Touch With First
District
October 14,
2006- A new
poll released in the Deseret Morning
News today shows that Representative Rob
Bishop is not listening to his
constituents. The poll stated that 45 percent
of Bishops constituents think
that the speaker should resign, while Bishop
continues with his party message
of support for Hastert.
Steve
Olsen made
this statement:
“I
think it’s tragic that the people of
Utah's First district are forgotten in
Washington.
Rob doesn't even try to follow the
dictates of the people he’s supposed
to serve, he would rather let Speaker Hastert
make those decisions for
him. Rob’s record
speaks for itself: he
has voted 97 percent of the time with Speaker
Hastert, and continues his blind
support in spite of the feelings of his
constituents. In light of content and
severity of information coming out of the
investigation, Rob needs to change
direction, or get out of the way of
justice.
“I have a different
idea of how things should work in Government: I
am an
independent western democrat who knows that
government is about the people of
Utah and not party
over values. People over
politics.”
