Email just came from my employer - company wide.
My Congressman is going to hold a private townhall meeting here at company HQ just for company employees. My Congressman opposes Obamacare (thank god). All things considered, I'm rather proud of my Congressman and am not aware of anything he has supported or opposed that I would not approve of. I suppose then, that If there's any reason I would go to this townhall, it would be just to thank him for his opposition to Obamacare. Then again, should I be paranoid that the company might be making note of who goes and what they say/ask/do? Trap? No trap? Go? Don't go? What say the hive? _MaH |

Go support him for sticking his neck out for you and representing your views against the Socialist. I know it's difficult in this economy to risk a job and it may not come to that but isn't that what he's doing by opposing Obamacare?

Quoted:
Weren't you going to quit and move out west anyway? Yes, but a long-term plan. It seems like, at earliest, that move would happen roughly two years from now. We looked into it, and the cheapest option for my wife to continue her nursing education is to stick with the community college she's going to right now. Anything out there, to include community colleges, is much more expensive. That's fine, though. In two years the black mark of "Short Sale" will be off my credit, we'll have debt paid off, and a lot in savings, so we'll be able to afford a down payment on a nice home, and qualify for a mortgage again. As for the job, I believe I can convince the client and my employer to allow the job to come with me. Someone else on the team with waaayyyy much more responsibility than me performs his job from his home in Puerto Rico. I did the measurements. Puerto Rico is a whole 100 miles further than where I'd be going 
Still planning to be out there in about a month for a week-long visit, though
