Before working on this blog, I contacted Rep. John Larson and told his caller that the cretins that stormed the Capitol yesterday should be punished to the FULLEST extent of the law. I hope you will do the same. Please contact house.gov and follow the instructions to find out who your Representative is. Thanks.
