34. She was absolutely correct.

I was right there with her.

As were millions here & around the world. Especially in New York City. I will always love New Yorkers for suffering the most yet in the large majority opposing the War In Iraq. That's not only love and courage. It's great intelligence and compassion!

It's still tough for me to talk about that time.

We need more representatives like Barbara Lee. More, more, more!
