[olug] Jim Esch for congress?

[Brandon Petersen]

A little political campaigning, or what?

Guess I'm curious, then. Useless, exactly how so? Any specific reason beyond
some evangelical Christian saying so?

Lee Terry voted 'Yes' on the Online Freedom of Speech Act, which was to
provide journalistic protections to bloggers. It didn't pass though.

Any particular reason why a replacement would need to be a moderate or
conservative "Democrat"? That wouldn't have helped much in the case of the
Online Freedom of Speech Act.
