The bottom line: I think both ends of the political spectrum should continue supporting and protesting the legislation in Washington so we can have an honest debate with the citizens deciding, not the bums in Washington.
In the past, it was every 2 years when the citizens made the decisions, but the TEA Party movement has changed that. Now every tea party or town hall could have repercussions come Election Time and/or when our Congressmen do vote on bills!
Let me be clear where I stand on this whole issue: I do not approve in any way, shape, or form of the criminal acts of Jim Traficant.
Having looked past that, I respect what he did for our area, although he may have given the Valley a bad image. He should be commended for standing up for what he believed in and standing up to his own party on a number of occasions,
During this time of such partisan politics, a politician like Jim Traficant is one man with the record of being bi-partisan and working across the aisle to get things done. He could do a great deal on the health care debate in my eyes.
That is what I like most about Traficant. I understand the bad image issue and his criminal acts in which many continue to bring up here, I just believe he did more good than bad for our area, and he did a great deal of good in Washington DC working across party lines.
Traficant was a true Maverick and did what he felt was best for our nation, it is just a damn shame he had to associate with some corrupt individuals.

Ryan in the crosshairs of pro-life groups
On Tim Ryan's facebook.com page, he claims he is a moderate. Haha give me a break!
The non-partisan website, OnTheIssues, puts Ryan in the heart of the left-liberal end of the political spectrum.
FYI: The same website had Jim Traficant as a moderate conservative.

The only way to change Tim Ryan's mind about this is by pressuring him nonstop.

Very sad this occurred, but we'll let the voters decide when he gets elected and takes down Charlie Wilson!
