Matt Sitton wrote to U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young about his concerns regarding improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan. Last month, he was killed by one.
A letter from a Largo soldier who was killed in action in Afghanistan helped change a Congressman's position on the war, TBO.com reports. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matt Sitton wrote to U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young, who attended the same Largo church, regarding his concerns about his men being forced to walk through fields full of improvised explosive devices, according to TBO. Sitton, 26, was killed by an IED last month. Since then, Young has reversed his position on Afghanistan — in part, he says, because of Sitton's letter. As TBO reports: In a position opposite that held by most leaders of his party, the influential Republican is now calling for U.S. troops to leave the country ahead of the 2014 deadline called for by President Barack Obama. …

Last week when Pepe Kovanis pressed Congressman Bill Young about minimum wage, Young told him to "get a job". Now Kovanis is asking for an apology from Rep. Young.
At the entrance of what will soon be a new Sam's Club on 34th Street Pepe Kovanis stood among supporters and the press asking for an apology from Congressman C.W. "Bill" Young. "I would like an apology for not only myself but for low wage workers around the country," Kovanis told Patch. "I think he has insulted them with his remarks to ‘get a job’. I think that he has failed his responsibilities as a representative. He is suppose to listen to his constituents not belittle them." Last week, Kovanis was protesting for the increase of minimum wage. He pressed Young about minimum wage in Florida and was promptly told to "get a job" by Rep. Young. The video of the exchange went viral, which led to Young saying he did not understand the nature …
