The WDN had an article on Gudnecht[sic] campaign workers trying to alter a Wikpedia website on him where his pledge to leave congress after 12 years was removed. Why would they do that? "

He has tried to delete the history in Wikipedia about his 1994 promise to only stay in office 12 years. He has flipped his position on troop withdrawals. He does not listen to average citizens but only to the very rich. It is time to send him home to keep his BBQ going.
NOTE: If we are not mistaken, it was a staff member, not a campaign worker, who altered the Wikipedia entry.
