Well our congressman Al Wynn (D-MD 4) has decided to give up his office after losing in the primary election earlier this year so he can go to work for a DC law firm. I cannot begin to describe the utter contempt that I feel for him at this time. With his departure, our district will be without representation in Congress until next year. I am not a legal scholar, but the discussion seems to focus on a special election to fill the seat and that has many in MD opposed due to the cost. I understand and sympathize to a degree, but I wonder how many concerned citizens in a district would also agree to no voice in Congress for that length of time.

I only hope that MD Governor Martin O'Malley has the legal authority to appoint someone to fill the seat during this time. That would negate the need for a special election and solve that issue.


I would hope that somehow Al Wynn would be made to forfeit any salary from the term that he does not fulfill........Goodbye Al and don't let the door hit your fat, bloated ass on the way out!!!!!!!!!
