CT Reps Vote – Jun 27, 2005

Hey yea CT’s rep Rosa DeLauro kicks ass with her vote on the flag desecration bill. Yea that’s it girl! Keep on rockin on! She and 129 others understand that it is our RIGHT to express ourselves how we see fit.

I would never (in my current state of mind) consider burning our red, white, and blue but others just might. They’re not evil. They’re not bad people. They’re just expressing themselves. Argh. Come on lucky 7… I mean Senate! Vote this sucker down, down, down.
