The following paragraph seems a bit like a campaign ad:

"Ruppersberger aims to create jobs and rebuild the economy in Maryland and across the country. He also aims to improve healthcare and to aide senior citizens by providing quality, affordable and accessible healthcare and prescription drugs. The Congressman considers one of his highest priorities to improve the security of the United States and to direct fiscal energies towards "first responders", such as the police and fire departments." --Jdurbach 03:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

The entire early life and political career section sounds like campaign mythology. It is not a biography and should be flagged and edited or removed. Surely this problem is common with politicians' pages. --kgustaf 12:03, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
