Fire Dreier! And, Fire Jerry Lewis! too

No, not one of my favorite (no, really) comics, but Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-Redlands). He voted against a bill that would have tied foreign aid to Mexico to them extraditing cop killers who've fled to that country.

Details of yesterday's protest in "Group wants Lewis ousted":

Holding posters and waving large and small American flags, a small group lined the sidewalk Tuesday near Rep. Jerry Lewis' district office, exhorting the public to vote him out.

What prompted the 25 to gather in the muggy 101-degree heat at Brookside Avenue and San Mateo Street is legislation to cut off financial aid to countries refusing to extradite suspected U.S. cop killers who fled to their shores...

Apparently they've "opened a dialogue" with Lewis' Deputy Chief of Staff. Note that Rep. David Dreier also voted against the bill.

The article references, but doesn't give the URL for, an anti-Lewis site. It's the aptly titled FireJerryLewis.com.
