Congressman Billy Long Explains Why He Hasn't Campaigned

Congressman Billy Long explained in the Community Free Press why he hasn't been out on the campaign trail and in touch with the residents of Southwest Missouri. Long said he is too busy doing the work of the people to campaign.

The question is do you want Billy Long doing the work of the people.

Long's decision to not to actively campaign for reelection may have more to do with his record (his work for the people) than anything else. Long probably doesn't want to have to answer questions and be held accountable for his votes in Congress.

Long's work of the people includes:

• Enslaving Americans with another $2.4 trillion in debt with his debt ceiling increase vote
• Carelessly spending your tax dollars on things like frivolous law suits and NASCAR sponsorship
• Growing government by pushing more power for the Department of Homeland Security like HR617 which sold off frequencies used by Ham radio operators for an emergency broadband frequency connected to the Internet kill switch
  
  
  
• Billy Long voted to give Obama the power to indefinitely detain Americans without due process--not just once but twice
• Billy Long voted to make it illegal to protest on federal property with Obama and certain government officials are present

And we could go on and on. The point is you probably want Billy Long on the campaign trail facing questions about his voting record rather than his continuing to do the work of the people considering his work "for the people" hardly seems representative of "we the people".
