Speaking of Philly…Patrick Murphy Ain’t Voting for No Giants Resolution

This is Patrick Murphy. He is a congressman from Philadelphia, PA. We’ve never met him, nor heard of him, prior to today. But we like him already.
From the fine folks at Philadelphia Will Do:
On Wednesday, the House passed a resolution congratulating the New York Giants on winning this year’s Super Bowl “and completing one of the most remarkable postseason runs in professional sports history.” The resolution passed by a vote of 412 to 1.
Murphy, a diehard Eagles fan who worked at Veterans Stadium as a security guard when he was 16, was the only House member to vote against it. “As a former 700-level security guard and lifelong Eagles fan, I couldn’t, in good conscience, vote for the New York Giants,” Murphy said Thursday. “The only thing worse would have been a resolution honoring the Dallas Cowboys.”
Phenomenal work, Mr. Murphy.

Well done.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I could not be prouder of my city and the fact that our Congressman will stand up to 412 other members to support his home team. Thank you!
