When You've Only Got One Rep - Make it Count

I feel an empathy for folks in Montana. Aside from having enjoyed every visit I've made to that great state in my life, I feel for their representation in congress. As a DC resident, I get one rep, and she doesn't even get to vote. At least Montana's lone representative gets to vote. But what a record, ack Dennis Rehberg has. Hopefully folks will limit the damange Rehberg can do and kick him out.
  • Voted NO on allowing human embryonic stem cell research. (May 2005)
  • Voted YES on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)
  • Voted YES on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research. (Feb 2003)
  • Voted YES on funding for health providers who don't provide abortion info. (Sep 2002)
  • Voted YES on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad. (May 2001)
  • Voted YES on making the PATRIOT Act permanent. (Dec 2005)
  • Voted YES on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)
  • Voted YES on protecting the Pledge of Allegiance. (Sep 2004)
  • Voted YES on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration. (Jun 2003)
  • Supports anti-flag desecration amendment. (Mar 2001)
  • Voted YES on passage of the Bush Administration national energy policy. (Jun 2004)
  • Voted YES on implementing Bush-Cheney national energy policy. (Nov 2003)
  • Voted YES on deauthorizing "critical habitat" for endangered species. (Sep 2005)
  • Voted YES on speeding up approval of forest thinning projects. (Nov 2003)
  • Voted YES on limited prescription drug benefit for Medicare recipients. (Nov 2003)
  • Voted YES on continuing intelligence gathering without civil oversight. (Apr 2006)
  • Voted YES on emergency $78B for war in Iraq & Afghanistan. (Apr 2003)
  • Voted YES on declaring Iraq part of War on Terror with no exit date. (Jun 2006)
I look forward to seeing Monica Lindeen around town here in DC in the coming year. Because at some point, we've got to say no to the damage Rehberg and his buddies have been doing.
