Went to the Houston Memorial Day presentation at the National Veterans Cemetery. Plenty of people and vets. Speaches were good,,,, EXCEPT! for 2 congressmen,, ONE was Shelia Jackson Lee. In her speach she began to talk about how proper health care act needs to be passed,, and the bill that she wrote and pushed so that all vets arrving from overseas will be met and given a ride home, at all airports. NOW I agree that these are good things,, but to push your personal agenda on a day like this?!?!?!
 
Thanks to Ted Poe, and a few other Congressmen/Senators, who knew the meaning of the day, and did not try to push a poliitcal issue, on a day such as Memorial Day.
 
Many people in the crowd were not happy. 4951

SJL is a camera/publicity *****!  She has flunkies that monitor the obituaries in Houston.  If the dead person will draw a big funeral crowd, SJL will ask the family if she can attend AND say a few words.  Of course, those few words are mostly about herself and her agenda. 4951

Who was the 2nd speaker who tarnished the ceremony?SJL is the biggest joke of Texas. There are a few jokes in Congress from the other states, but we have the most flamboyant. 4951

SJL was the same way at the Lone Star College graduation ceremony I went to.  Her agenda for even being there was to push the bond election (which failed).  It was really sad.  Only a few people applauded her at all.  She was late being on stage, disrupting those on stage by whispering to them and she left as soon as her speech was over.  Rude.....very rude! 4951
