Serving Democracy requires the electorate to be adequately informed about the reprsentatives that serve their districts. Nothing could be more important then the electorate knowing "who it is" they are electing. This person is their sole voice in expressing their views to a national institution. Hank Johnson, United States House of Representatives member representing Decatur GA, barely made headlines other than a few talk show jokes, when addressing a United States Naval Admiral with his concerns of Guam "tipping over" due to a couple thousand service men and women being re-stationed there. What the local media did do was cover for his unbelievable stupidity in saying his comments were a joke. You make the judgement for yourself. There is no joke here, just utter incompetence. How is he sitting in a position of power?
