I must admit to being somewhat puzzled by a recent television commercial chastising Montana Congressman Dennis Rehberg for voting for a measure of some sort that ostensibly increased the risk of exposure to mercury.

I didn’t know Rehberg supported this market protection measure for GE, but hopefully he and everyone else who voted for it, will heed the concerns of mercury poisoning and rescind this odious, anti-choice, overreaching of government. Given the serious health hazards of mercury, what ever were they thinking?
