Thaddeus Mccotter (R-MI) resigns from Congress.

http://www.nowpublic.com/world/thaddeus-mccotter-resigns-congress-quotes-bob-dylan-2954580.html

Here is Thaddeus McCotter’s resignation letter, which we found on his Facebook page:

“Today I have resigned from the office of United States Representative for Michigan’s
11th Congressional District.

“After nearly 26 years in elected office, this past nightmarish month and a half have, for the first time, severed the necessary harmony between the needs of my constituency and of my family. As this harmony is required to serve, its absence requires I leave.

“The recent event’s totality of calumnies, indignities and deceits have weighed most heavily upon my family. Thus, acutely aware one cannot rebuild their hearth of home amongst the ruins of their U.S. House office, for the sake of my loved ones I must “strike another match, go start anew” by embracing the promotion back from public servant to SOVEREIGN CITIZEN. [Emphasis mine--ER]

Well, he quotes Bob Dylan. He can’t be all bad.
