Yes! I know most people suffer from the "my congressman is the only non-corrupt one"-syndrome, but I actually can say that and not be bullshitting. He's done a great job representing Grand Rapids and Michigan.



My congressman is Diane Feinstein. I am under no such delusion.


Feinstein is your Senator, along with Barbara Boxer.

Your congressperson is one of the people on this list: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/CA


Is Diane Feinstein not my congressman? Isn't the Senate part of Congress? Aren't Senators Congressmen too?


Apologies for the parataxis.

I was just clarifying because when you said 'my', I assumed you were referring to the precinct. Senators are Congresspeople, and if you'd said "Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer" I'd have probably read it differently.


Both of which are self-serving opportunistic scumbags.

Edit: ha, whomever downvoted me is clearly not familiar with these people.

Look at Bechtel and how that company fits in here. See Anonymous' release today on the $700,000 in bribes one of these folks took...

Do t downvoted a comment if you have no clue to what it is referring to.


Wow. Read up on him a little, and am duly impressed... even though we don't agree on many policies, if he were in my district I'd vote for him anyway because he seems like he has principles and sticks to them. At this point what those principles are hardly matters because the rest of Congress has so little integrity.


Then you should consider donating to his campaign. He's mentioned having funding troubles and a competitor:
