Empathetic statement to Cindy Sheehan.

4. I have a great deal of respect for him
He's the one who had the local forum with Joe Wilson, where the "Rove/frog marched" remarks were first made (I was there!)

Each available Tues that Congress is in session, he's part of a small House group that discusses opposition to the war (c-span) until late in the night.

He organized an event with constituents to see Moore's movie.

He heard from so many constituents after he signed that crappy letter asking HASTERT for a bankruptcy bill (foolishly expecting something sensible), that he voted and lobbied against it.

5. He's good.
Very articulate, you can tell he takes his job seriously. I love watching c-span when he's on.

6. First time I've ever seen him..I'm very impressed
So much so that I googled him. He's 52, is a JD, and gee whiz - he's a looker!

8. I heart Jay Inslee
I don't live in his district, but lemme' tell you. I've been to several events that he was speaking at over the years. He answers the tough questions. He goes out of his way to answer the tough questions.

The state of Washington is lucky to have him.

10. I was very impressed with him, today, at the DSM hearings....
I had never really seen him before; don't know how I missed him on the House side, but he was impressive (as well as handsome, LOL)!

11. As a Washingtonian, just south of his district, let's put it this way:
Inslee is not part of the problem. 7.99 out of 10.
