Featured Members of Congress
On November 14, 2007 Lynn Woolsey was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), along with fellow California progressives Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee, has decided to support the new Iraq bill, which provides a $50 billion bridge fund and requires troops to begin withdrawing within 30 days of enactment. In a joint statement the trio wrote that the bill and its non-binding Dec. 2008 date for a full withdrawal are not perfect, but that it "is a concrete step in the right direction, and an important marker for this Congress to lay down."

Re: H.R. 5056
It is important to have diplomatic relations with Iran but the persecution of the Bahá’ís needs to addressed up front and resolved. Iran is practicing segregation or apartheid but unlike most forms of segregation or apartheid the Bahá’ís don’t just have unequal rights they don’t have any rights at all.
Here is a quote from the attached linked article.
“While the Baha'i faith, founded on notions of equality and humanitarianism, originated in what would become the Islamic Republic of Iran, members of the religious community have faced persecution since the republic's establishment under the Islamic constitution of 1979.
According to the Iranian government, the Baha'i population represents a political sect, not a religious community, and is consequently regarded as apostate. Although the rights of certain minority groups, such as Christians and Zoroastrians, are explicitly protected under the constitution of the Islamic republic, the Baha'i population, estimated by the U.S. Department of State to be approximately 300,000-350,000 of the majority Muslim population, enjoys no rights.
The unprotected status of the Bahá’ís facilitates discrimination without justification within the Iranian legal system. Courts in Iran have denied Bahá’ís the right of redress or protection against assault, killings, or other forms of persecution. These courts have established that Iranian citizens who kill or injure Bahá’ís are not liable for damages because their victims are "unprotected infidels"

Re: Senator Obamas landslide in your district's primary.
Please explain to your constituents in District 6 why you will not endorse Senator Obama even though your constituents chose Senator Obama over Senator Clinton by one of the largest margins in the state of California
Rep. Woolsey has totally underestimated the abilities of Barack Obama and the will of the citizens she represents. Rep Woolsey’s support of Clinton is so upsetting ESPECIALLY since she has opposed the war. Hillary has compromised herself. So has Rep Woolsey.
Here's a good summary of the case for Obama.
http://www.anonymousliberal.com/2007/02/case-for-obama.html
Here's a summary of Obama's stand on the issues.
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/
Lynn Woolsey has lost my confidence unless she corrects and reverses herself to support the will of citizens she represents. The arrogance is appalling and undemocratic.
Dear Sir: It is with honor I desire you to help me in eliminating my predicament.
I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give
action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above,
namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security
reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may
attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all
means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing
is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal
everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any
country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit
of happiness” dream.
For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as
its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my
interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment
are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me,
controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence.
It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body.
My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser
is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is
no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately.
I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter.
As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites
are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact
with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The
spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every
move 24 hours a day.

"Lynn Woolsey has lost my confidence unless she corrects and reverses herself to support the will of citizens she represents."
Woolsey is about to switch her super-delegate vote to Obama! I disagree that she was "arrogant" but I am VERY happy she's about to change her vote as a delegate - Obama's polities and values are much closer in alignment with Lynn's and with Sonoma and Marin county.
