1) Protesting the stolen Presidential Elections of 2000 and 2004.

2) Out of Iraq caucus

3) Rescuing Aristide when the US Marine kidnapped him and took him to the Central African Republic. Maxine jumped on a plane, went to the CAR, and brought him back to the US or Jamaica (I forget which) for his own safety.

4) Constantly drumming up support for impeaching Bush and his cabinet. She isn’t afraid of the “I” word.

We are lucky to have her in Congress along with the Democratic Black Caucus.

So you GOT it years ago? What has changed? Seems to me it is worse.

THINK, imbecile, THINK. Right now, the Dem party is all we have. AFTER things get back to relative normalcy (read: the Bush cabal is indicted), then we can get other parties. Until then? You are just a whiner. So, sit in your corner, keep voting for Nader, and leave the workers alone.

And NO, I will not forget. But we have to do it in a logical order.
