Free Rick Larsen is a new website by anti-war activists in Bellingham. These are serious citizens whom Rick has dissed and ignored. One has even been banned from his office for the rest of her life. They have questions for Rick and they want answers. He is their representative - but he seems afraid of them. They are probably voting for Rick for re-election. I know one is. Why? Because we need him in Congress to give the Democratic Party control of the House of Representatives and slow down if not stop the aggression of the US. Free Rick refers to trying to learn who he is beholden to with his supportive votes for the Bush program. And his reluctance to explain his votes.
