 Irregular Times Rating and Contact Information for Representative Lloyd Doggett of TX   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Doggett has taken the principled step of formally lending support to H.R., which would put an end to the practice of "extraordinary rendition." This is a practice in which Bush Administration officials send people into the custody of certain nations, knowing full well (some would say intending) that they will be tortured there.
Doggett has taken the affirmative step of cosponsoring H.R., which would provide more information to the public about contacts between lobbyists and politicians, and which would slow down the revolving door of politics in which politicians move into cushy corporate jobs after they retire in exchange for favors.
Lloyd Doggett has not yet cosponsored H.R., which would keep members of the Federal Communication Commission from using their appointed positions to censor cable, satellite or internet programs they consider to be indecent.

Doggett says he's basically lived in Hidalgo Co. since December, and that during that time "a lot of people have seen more of me than they've seen of their congressman in years."

Doggett says that, when he described CD 25 as "a district drawn to fail," he was mostly referring to constituent service – at least two offices, with two staffs fluent in two different sets of issues, each being held by Doggett to his legendary demanding standards.
