Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on May 14, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Congressman Paul Broun! May your day be filled with more excitement than a heated debate on Capitol Hill and brighter moments than the stars studied by NASA. Your dedication to Georgia's 10th congressional district since 2007 has certainly been out of this world—quite fitting for someone serving on the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology!

From passionately advocating homeland security measures to boldly championing conservative values as part of the Tea Party movement, you've made quite an impression in Washington. Here's hoping your birthday cake is bipartisan-approved—and that no one filibusters when it's time to blow out those candles!
