That's My Congressperson!

DeFazio gets love from The Nation:

The most meaningful vote on the final version of the stimulus measure -- which was approved Friday by both the House and Senate was cast by Oregon Congressman Pete DeFazio.
...

There are few rewards in Congress for being serious about the consequences of legislation -- and fewer still for being right.

But Pete DeFazio is not looking for rewards. Unlike most of the rest of official Washington -- which has yet to get serious about the current crisis -- the congressman from Oregon knows what needs to be done to renew the American economy, and he is serious about doing it.

That's why his vote was the most meaningful one cast last week. And that's why we should all be paying attention to what DeFazio says in the weeks and months to come.

In a Washington where the political class is still largely clueless, Pete DeFazio gets it.
