1. Congresswoman Barbara Lee of CA is great, and has taken bold stands especially with

the anti-war movement and other fairness, equality and justice issues. Rep. Lee has Chaired the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and worked with many Dems. including Sanders. A First Rate representative and lady!

2. She and Bernie have worked together on some of the most important issues

of the past several decades. Too bad we didn't have more like them in Congress, we would never have been involved in the terrible neocon wars, there would be no violations of our Constitutional Rights. We must work to get more people like them into our government so they have the backing they need to stop the rightwing swing of this country before it is too late.
