Loose Cannon
It's not just us. Other people are noticing that Congressman Chris Cannon is a nut.Ohio citizen Erika Rice appeared at a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law on a bill to ban the use of forced arbitration in car sales. When Rice testified to getting stuck with a lemon because of an arbitration clause in her contract, she little suspected the springs would pop out of Cannon's head.
San Francisco-based Mother Jones blogs at length on Cannon's "incoherent digression that included talk of combating socialism and communism, and his youthful interest in the famous French philosophy tome, The Social Contract."
After he finished his socialism lecture, Cannon told Rice that perhaps it was just time to “go on with [her] life” and forget about fighting the car dealer. Just pay for the car and move on, he counseled, because “the alternative is to say that the government take care of it.” Cannon recommended that rather than petition Congress, Rice ought to simply tell all of her friends what a “creep” the car dealer was so they won’t shop there. “Creepy people do creepy things,” Cannon declared.Mother Jones' Stephanie Mencimer encourages Utahns to look for a new congressman. She points out Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has labeled Cannon "as one of the most corrupt members of Congress."
Utah District 3 voters will recognize the lecture that shocked Rice as good ol' Cannon diatribe No.34.

“Creepy people do creepy things,” Cannon declared. At which everyone in Utah stood up and shouted "AMEN!"
Vote for David Leavitt!
Vote Quimby!
The guy surely loves the sound of his seven-dollar vocab. Too bad it never makes any sense; and what's going on with Rob Bishop? He's starting to look more like Cannon all the time. Maybe they both should go work for the D-news. Who was it that said "time for a change?"
Read your contract before signing, people. Cannon is right on this one.
To who said Cannon was "right" on this one...
If you would have taken the time to research and read my actual testimony, you would have seen that I was not given the opportunity to read my contracts or paperwork...
google it.
Erika Rice, Ohio
