Tammy Baldwin: US Representative for WI in the Madison area
"In the coming year, I have no higher priorities than bringing our troops home from Iraq and holding the Administration accountable for its actions, domestically and abroad. In my committees and others, we will continue investigating the use or misuse of more than 1,000 presidential signing statements indicating that the Administration will simply ignore U.S. law, the manipulation of intelligence data which led us into the war in Iraq and threatens to do the same in Iran, the contempt for Congress and the law shown by senior members of the Administration, and broad allegations of abuse of power. These investigations ensure that Congress fulfills its duty to serve as a check and balance to the other branches of government. "
-From her year in review newsletter on her website: (http://www.tammybaldwin.house.gov)

She's free to her opinion on bringing the troops home, but I was surprised to see the rest of it. It's hard to even get a decent laugh out of this because it's a US representative that said it, which just makes it sad.
