I'll have to google it I guess and see who it was.

It was Green and Sherman. Apparently the more filed the better from other articles.

All these juicy announcements are misleading. I hate it when Republicans use deceptive misinformation to dupe people and exploit their raw emotions to enhance their own fame and fortunes.

Democrats should not be running similar scams. This is just another fundraising ploy, an opportunity for a photo op to let the good folks back home see that their representatives are working hard. Or hardly working because they have no power to do much of anything as long as the Republicans hold the majority.
