James Berge of Kensett, Iowa writes to the Globe-Gazette that his representative in Congress, Tom Latham, has chosen to vote for the good of Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay and his state of Texas, rather than for the good of the people he serves in Iowa.

DeLay's Congress passed bills to ship more textile and other jobs overseas with CAFTA, and make us more dependent on foreign oil, while giving big oil and others $14.5 billion in tax breaks. They certainly came through for their big money constituencies.
