Here’s a reply from Raúl Grijalva to Kirk Adams. Adams sent a snippy letter to Grijalva after Grijalva asked for a public comment period before the federal government allows Arizona to cut people from Medicaid. Money quote:
He accuses me of grandstanding. If sticking up for your constituents when their lives are at stake is a publicity stunt, then I don’t know what Mr. Adams will do the next time his constituents need help. Sit silently and applaud while their health care is taken away for the sake of a corporate bailout? Congratulate Gov. Brewer on a good day’s work?
His full reply can be found at Daily Kos.
By the way, Adams’s letter makes reference to this move being done to balance the budget. The house under his leadership has yet to balance a budget and passed a corporate tax cut that blew a hole in state revenue to the tune of $538 million.

I love the quote! And you know this one was done personally by the Congressman himself. Wonderfully Raul. Nice work, sir.
