A more elaborate article on Representative Mark Meadows’ refusal to be intimidated by Congressional demotions appears in the Hendersonville Times-News. Meadows voted against the convoluted bill granting the president broader trade negotiating powers because he was set on representing the wishes of the folks back home. The article has too many good sound bites about doing the right thing to post in this tiny blog, and so reading it is highly recommended for a refreshing breath of fresh integrity – while, sadly, reinforcing some of your suspicions about the power structure.
