	Irregular Times Rating and Contact Information for Representative Sam Farr of CA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Farr 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.
		Farr has not yet cosponsored 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.
		Sam Farr 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.

		Sam Farr: I think what was significant is that members of Congress of the president's own party were unified in breaking away from the president.

		Farr campaign coordinator Jennifer Wintrode claimed the flier was outdated--a wimpy excuse this close to the primary.
