While certain Democrats have returned approximately $558,000 in dirty money received from "Crooked Charlie" Rangel, others have joined with Republicans calling for Charlie's resignation.

Congressman Rick Larsen has, so far, done nothing.

Rick hasn't returned a single dime and remains predictably mute on the subject. At this point, Larsen is standing behind his pal Rangel, refusing to condemn his wildly unethical behavior.

Here's what liberal columnist Richard Cohen had to say about Rangel back in September of 2009:

"He (Rangel) suffers from the degenerative disease called Congressional Sclerosis. Its symptom is the belief that the rules, especially the petty ones, no longer apply to you. This happens over time. It comes with seniority and a sense of victimization that combine to produce the onset of entitlement for goodies to which, in the course of things, you are not entitled."

Rick Larsen, on the Rangel issue and so many others, continues to prove himself to be anything but a leader, having rubber stamped the Pelosi/Obama agenda and earning a well deserved 0% rating from the American Conservative Union.

Have you had enough yet?

Rick is holding onto Rangel's $24,000 tightly and remains silent on the subject. How can we trust him to stand up to corrupt lobbyists and Wall Street con artists when he refuses to hold his own friends like Rangel accountable?  Larsen pretends to be a hardworking and honest politician "standing up for families." In truth, he has fast become a poster boy for all that is wrong with the U.S.Congress.

The man is simply out of touch!  My friends, isn't it high time "We the People" handed Larsen his pink slip and sent him to an early retirement? Help me return honesty and credibility to the U.S. House of Representatives.

I can beat Rick Larsen on November 2 but I can't do it without your help! We are continuing our fundraising drive by asking 1000 American patriots to give $24 to counter the $24,000 of dirty money Larsen received from his pal "Crooked Charlie" Rangel.

Let's take our country back! It starts with removing Rick Larsen from Congress, along with Pelosi and Rangel. Help get the country back on the right track.
