Nancy Boyda's bill stripping federal pensions from Congresscritters convicted of certain felonies passed the House unanimously, with four members not present.
In all his years in Congress, Jim Ryun's greatest legislative accomplishment was making foreign shoes somewhat cheaper.

The race is on
Democratic candida
Kansas City Star | 11/01/2006 | Boyda would support welcome changes:
A month ago, Jim Ryun's campaign planted a story about how Nancy Boyda wasn't a serious challenger because the DCCC wasn't putting any money into her campaign.
Why didn't Boyda and the Democrats allow Republican amendments to the bill? Why wasn't it considered by a committee? Republicans had a bill that would have stripped pensions for 21 separate crimes that the House of Representatives passed last year, not just 5 as were included in Boyda's bill, but Democrats wouldn't let them offer it as an amendment. And why did Boyda's bill almost exempt any corrupt activity for the next two years? So much for bi-partisanship.
