After viewing this YouTube video, I must say I am considering moving to Congressman Ted Poe’s district myself.  While he does tend to portray the CFL light bulb as a dangerous item, which it is not in my opinion, I found myself just swelling with pride that someone would speak about government controls in this manner.  It was a breath of fresh air.  We need patriots like Mr. Poe in our government.

His main point seems to be this:  Why is the government mandating what type of light bulb we must use, when we are capable of making the choice ourselves?  This sentiment rings true to what I envision our founders felt when they split with the mother country after being told what to do for so long.  We really, really can make our own choices about things like light bulbs on our own, thank you very much!
