I JUST called Congressman Mike Ferguson's Washington DC office. He is the NJ 7th district representative. I asked the receptionist if he supports one wife one husband for life, and if adultery should carry strict criminal penalties when practiced between heterosexuals. The poor guy was pretty flustered, put me on hold, and then came back to inform me that the "person who handles that" ( I kid you not) isn't in today.
This is serious stuff folks, click on the link below for how you can deal with these scumbags. The lives of our friends are at stake here.
