    If you can strip away Niki Tsongas' lockstep voting record with Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it's easier to rationalize her bid to be returned to Washington as our Fifth Congressional District representative. She's held dozens of Town Hall meetings and "Congress on Your Corner" get-togethers, and brought home $29.6 million in federal aid for transportation, education, health care and defense-related projects.

    Dear Nikki Tsongas: I attended your Town Hall Meeting at Hudson High School last evening. I just want to say that I found it disgraceful that I was not allowed to bring my handbag into the event. I volunteered to have it searched, just to keep it with me (I mean, my money’s in there, my credit cards, my personal identification documents, etc.), but my request was declined.
