Why Rep. John Hall (D-NY) voted against Hinchey-Rohrabacher...liberal fear of federalism

Submitted by David Borden on
Today I called the Washington office of my congressman, John Hall. I have vigorously supported him in the 2006 election against a Bush rubber stamp Sue Kelly. He was seemed to be a progressive democrat (indeed he joined the progressive caucus after entering office). However, he voted against Hinchey-Rohrabacher, refusing the step to stop DEA from raiding the dispensaries.
