frankrichards:
Please read the AJC article again. You are misrepresenting what was reported, and what was reported is not even the whole truth.

everyone:
I recommend that anyone interested on this run a Google News search for "glenn richardson dot vote" and get all the information. In particular, read the AJC article cited by frankrichards. The truth is that Rep. Martin Scott stood up to the Speaker and did not give in to pressure by him, even on a subject so dear to him as the Human Life Amendment. It would be easy to cow down to the Speaker under such great pressure, or to give in to temptation and sell a vote to get what he wants, but instead, Rep. Scott stood on principle and voted his conscience and the will of his constituency. He should be commended for such, not attacked with half-truths and mischaracterizations.
