MICHIGAN
Smith, Y; Upton, Y.

I expected that crap from Upton, who is being primaried by Dale Shugars, a conservative. However, I expected better from Nick Smith who is usually one of the better ones.

Also, Vern Ehlers voted against the final bill which is good, but he slapped the 2nd amendment in the face with his ASD(anti self-defense) vote on the Pickering amendment, so he has dishonorable mention.

Also, Pro-2a Democrat Jim Barcia broke with his party and voted right on the final bill, and also Pickering. He is facing Liberal Rat Dale Kildee in a primary. Anyone that lives in the Flint, Saginaw, Bay City area should vote for Barcia in the primary.
