Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D, CD1) will be holding some town halls in Portland, Hillsboro, and Clatskanie on Feb 17, 18, and 21st.
Also on hand on Feb. 17 will be members of Bonamici’s staff, who can “assist anyone who is experiencing problems with federal agencies, including the VA, Social Security Administration, immigration, and IRS,” the press release noted.
Bonamici is a big fan of the Department of Education and is criticizing the Trump Administration for their efforts to dismantle it, saying it “plays a vital role in the Nation’s system of public education…”. Has she not heard that Oregon is one of the worst ranking states for public education?
She’s also introduced the Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation (SAD) Act to crack down on the use of misleading advertising and disinformation by crisis pregnancy centers. According to Bonamici, crisis pregnancy centers often falsely and deliberately advertise themselves to potential clients as comprehensive reproductive health care providers. Isn’t that what the abortion clinic Planned Parenthood does??
