I promised I'd start listing legislators who voted for draconian drug laws, so I'll start with the Patriot Act reauthorization that passed in 2006 (which includes the federal law to imprison allergy sufferers).
This is a reprint of an article from The Nation's Washington correspondent about the reauthorized Idiot Act. It lists the only 10 senators who voted against it:

This is the Senate's webpage listing who voted for and against the law:

This is the House's webpage listing who in that chamber voted for and against it:

Unacceptable then, it seems like even more of an outrage now.

Sweet, this is the right idea. Americans should watch closely to what our representatives are doing when they are supposed to be protecting our freedoms and interests.
