Ah yes, forgot about Duncan.

There are more liberty-loving congresspeople than people might think...

Walter Jones I would say is a maybe, his fiscal record isn't as absolute as I would like but he voted against all bailouts and is one of a few anti-war republicans.

You should edit your post to say party affiliation and state, since I don't know who they all are. Maybe link to Wikipedia article for each too.

Yeah, I was going to mention him. He votes with Dr. Paul about as much as Flake.

According to the Tits N' Ass Freedom Index (http://www.thenewamerican.com/files/TNA_Freedom_Index_110-3.pdf) only Paul, Duncan, and Garrett scored above 80%.

Does it really help the image any to include a guy NAMED "Flake"? :D

Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Congressman John Campbell of California are very principled individuals as well -- particularly when it comes to the economy. Campbell keeps a supply of Atlas Shrugged novels, and distributes them to all his associates. ;)

RLC Liberty Index for 2007: http://www.rlc.org/Files/X2007.pdf
And 2006: http://www.rlc.org/Files/X2006.pdf

In 2006, 4 Congresscritters: Jeff Flake, Ron Paul, Jim Kolbe (ret.), and Dana Rohrabacher were considered libertarian. In 2007, 77 Congresscritters were considered libertarian, which goes to show that Republicans are much more likely to be liberatarian in opposition than when they have power.

Mike Conaway said some good things last week and has introduced legislation twice to prevent the size of government growing.

I live in Scott Garrett's district. He is a breath of fresh air in the death trap that is NJ

Flake is a venerable name in Arizona. Jeff had a relative in politics in Arizona named Jake. That's right: Jake Flake.

There is a town in the Arizona mountains called Snowflake. But it is called Snowflake not because it is in the mountains where it snows, but because the two founders of the town were named Snow and Flake. Another of Jeff's relatives. Hahahaha!

The proximity of AZ to the PRC makes me suspicious of the name. :D
