Put up, or shut up. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jd-iaYLO1A> (And yes, it was uploaded = by my Congressman, Van Hollen.) <http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/10/14/as-democ= rats-seethe-over-gop-tactics-video-over-rules-change-goes-viral/?tid=pm= _ pop> -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WSFA] **VERY** IMPORTANT!!! **MUST** WATCH!!!
