"The final straw? I wonder if there is anyone from my hometown willing to mount a challenge to Congresswoman Bean in a Democratic Primary. I think it's safe to say the online money she received in 2004 isn't funding she can count on in 2006 (From the National Journal).
Separately, freshman Rep. Melissa Bean, D-Ill., late Friday became the sixth Democrat to publicly embrace CAFTA.
I just called her office and will have more later as they are sending me information on why she had decided to support a bill so deeply flawed"

So let's see, she voted for the bankruptcy bill, repeal of the estate tax, renewal of the patriot act and now CAFTA. Remind me again why she's a Democrat? What's the point of having a Democrat in a seat when they vote Republican on just about every issue. Bean is a disgrace. And what makes it worse is that she sought, and got, our money in '04.
