Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or "CREW", just released the names of the 16 members of the house and senate that are under investigation... It should come as no surprise to anyone that 12 of those 16 are Democrats...

That list was interesting until I saw Marsha Blackburn on it then all credibility
was shot to hell.

Marsha Blackburn, while unfortunately is not my rep, is the straightest shooter
to ever arrive at the cess pool called WA. When she was a rep at the state
level she fought the income tax and right down on the sidewalk with us. She
always does what is best for the country according to the law. She fights
for American citizens every time and in every way.

Isnt that novel? Following laws and silly old things like the constitution and
the bill of rights.:talktothehand: Marsha rocks.

The list I presented was factual, not opinion based like the one bairdi posted.

That says everything.

Shes from my state and I have taken note of her and her dedication for
years and years. She deserves no "dishonorable" mention, unless of course
this list was compiled by political enemies because she wont play the game.
