First openly Atheist U.S. Congressman...

...and I live in his district!

Not sure if this is the right section for this, but...

Apparently this was news back in 2007, but I just happened to notice it today while perusing my congressman's wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Stark

I am also happy to say I voted for him in the last election.

While I don't agree with some of his stances nor do I like his tendency to verbally attack people, he's positively moderate compared to most of the people who run for office around here!

The Politics & Law section didn't seem a better place?

I thought that at first, but since it's not really about his political stances, it seems to fit better here. I dunno.
