And wonder of wonders, my Representative Steve Southerland is co-sponsoring it.
And he's a Republican, voting for the DHS to take away our security and our rights.

My friends in a Montana Tea Party sent this to me tonight. I hope you will make a call or send an email or fax. DHS has too much power already, and was created to take our rights away as you well know.

I’m not sure that Denny Rehberg knows the full impact of the bill he is co-sponsoring. However, if he is aware and co-sponsoring on purpose then he should be held accountable.
