Lantos to Retire

Congressman Tom Lantos has announced that he will not seek re-election for a 15th term due to the fact that he has cancer. He has an amazing record as a humanitarian. Not only that, he survived the Holocaust as well. Lantos will be missed.

"It is only in the United States that a penniless survivor of the Holocaust and a fighter in the anti-Nazi underground could have received an education, raised a family, and had the privilege of serving the last three decades of his life as a member of Congress," Lantos said in a statement. "I will never be able to express fully my profoundly felt gratitude to this great country."
