Til death do us part.
Isn't that kind of like marrying a porcupine?!
I read about it recently, when doing some research on him. Only 3 states allow it.

I also went to his congressional webpage to get more information about him, because his Wikipedia page wasn't that detailed. It may or may not get added to. I suspect he will control what's on it. For example, it mentioned 4 kids but didn't mention names, but they're named on his congressional page, which also gave more info on his wife. I wanted to find out more about him. Since then I've seen several articles about him on line.

The Democrats need to publicize the beliefs of this fanatic. More commercials like those RepubQcan Congresman Ohio commercials.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
