Failed representative

Dear Editor:The article put out by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard on jobs prompts this letter. ("Congresswoman Calls for Jobs in Latino Community," 8/25/11) A few years ago Kenny Rogers had a hit song with lyrics, "You Picked a Fine Time Lucille." Truly Lucille picked a fine time to demand legislation to create good jobs now (read: government jobs). Where is the money coming from, China? Or are we just printing it? Roybal-Allard's record is supporting every job-killing policy and regulation put into effect almost daily by this administration. She never saw a spending bill she didn't like. She has an F grade by taxpayer groups and a zero on regulation reform by economic growth advocates. I am afraid she is more of a community organizer than a congressional representative. -- Don Johnston, Downey
