Lynn Woolsey campaigning for pro-war reactionary member of House

by Tom Joad
Lynn Woolsey, Vice-Chair of the so-called "progressive caucus" in the House of Representatives, is going down to Southern California next week to campaign for the re-election of one of the most reactionary, pro-war, anti-Palestinian members of the House of Representatives, Jane Harman, a democrat. By doing so, she is campaigning against an actual progressive, Marcy Winograd, another Democrat who hopes to replace Jane.
Lynn Woolsey has a rather decent record of opposing the worst of US policies. She opposed Bush’s war on Iraq. She supports sane health care reform that puts people first rather than corporate interests. She has at times been critical of Israeli policies that are so detrimental to not only the well-being of the people in the Middle East, but also the view of the US around the world.

So why, Lynn, are you going down next week to Southern California to campaign for one of the most reactionary members of Congress? Not only is she fighting for Jane Harman, California’s version of Dick Cheney, she seems to be opposing Marcy Winograd, a Democrat who is fighting to replace her in the House seat. Marcy is everything that Jane is not. Marcy supports working people, supports peace over war, supports rational health care systems…. The very stuff people think of when they hear “progressive Democrat”.

This is the event Lynn "i love war supporters" Woolsey will be speaking at for Jane Harman:
Danny's Venice
23 Windward Avenue
Venice, CA 90291
Saturday, January 16, 2010
4:00pm to 6:00pm

Please explain it to us, Lynn. WTF?
