Apology
From DelDems…
Dear Jason330
Unfortunately, in our weekly email newsletter issued on August 11th, we indicated Sen. Carper would attend a town hall-type meeting on Monday, August 17th.
There was a miscommunication – Sen. Carper was never scheduled to attend this event. We received inaccurate information from HCAN saying Sen. Carper would be attending this event. Our apologies for the misunderstanding.
Sincerely,
Delaware Democratic Party
Miscommunication. Sure. Or maybe Senator Carper didn’t feel like getting yelled out by a pitchfork bearing bunch of GOP operatives saying that the Manchurian President is out to harvest Grandma’s organs and infect everyone with dead baby juice.
I am amazed you expect Sen Carper to listen let alone act on your behalf on any policy. I think you should get more from your elected officials.

Mike, You should run against him. That’ll show him.
Carper is a weak politican. Its not that he refuses to hold town hall meetings where health care could come out…he has no health care policy. I think Carper is more fearful of people coming out to ask him who he works for? Corporate america or the people of Delaware?
When we called to ask Carpers office where he stood on health care, the Wilmington office had a different answer from his Senatorial office. The Senate office said, “Senator Carper will support the “bi-partisan” bill. Meaning I stand with the corporate blue dogs and the republicans.
That’s what I don’t get about Delaware incumbents. Why are they so fearful of doing the right thing when there is a vanishingly small chance of them ever losing an election? Carper and Castle both have been the most spineless losers I’ve ever seen. I just hope Markell and Denn don’t pick up the incumbent disease.
Schaller says data show Carper voting more liberal this year than Webb, Kohl, Warner, Klobuchar, Rockefeller, Tester, others:
