1. I'm good with that. For all the talk about the so called "Clinton fatigue" no one would have beaten

him in 2000.

2. He introduces this bill every session, and it dies in committee every session

Congressman-for-Life Serrano is one of the good guys. He voted with Cynthia McKinney on immediately withdrawing troops from Iraq, wants to end the Cuban embargo and has no qualms about asking for a little pork for his extremely poor district (he represents the Bronx).

He also extended the 50 State Quarters program to cover the District of Columbia and the five US Territories. I thought that was pretty cool.
