Check Up: The "New" Old Guy

I have decided to change the representative that I am following from John Lewis to Pete Stark. He is a representative for the state of California, a Democrat ( though many may say social Dem.), and he works for the House. A little background, he has had his Congressional seat since 1973, he is the only open atheistic Congressmen, and he represents the 13th District of CA.

  • Update: As of today Stark had just introduced a new bill in front of the House, called the Save Our Climate Act, the bill includes a proposal to put a carbon tax (yeah!) on companies to cut back the use of fossil fuels. The carbon tax will steadily rise hoping to exterminate the use of fossil fuels and the huge carbon output of humans. The introduction statement to the bill can be found here.
Pete Stark
Pete Stark has become my favorite politician, if that is possible. He is an out spoken liberal who isn't afraid to get to the point, or to use fowl language.
