<p>I am reminded of how Kermit the frog would sing his song these days:</p>

<p>It's not easy being grey . . . .</p>

<p>(Bill - I just spit out my coffee over that one! I'm pretty sure New Jersey invented the grey frog -- somewhere near the Turnpike) Thanks!</p>

<p>I know nothing about multiple nominations, or trading nom's, but I can tell you if there's a MOC branded as "anti-military," it's our rep. She was the sole House vote against the Patriot Act. </p>

<p>She nominated my son last year -- he got NAPS -- and she nominated him again this year.</p>

<p>"She was the sole House vote against the Patriot Act." </p>

<p>171 Congresspersons (House of Rep) voted against the renewal of the Patriot Act.</p>

<p>66 Congresspersons voted against the original Bill passed in 2001 (10 of the no votes came from California Reps).</p>

<p>I don't think she was the sole vote against the Patriot Act--probably political disinformation that starts getting accepted as "fact"---a lot of it being thrown around by both party's, one must be careful these days.</p>

<p>You're right, Shogun, and I knew that. Not sure what I was thinking. Maybe just 'cause she caught so much flack for it.</p>

<p>Voting againt the Patriot Act means you are anti-military?</p>

<p>The average American has no appreciation for how much their civil liberties [does * anybody * remember the Constitution these days?], in ways large and small, have been eroded these past few years.</p>
