I live in California so I had not heard of her before the financial crises just around the time of the 2008 elections. Can't remember exactly when, but this woman stood on the house floor and tore into Wall Street, Banksters Fraudsters etc, not just with sound bites or for political posturing. She spoke with fury and passion and pretty much reminds me of Elizabeth Warren. pulling no punches. I'm curious if Kaptur works in tandem with Warren, presumably she's still a Congressional House member?

Anyhow I really liked her a lot and hoped to hear more about her. But i haven't until now. Endorsing Bernie would be in keeping with the principles she was fighting on behalf during that period.
