Thanks once again to the good folks at BlueNC for putting this together. Check the roundup over the flip
Rick Renzi's under indictment, Sue Myrick gets caught with her fingers in the cookie jar - possibly legally, Patrick McHenry has questions surrounding just about everything he does, John Shadegg can't make up his mind. How many more Republicans will get caught up in legal or ethical controversies prior to November? One way to stay on top of this is to follow along with the state blogs. We're discussing our congress critters and their shenanigans long before it hits the national scene. Stop by. Check us out. You too can be the first to know. Here's your roundup for the week:

New Mexico
   Republican Senate candidate Steve Pearce says legalizing same sex marriage will lead to legalized pedophilia. Classy.

Well, George Miller gets many things.  That much can be seen through his stellar 93.52 score on Progressive Punch, but I'm specifically referring to his Internet game.

George Miller has a facebook account, but that's fairly common. Rep. Miller also has a Facebook Group. Ok, that's cooler, but still not unique.  But how many other Congress critters have their own Facebook app? Well, your answer would be 0. Toss in his cool "Ask George" website on the House server, and you have the Congressional leader in internet advocacy.

Rep. Miller gets the importance of the internet and two-way communication.  His Ask George Group specifically asks for questions and comments on issues that concern constituents, and netroots folks.

So, how cool would this be for, say, the governor? Or, wait, maybe George Miller could be our governor!  How sweet would that be.  I might need to start up a draft George Miller for 2010 right now. Summary of links over the flip...
