Virginia Rep. Wolf Draws Democratic Challenger
Democrat Patrick Lewis, a lawyer and businessman, has initiated a 2010 U.S. House campaign to challenge long-entrenched Virginia Republican Rep. Frank R. Wolf.

Lewis will try to make the case that it is time for a change. But he has picked a tough target in Wolf, the 15-term incumbent from the state's 10th District and a politically dominant figure for three decades in the northern Virginia suburbs and exurbs of Washington, D.C.

"Now more than ever, northern Virginia needs real leadership to tackle the problems facing our community and our country," Lewis said in a press release that announced his formation of an "exploratory" committee, a move that is usually a precursor to a formal campaign

He said that he looked forward "to putting my experience of military service, job creation, and business management to work for the people of northern Virginia."

9. Yes, the same one that on the floor of the house said health care reform
Would put seniors to death. And no one asked for her resignation, did they?

Rep. Foxx Says Health Care Reform Will Cause Seniors To Be "Put To Death By Their Government"
July 28, 2009 2:07 pm ET

On July 28, 2009, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) stated on the floor of the House that the Republicans' health care reform legislation, unlike that of the Democrats, would not put seniors "to death." Besides being a reprehensible accusation, her words are blatantly false.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hea-4VJZXRE

Rep. Foxx: The Republican plan would "make sure we bring down the cost of health care for all Americans and that ensures affordable access for all Americans and is pro-life because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government."
