One of the twenty physician members of Congress , Rep. Phil Roe (an unusual name for an OB/GYN, no?) helped save a man’s life at the Charlotte-Douglas airport yesterday.
Also, of the twenty physicians in Congress, eighteen are Republicans. Of the Republicans, twelve are in their first or second terms in the House or Senate. Why the apparently sudden interest that doctors have in serving in Congress?
For what it’s worth (not much) Georgia and Louisiana share the distinction of each having three physician representatives in Congress.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
