A Mackenzie Postcard

I don't relish repeatedly taking Ryan Mackenzie to task, because come mid-terms, I'm hoping that he is my candidate of choice.

His spokesman was quoted in the Morning Call on Sunday saying, "He (Mackenzie) has been an independent voice in a broken Washington, D.C., who has always and will always stand up for the Lehigh Valley.”  I'm a candidate for hearing aids, but if Mackenzie has been an independent voice or standing up in Washington, I may have issues with my other senses as well.

While the Morning Call may have chosen to print this election postcard patter as given by his office, but as a local blogger I must remind the congressman that Lower Macungie, with a Republican majority, voted for Democratic commissioners for the first time since forever. It won't be enough to say you stand up, but you must actually do it.

I'm not here to be polite or popular
