Indiana Brad and the Amendment of Doom

Congressman Brad Ellsworth (D-Ind.), a former Indiana sheriff, first ran for Congress in 2006 when he was one of a number of Democrats running for Congress whose social views deviated from the national party. He ran on his pro-life views, his belief in marriage as the union of one man and one woman and his support for the second amendment right to bear arms. *We're a pretty conservative bunch, and I think that I fit right in with those values of the people here,* Representative-elect Ellsworth told the press following his election victory.
