He's my congressman as well. He was interviewed last night on the local news. When asked if he would vote for a clean bill he said he couldn't answer the question because one hadn't been presented yet. Huh? Then he said he was just trying to be pragmatic. So disappointed in this guy. Sent him an angry email.
