I think DeFazio is in the DSM hearing.

[funflower]

Any other Oregonians there? How about Earl Blumenauer?

[tmooses]

1. I heard Blumenhauer on Hartmann this a.m. say he was going to be

meeting with Conyers. I don't remember if he was going to meetings.

[longship]

2. DeFazio is awesome

I love it when he gets is shorts in a bunch about things. He's a great representative. Wish he was mine; I have to suffer with DINO Joe Baca.

[Blue Belle]

3. Well I have to suffer with DINO Darlene Hooley.

But at least she finally signed the DSM letter. I'm very proud that all the Democratic Representative from Oregon have signed on with Representative Conyers. I almost cheered yesterday when Conyers announced that DeFazio had joined the proceedings! I have Rep envy.

4. Maybe you're the DINO

Democrat in name only because you're really a Green. There's lots worse Demomcrats than Darlene, and Peter doesn't have a perfect voting record either. One trip to Monmouth explained everything I ever needed to know about Darlene's voting record. She didn't create your voting district, the people did. If you don't like it, it's up to you to change it. Otherwise she'll have to keep representing her constintuents and they're not Greens and liberals.

5. need to pressure hooley

to not vote for CAFTA.

She voted for the MBNA sponsored bankruptcy bill.

(I agree she is a dino)

6. DeFazio for Senate 08

I honestly think he needs to take on Smith.

I can't think of anyone else who could beat him as well as in the Senate
he could have slightly more political power.
