Awww poor thing!
Leading a revolt against President Barack Obama’s healthcare legislation over abortion has been a “living hell” for Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.).You know, I'm semi sympathetic- no one should be calling their home, threatening them or any of the rude stuff that I'm sure they get, but can you really tell me that what is happening to Bart is worse than what can happen to millions of women if his heavy handed anti-choice language goes thru? Read Natasha's story and tell me which is worse.
The telephone lines in his Washington and district offices have been “jammed” and he’s gotten more than 1,500 faxes and countless e-mails — most of which he says don’t come from his constituents.
The fight has taken a toll on his wife, who has disconnected the phone in their home to avoid harassment.
“All the phones are unplugged at our house — tired of the obscene calls and threats. She won’t watch TV,” Stupak said during an hourlong interview with The Hill in his Rayburn office. “People saying they’re going to spit on you and all this. That’s just not fun.”
