EARMARKS
In every bill that goes to the House and Senate for a vote is the provision " ... and for other purposes" so that earmarks can be inserted that may or may not have any direct or indirect relationship to the main purpose of the bill.

Now we all know that this will never change, so my question to you is if as a freshman you were given the opportunity to have an earmark inserted into a piece of legislation, what kind would it be?

VOTING
Also, since you would be as a member of the Green Party, a minority member, and knowing how Congress works, with which party would you vote on legislative matters ... the Republicans or the Democrats.

The former Representative from Vermont ... Sanders ... was a Socialist but he voted 100% with the Democrats.

COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
We also know that as a minority party member your options are limited, so how would you deal with being an outsider when it comes to getting things for your district?
