Honorable Mention for Representatives that Stand up for Our Rights

Just a thread to get some names out there. These folks deserve our support. You may not agree with all the issues they promote, but in terms of defending our1st and 4th amendment rights (among others) I wish these guys were in the news every day!

Ron Paul
Justin Amash
Alan Grayson
Ron Wyden
Rush Holt

Please feel free to add to the list names of reps that support freedom, privacy and protection from govt intrusion into states rights!

Ron Paul's not in congress anymore.

Definitely add Rep. Gosar:

Paul Gosar: The attorney general is a criminal

He spells out specifically what the A.G. has done with zero criminal charges...

Brilliant

Really anyone who voted 'Yes' to defund the NSA prism data collecting program.

Thanks but he still gets an honorable mention in my book.

Good point. Maybe a seperate list for those who have been battling the odds for years is in order. That will have to be a different thread...

Anyone else? There are probably others that have been supressed. These folks are making headlines...

Ron Paul
Justin Amash
Alan Grayson
Ron Wyden
Rush Holt
Paul Gosar

Honestly there are a handful of Representatives that make headlines but they are the ones that want the glory. There are a large bunch that aren't interviewed (because the MSM has deemed them non-worthy) who vote according to their constituency or to the Constitution that never receive mention.

Good idea though to highlight the unknowns against the tide of the "knowns".

Understood. I found some more. These uys are among the top 30 (in terms of donation amounts from Defense contractor) that voted. Of those 30, they are the only ones that voted YES:

Jim Moran D VA-8 $152,500 Yes
Joe Courtney D CT-2 $130,500 Yes
Gerry Connolly D VA-11 $122,000 Yes
Jack Kingston R GA-1 $109,500 Yes
Addison Wilson R SC-2 $100,100 Yes
