Kay Hagan won her Senate seat on the coattails of the Obama wave in North Carolina. Here is yet another example of her disrespect for her constituents:
Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me regarding Solyndra. I greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts on this important issue.
Solyndra was a solar panel manufacturer founded in 2005. In September 2011, two years after receiving a $535 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, the company filed for bankruptcy. The Treasury Department is currently investigating the loan guarantee approved for the Solyndra project, as is the Department of Energy’s inspector general.
Like you, I believe we must carefully monitor how taxpayer dollars are spent. This is particularly important at a time when the annual federal budget deficit exceeds $1 trillion. While I share your concerns about the loan guarantee awarded to Solyndra, I do not believe this incident is necessarily indicative of the entire Loan Guarantee Program, which has helped many important energy projects move forward in these difficult economic times. Projects that have benefited from the Loan Guarantee Program include nuclear power plants, biofuels, and smart grid technologies.
As this matter is further investigated, I will be sure to keep your thoughts and concerns in mind.
Again, thank you for contacting my office. It is truly an honor to represent North Carolina in the United States Senate, and I hope you will not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
This program is so corrupt that even the Democrats are supporting the broader investigation:
Energy and Commerce Democrats Urge Committee to Broaden Loan Guarantee Investigation
Oct 26, 2011
Today Rep. Henry A. Waxman, Rep. Diana DeGette, and Rep. Edward J. Markey sent a letter to Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns requesting that the Committee broaden the investigation into the loan guarantee program to include loans to nuclear companies and the communications company Open Range.
The full text of the letter is below and also available online here.
If North Carolina had a recall amendment for our legislators, do you think that Kay Hagan would behave this way? Do you think that Gov. Perdue would have suggested cancelling Congressional elections in 2012?

funny thing, she cannot even be bothered to personally address her email response…and she is sadly mistaken calling me her friend! Walter Jones and Richard Burr put so much more effort in personal communication. Kay Hagan is just like Obama and needs to go!! When you email her, you automatically get signed up for ALL her mailings like look at me!! aren’t I good? NOT!!! You cannot even reply with a person’s name!!! But I got hers and NOT voting for her!!
