Geez, we have an embarrassment of riches in Congressional representation imho.

Wyden has been great too, as DeFazio always has been and continues to be.

Amazing what clean elections and relatively clean air will do, in terms of getting

Don't let this heinous, disastrous nomination go through. Block it, even if it requires filibustering. The country can't take what Summers is dishing.
