District 13 Bay Area loves him and they deserve him. He's been in the House for 30 years!!!
By the way, Fortney was one of the "dirty dozen" in the Congress who voted against the Boy Scouts of America. Until he drops dead, there's no way to get him out of there, though.
JC should have kicked his ass, right then and there on the House floor.
I'd have paid a lot of money to see that.
I was a senior at Castro Valley HS in 1972, when Pete ran for office. His major claim to fame was that he put a peace symbol on his bank. He was a condescending a$$hole 30 years ago.
I remember when he came to talk to my senior civics class. I remember that we blistered his hide, because we were all voting for an Indian by the name of Nordstrom.
I nailed my "A" in civics by working in the McGovern campaign, and I was dumb enough to vote for that weasel.
Hopefully, I've made up for it over the past 20 years!
