That wasn’t the only time the congressman’s libertarian streak disappeared. Otter also voted for the 2005 House bill intervening in the Terri Schiavo case, overruling Florida courts to keep a brain-damaged woman on life support. He has voted for all the Republican iterations of immigration reform, even when they criminalized Good Samaritans who aid illegals. (“We need to get the border under control,” Otter says, “and then we can decide what to do about the people who are already here.”) He has voted for several versions of campaign finance limits.

I would be quick to take it too, and anyone who chased a grim Spectre into the corner must have highly likable qualities!
Go, Mr. Sheldon, tear down that wall of hype, and help us build a real one. Thank you for your support of Terri.

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. - A Lancaster County consulting firm quietly is coordinating the building of fencing on private land as part of a project to seal the U.S.-Mexican border.
Diener Consultants, with offices at 1725 Oregon Pike, is advising the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a group with a national membership that aims to reduce illegal immigration.
"Diener is the driving force behind our political consulting, our message of how to respond to the president's inaction (on the immigration issue)," says Chris Simcox, president of the Minutemen.

Sheldon helped raise money for Pat Toomey in his 2004 GOP primary challenge of U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.
Sheldon is perhaps best known for his lobbying efforts on behalf of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman championed by the pro-life movement.
When the MCDC decided the federal government was not doing enough to stop illegal immigration and proposed the fence project in the spring of 2006, Sheldon and Kunz agreed to help with that project, too.
