Tatterdemalion Florida 7th Congressional District U.S. Congressman John Mica Requries Scrutiny


Enabling the likes of St. Augustine City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS, tatterdemalion Congressman John Mica's story is the story of our times -- greedy corporations destroying our country and smirking at the rubes who fight our wars and vote them into office. See the outstanding 1998 investigatie article from ORLANDO WEEKLY, below, for a taste of the tawdry career of Rep. John Mica. He's our Congressman (at the moment). He's up for re-election next year. Further below, see his feeble explanation of why he supports offshore oildrilling off Florida's coast (the only Florida Congressman to take such an absurd position (his daughter and brothers are lobbyists) and why he spent your money to fly to Tibet (to sell airplanes). Flummery and dupery, or just right-wing Republican business-as-usual. You decide.
