As a Texan, Im Ashamed of Congressman Joe Barton

Mr. Barton,

You’re ashamed of BP suffering through a meeting with the President and having to honor their promise to pay “all legitimate claims?”

As a homegrown Texan, I’m ashamed of your apology to BP. What could have made you do this? Are you running short of campaign funds? Did BP meet with you while they were in town to call in one of your IOUs?

Your late, forced apology was phony and pathetic.

Any politician who puts corporations before their constituency, deserves to be fired.

I’m not eligible to vote against you, but I will send money to your opponent.
