4. Great congressman. I had the pleasure of voting for him.

5. Well I just hope that you can have the

pleasure of voting for Jim McDermott.

6. He's the reason the GOP will never relinquish the house. They fear he

will chair committees that will expose their corrupt policies.

7. Rep Waxman Is A Credit To The Dems....

8. Please call 800-839-5276 in the morning, and ask for Waxman's office

and thank this man! He needs to know that he is appreciated for his work.

You can be sure he'll be getting lots of negative calls from "the other side" (and probably some threats, too), so we need to do our part to support these reps who are doing their jobs.

I'm glad to know about the email updates..... I'll be signing up........

Thanks for this!

9. Thank god for Dems like Waxman, who still know that

they are supposed to serve the people, not rob the treasury.

10. Wellstone

Let's just hope he doesn't end up like Paul Wellstone

God forbid but I don't put anything past these folks

Barbara Bush:" you can criticize me, but don't criticize my children and don't criticize my daughters-in-law and don't criticize my husband, or you're dead."

[Kanary]

11. Aren't there laws about threatening the lives of public officials?

Will any of these criminals ever be brought to justice?

Kanary, more disgusted than the law allows.......

12. Thanks for this.

I signed up for the e-mail updates.

13. Henry Waxman is a patriot!

History will smile on him!

[KoKo]

14. I just signed up. If more of us do it, then he will have support that he

doesn't get in the House. If he says he had thousands of folks sign up for his e-mails and he's getting word out to us, it just might get some folks in the House to start to think about supporting him in a Democratic block against the Repugs.

Government for the people and by the people!
