My congressvarmint is Pete Olson.  He’s as worthless as a four card flush.  He’s ugly.  He’s mean.  And he’s stupid.

I live just a couple of miles outside the district of Congressman Al Green.  I flat love him.  He is smart, kind, and lives his faith.  He is my congressman because I say so.

He got arrested last night.  It’s not the first time.

Rep. Al Green, D-Houston, was one of eight lawmakers arrested by U.S. Capitol police on Tuesday in a symbolic act of civil disobedience and a protest to House Republicans who have blocked a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

Green has been a vocal supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, which would provide a path to citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country illegally.

I completely understand that it was a symbolic gesture.  I get that.  But, it meant something to me – that my congressman believes in a better America with compassion and goodness.

I love Al Green.

That’s all.  I just wanted you to know that.
