A new poll says that 58 percent of Arkansans oppose health care legislation now being considered in Congress. “It is unfortunate that both of our U.S. senators chose to listen to their party versus their constituents in the state of Arkansas,” said Bob Porto, chairman of the Tea Party chapter in Pulaski County. “It’s clear where citizens of … Arkansas wish to send a message, but our senators, both senators, are not listening.”

Even after the Scott Brown upheaval in Massachusetts, I still don't believe our Democrat leaders in Arknasas get the message. I received a letter from Blanche yesterday that was full of the same platitudes I've seen in earlier letters, but she did make some noises that seemed to favor tort reform.
