Can anyone verify any of this information |

Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 11:07 AM by FromTheLeft
I got this email and I want to know how much of it is true, but I don't know where to start...
36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits. and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

2. It may have been true at the time it was written but considering it's been |
|
circulating for many years now, I'd say it's a bit dated.

10. Even if it is dated, considering the prevelance of re-electing |
|
incumbants, it probably still holds true.
