The Fredericksburg Democratic Committee just passed a unanimous resolution asking that not only Keith Hummel withdraw as a candidate for Congress in the 1st District, but Suzette Matthews step down as 1st District Committee Chair as well.

He’s also benefiting, financially, from the housing mortgage crisis. And he’s invested tens of thousands of dollars in pornographic movies, including Truck Stop Women and another […]
