Finished with a giant fuck you as the Tea baggers fail utterly on the final vote.

Not a good night to be a Republican extremist and obstructionist.

of our jobs, homes, investments, and retirements, and our children went away to war to die, be wounded, or return to nothing. Now, it's too much to ask the rich to pay up.

Thanks for the Leadership, Sheila Jackson Lee, DEMOCRAT from Texas!




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

I had the good fortune to meet her right before she won her seat. She was giving a speech at an organization that I volunteered for. I remember the director whispering in my ear "she's going to be a U.S. representative!"

She was so confident, powerful and engaging
