Republican congressman Tom Cole from Oklahoma supported the Sandy Relief Bill

The tornado hit his district. Here is what he said:

"There's clearly a federal responsibility to act," said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.). "We have a national interest in getting this region on its feet as quickly as possible."

Coincidentally, 3 out of 5 republican congresspeople from Oklahoma supported Sandy Relief.

We may disagree with Cole on every other issue, but I think we should all be able to get behind him on getting aid to the people of his district.
