The main reason is that they felt that the person from the Third Congressional District voted with the Black Caucus, not voted for the people of the Third Congressional District. I had 13 town meetings during the break. I saw over 3,000 people, and we are altogether on our other issues. We all do not support any of the Medicaid cuts; you see, this is what we have in common: We do not support the cuts in education, the cuts to the senior citizens; putting children first with the cuts. If we are supposed to balance the budget, the people from the Third Congressional District feel that women and children should go first. It should not be on the backs of the poor people and the working people in this country.
