Per Thomas, Sali has sponsored four bills. Two puff pieces, two apparently serious. Three are referred to committee, one was voted down. Of the four bills, Sali had one co-sponsor on one bill; Mike Simpson co-sponsored the bill to commend Idaho on winning the Special Olympics games in 2009.

Update: Sorry for the poor syntax. Didn't mean to say that Idaho is a special olympian and that the state took first. Rather, Idaho won the competition to host the games.

There's one piece of legislation he co-sponsored that actually passed -- the "Congratulations to the Boise St. Broncos on an undefeated season" resolution that Rep. Simpson sponsored. Since Rep. Sali always says that he never supports anything that isn't specifically authorized by the Constitution, I'm still trying to figure out where in the Constitution it says that "Congress shall have the power to congratulate football teams".
Hey Alan, could you drop me a line at kt@actblue.com with your contact info- I've been indexing the various state blogospheres where we have candidates using ActBlue and of course, Idaho is very much one of those. Would appreciate it!
