Punch in your address or zip code

Click on your Rep (and senators) and take a look at the scale on the bills they have sponsored/co-sponsored. 

Here is mine guy, Peter Roskam:

Not exactly the most conservative, but he seems to get a lot done.   Oh, and that furthermost left red dot in the mostly blue area.... John Boehner.  :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

My rep (Grothman) is too new to assess much. He was da frickin bomb in the WI Senate- he took every opportunity to rhetorically slap down liberals. He's TEA to the extreme and doesn't seem to care about making friends. Originally he was voted into the WI Senate when we recalled the Senate majority leader in my district because she wasn't conservative enough, and she was pretty conservative.lol.
I'm a bit disappointed in him because of his vote on the TTP.

It brings up the wrong district.

Which is refreshing, seeing as my Congrescritter scores low on every metric - but especially bringing pork to the Commonwealth.  Puts him about on par with the two D Senators.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Sobering. I knew that my congresscritter and both senators were liberals, but one of the senators is so far left he's almost off the chart.

My congressman, Mo Brooks, is over at the last vertical line on the right for conservatism. He's about halfway up for bills sponsored, which I take as a positive. The fewer laws passed, the better.

Gerry Connolly, a relatively ineffectual leader (a bit better than average), and pretty hard lefty lib.

Nice guy, though, I've known him for years, but the epitome of the greasy, slicky boy politician, which I've told him in no uncertain terms several times....
