69. My congresswoman is standing right behind Nancy... Bumped in to her at the airport before XMas...

Jan 2013

... when she was coming back in to Portland Friday evening, saying then that she was surprised that she was going to be able to get home for Christmas then with all of the last minute "dealing" then, and I was on my way to L.A. (where I was kept at the airport to just past the end of the "end of the world" day by Delta Airlines keeping my Alaska flight from pulling in to the gate for well over an hour).

Hoping that these women can be a big part along with other new progressives like Alan Grayson in fighting off the corporatist/tea party/Republican infestation in the House this coming term.. I have a lot more confidence in Ms. Bonamici whose been far more accessible to us than our former rep David Wu.
