October 19th, 2009Dick Armey, who was Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives 1995-2003, will be campaigning in upstate New York this month for the Conservative Party nominee for U.S. House, 23rd district, Doug Hoffman. See this story. Thanks to Gene Berkman for the link.
When Congressman Ron Paul was able to obtain a vote on the House floor in 1998 for the bill to outlaw restrictive ballot access laws in federal elections, Congressman Armey was the only member of Congress in a leadership position to vote for it. It was defeated 62-363.
