On November 7th, Democrat Nancy Boyda was elected to represent the 2nd District in Kansas. Last Thursday she appeared on TV with two other newly elected Democrats Heath Shuler (former Tennessee Volunteer and Washington Redskins quarterback) from North Carolina and Patrick Murphy from Pennsylvania. They were answering questions from Charles Gibson regarding the Illegal War Monger-in-Chief's proposed troop surge in Iraq.

While Shuler and Murphy spoke like they at have at least some semblance of a clue, Boyda's comments revealed one of two possibilities: She is either hopelessly ignorant about our Constitution and its defining role in our government, or she is actually a loyal neocon foot soldier who simply pretended to be a Democrat just to get elected and now figures she can insult her constituents with impunity.

Whatever the reason, this woman has no business representing her local Girl Scout troop, much less Kansas' Second District in Congress. If I lived there, I would be demanding that she be recalled immediately.

Here is the exchange:

Gibson: Would you vote in favor of money to support another 20,000 to 40,000 troops in Iraq?

Boyda: I think we're going to vote to support what the commander in chief and head of military asks to do. At least, I am certainly going to vote to support it.

Gibson: If he wants the surge, he'll get it.

Boyda: Yes.... He is the commander in chief, Charlie. We don't get that choice. Congress doesn't make that decision.

Gibson: But the polls would indicate, and indeed, so many voters when they came out of the ballot box, said, "We're voting because we want something done about the war and we want the troops home."

Boyda: They should have thought about that before they voted for President Bush not once, but twice.

Here is the video.

Here are her phone numbers:
D.C. Office: (202) 225-6601
Topeka, KS Office: (785) 234-8111
Pittsburg, KS Office: (620) 231-3011.

Here is her D.C. mailing address:
Representative Nancy Boyda
1711 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515

When I first got wind of this yesterday (Sunday 1/7/07) and tried to leave her a message in DC, the voice mail box was full, there was no answer at either of her local offices, and I could not locate an email address or form to contact her. So I wrote the following letter, which went out with today's mail:

Representative Boyda:
