Planned Parenthood. Public TV and Radio. Ad nauseum. And with it all, plea after plea to write my congressperson. Well. I have never been quite so simultaneously proud and frustrated to have Barbara Lee as my representative as right now, believe me.

(So instead I will provide links so you can write yours.)

Right? I mean, on one hand, it's great to know my representative is going to side with me. On another, I wish I had a rep that made letter-writing a bit more satisfying--I'd like to feel that I've made a difference.

I'm in the same boat. "OK, I'll click to sign a thing demanding that my rep vote the way she was going to vote anyway... um, yay????"

I just keep wanting her to go into one of these debates and say "hey, as one of the states that subsidizes a bunch of y'all's states with our tax money, we'd like for you to shut the hell up."

Jackie Speier did that pretty well, going so far as to disclose her own abortion history on the House floor. It was awesome.

Yeah, I heard. Good on her.

I think I am going to write Lee tomorrow and suggest that she introduce a bill to halt or cut all funding of legislative salaries. Not because I don't think she deserves to get paid, but because I want to see her colleagues walk the walk.
