There are some excellent reasons to block these two. They are being looked at by the Obama team with the premise that they can push a particular agenda. Even though the agenda has no basis in fact. Here's a prime example... http://giovanniworld.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/children-force-fed-propaganda/

There's a link to email Menendez in the article. I did, told him to stop playing politics with the EPA, they have enough on their plate.

Menendez is a weak link anyway and should probably be challenged in six years when he runs again. Please write your Senator and make a formal complaint about this bo-zo.

He wants to stall environmental safety because he's still pissed about Castro? What does that tell you about the guy? He's part of the organized crime oligarchy that controlled Cuba before the revolution. Get him out of Jersey and send him back to his homeland. They'll have a nice cell waiting for him.

Bob Mendez is a neo-clintonista, and a closet Bushite. The Dems put him in charhe of the Senatorial comittee to get new members elected but this guy is just another politician who cares not for the people. What has Mendez done to speak out for Cubans? Nothing, he allowed the Bushites to institute new policies on Cuba that worsen Cuban life at home in the island and in America. I am sure he block these people to try to enanct promises from OBAMA, but since Mendez was a Clinton supporter, I would NOT TRUST him. Mendez is in the pockets of the neo-Facist Cuban and Neo-Bushites who want to continue the failed 60 year old policy of emargo and sanctions against Cuba. It is time to SHAME BOB MENDEZ, who side is he really on?! BOB Mendez working in the interest of Huge Lobbyist! BLOCK MENDEZ FOR REELECTION, put the pressure on, I am sure he hasn't paid his taxes either or he had someone build a house for him, follow the money of politicians and you will find their weak spot!
