Charlie Rangel

Charlie Rangel is a great man. He served with the U.S. Army in Korea, and has represented Harlem well in the House for decades. He is the dean of the Congressional Black Caucus, a reliable voice for the best ideals of American society, and a patriot.

He is also ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, which gives me pause when I consider that he has received $36,000 from clients of Jack Abramoff.

If Rangel did favors for this money, he must resign. That's all there is to it.
