Unfortunately, no one of much significance consults with me.

I saw on wiki that she was involved with the Black Panther Party. For me that's a plus. I can only imagine how that would get spun by Fox and the rest of the conservative corporate media, roflmao.

My point in sharing her info here is that there are great progressives in Congress. They can run and win!

We need a lot more of them. More more more!
