Joe "liar" Wilson was not the only congressional representative not being decorous last night.

 Check out Louie "birther" Gohmert at 1:37 in the video:

Unlike Joe "liar" Wilson, Gohmert is not yet opposed in the race for his seat as the representative for the first congressional district of Texas.  ActBlue has established a fund for the candidate who steps up to run against him, so if you want to forgo a latte and make a statement with that five bucks instead, there is a place to contribute.

Gohmer does not accept email except from constituents, but his "education" staffer is probably not screened.

Here is the info about Joe "liar" Wilson's opponent, Rob Miller, from last night.  Miller has picked up about 60k from ActBlue donations since the speech.  Those five, ten and twenty dollar contributions add up:

Rob Miller is opposing Joe "liar" Wilson - Toss him a buck!

Heckling is all well and good in the House of Commons, but not cricket (yet) in the US Congress.

If Joe Wilson's "liar" outburst pissed you off, do something real about it.

Contribute now to Rob Miller

From his ActBlue page:

Rob Miller left the Marine Corps in 2008 to offer South Carolina fresh ideas and innovative solutions. His message was heard loud and clear: Joe Wilson got the race of his life. Rob got over 46% of the vote, with very little funds, and now he's running for Congress in 2010--and needs your help!

It is time that South Carolina had new leadership in Washington that will cross party lines to serve the people of the 2nd Congressional District. It is time for a leader who will fight for our veterans, build our economy, and improve our education system.

Together we can insure that Rob’s message of new leadership is heard throughout the district. We can begin the process of changing South Carolina and ushering in a new generation of leadership.

From Politico:

Wilson apologizes -- ASAP

Joe Wilson (R-SC) has issued an apology for heckling President Obama, about an hour after the speech -- a clear sign the GOP realizes just how damaging his performance was.

His statement:

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”

And if those two clowns were not enough, here is this from the Washington Post:

The Republican Response, Arriving a Little Early

By Dana Milbank
Thursday, September 10, 2009

When he asserted that "nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have," there was scoffing and outright laughter on the GOP side. Rep. Jeb Hensarling (Tex.) shook his head in disbelief. Several Republicans shouted "What plan?" and Rep. Louis Gohmert (Tex.) waved at Obama a handwritten poster he made on a letter-size piece of paper: "WHAT PLAN?" Gohmert then took that down and replaced it with another handmade poster that said "WHAT BILL?"

The irony was that Obama had used his speech to offer a significant concession to Republicans and to break with liberals in his own party. There was a cool silence in the chamber as the president told "my progressive friends" that the "public option" they treasure as part of health-care reform could be sacrificed in favor of other ideas.

But while the majority of both parties' lawmakers behaved as adults, the insolence by House Republicans stole the show. There was derisive laughter on that side of the chamber when Obama noted that "there remain some significant details to be ironed out." They applauded as he spoke of "all the misinformation that's been spread over the past few months." They laughed again when he said that "many Americans have grown nervous about reform."

When Obama addressed the charge that he plans "panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens," someone on the GOP side shouted out "shame!" The president went on: "Such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical." "Read the bill!" someone shouted back. Obama mentioned those who accuse him of a government takeover of health care. "It's true," someone shouted back.

The antics continued when Obama urged opponents to "come to me with a serious set of proposals." About 20 Republican members raised copies of the GOP health-reform proposal over their heads. They raised their props again when Obama criticized those who think "it's better politics to kill this plan than improve it."

 Remember:

• Single Payer (Medicare for all) HR 676 which has 93 sponsors is the solution, not massive profits for insurance companies due to mandatory buy ins as proposed by the so called public option. 

• We need heathcare access, not access to insurance. 
  

• Health insurance should go the way of the buggy whip. 
  

• Read the text of HR 676 which is more than what most Congressional Reps do before voting on bills.
