Know Your Congressman and Senators (Entry 7 of 21)




This Democratic congressman from the 3rd district of Virginia is known for opposing both capital punishment and the Patriot Act.

He grew up in Newport News, and he was the first African-American member of Congress from Virginia since reconstruction.

Right wing wonks from "The Free Republic" have also criticized him for opposing a Christmas resolution in Congress. With such whining, it's easy to see why the donkeys are in control now. (Hope this pleases my friend Cenk Uygur, a progressive talk show host who used to be an elephant!).

Is this member of The Hill:

A. Jim Moran

B. Brad Miller

C. Bobby Scott

D. Tom Davis

The answer to last week's quiz is one of my favorite people in Washington, DC_ Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind).
