My story isn't remarkably different from millions of Americans who have tried to work with their elected officials only to find arrogance and detachment.

Well, I say ENOUGH! I'm supporting Jon Golnik for Congress against Niki Tsongas. And not just with my vote. For the first time, I'm going to get involved and do all I can to make it happen.

That’s how Jim Moran D VA (8th) here across the river from D.C. stays in year after year despite being an embarrassment to the House with his borderline corruption, boorish behavior and antisemitic remarks.
