Does this woman have a mind of her own? \u00a0I think not. \u00a0She sponsored one of the ACA repeal acts. \u00a0That means that Insurance companies could refuse coverage with pre-existing conditions; \u00a0The children would be off their parents&#8217; health care coverage at age 18 instead of 26. \u00a0She has voted against all Laws related to women&#8217;s medical care. \u00a0Need I go on? \u00a0Another puppet of the right wing, Babs votes right along with rest of them so she can obtain the support of the GOP (money) for her next election. \u00a0Frank Wolf, our previous congressman, was her predecessor and her employer. \u00a0He actually considered the positions of his constituents before he voted. \u00a0Not Babs. \u00a0She has no such scruples fearing that she could be &#8220;primaried&#8221; out at some point.<\/p>\n<p>Babs is a good example of why we must elect a Democrat and specifically LuAnn Bennett. \u00a0LuAnn knows the process and she shares our Democratic principles. \u00a0She actually has worked not to supplement the family income but as a single mother. Although John Foust was criticized by inferring that Babs has never had a real job, the fact is, she hasn&#8217;t \u00a0She has worked because she wanted to. \u00a0She has her current position because she latched on the coattails of Wolf. \u00a0 She let her Virginia license to practice law lapse. \u00a0And her so-called business was nothing more than the lobbyist shell organization. \u00a0I just don&#8217;t get how we can accept that she is the best person for the job. \u00a0She&#8217;s not. \u00a0And if someone says, &#8220;She&#8217;s so nice&#8221;, I will remind that person that being nice is not the criteria for being an effective and independent Representative. \u00a0It will be Bye Bye to Babs this summer.<\/p>\n<p>More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So what did you expect&#8230;&#8230;? \u00a0So far I have not met any Trump supporters. \u00a0I suspect I know some but they are not willing to reveal themselves. \u00a0I mean, who would want to be associated with a xenophobic candidate who loves Mussolini quotes, mocks the disabled, debases women and has a questionable relationship with the KKK. \u00a0I understand the supporters who vote for Trump but what&#8217;s most amazing are the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mmpcdc"],"a3_pvc":{"activated":false,"total_views":0,"today_views":0},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=951"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":953,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951\/revisions\/953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
