Rep Dave Riechert(WA) Take Ice Bucket Challenge But Votes Against ALS Funding

As a congressman...hypocrite..

On Monday, Congressman Dave Reichert (R, 8th District) took the Ice Bucket Challenge, the summer's hottest amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-related internet trend.

For both of you who've avoided reading about this trend yet, I think it goes like this: Someone challenges you to dump a bucket of ice on your head and videotape it. Then you do it and you don't have to donate money to the ALS Association to help find a cure for the neurodegeneritive disease commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. But if you don't do it, then you do have to donate to charity? Or maybe you dump the bucket and donate to charity? Whatever the fuck, it appears to be working. This morning, the ALS Association announced that it has received $41.8 million in donations since July 29

1. I seem to recall a very good progressive candidate ran against him.

Too bad she lost.

2. Darcy Burner

Likely he will retain his seat once again unless the district see's he is hurting them.

3. The local paper says

all incumbents are doing well. I voted against him but this is still republican country. A lot of white hairs with disturbing bumper stickers.

4. I used to get to vote against him...

but I live in Susan DelBene's district now.
