US Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colorado), shown above wearing this Boing Boing T-shirt (which he purchased unbeknownst to us), is the only Happy Mutant on Capitol Hill. He fights for an open and free Internet, a sensible drug policy, LGBT rights, and measures to halt global warming. (Watch this delightful video of Jared giving the business to Drug Enforcement Apparatchik Michele Leonhart).

I found out today that Jared is campaigning against not just one, but three reptilian humanoids from the Babylonian Brotherhood in the upcoming congressional election. You can help him defeat the scaly shapeshifters by kicking in $5 to his re-election campaign.
