If AMB's first weekly edition of The Buerkle Bulletin is any indication, she seriously needs a proofreader.
Blueskygirl respectfully suggests that sloppiness does not inspire confidence. She thinks Annie can continue to succeed in attracting people who do not aspire to writing well without simultaneously dumbing down the English language.

This past week, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on which the Congresswoman sits, debated the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results Act (“SOAR”). SOAR, which is sponsored by House Speaker John Boehner, encourages Washington, DC families to choose the schools that are the best fit for their children through a school voucher system. Congresswoman Buerkle, who is among the original SOAR co-sponsors, voted with the majority to advance the bill out of Committee for consideration by the full House of Representatives.
Highlights from the Week:
From attending frequent committee hearings on Oversight and Government Reform, Foreign Affairs and Veterans' Affairs, to meeting with constituents from
NY-25, and voting on new legislation, Congresswoman Buerkle has been busy representing her district in Washington.
On Wednesday the Congresswoman addressed a large crowd from the National Federation of Republican Women, and then gathered with colleagues in a Joint Meeting of Congress for an address by The Honorable Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia.
Closing the week, Ann Marie chaired the first hearing of the Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health.
