1. Me too ... same here - another favorite of mine is Cynthia McKinney

even though she's not currently serving now.

[Forkboy]

2. Got to agree there

[Cleita]

3. My all time favorite warrior princess, Congress Rep. Maxine Waters.

People used to look at me like I was nuts every time I praised her, but my opinion of her has never changed.

[ClassWarrior]

20. Maxine's the bomb!

Sheila Jackson Lee... Cynthia McKinney...

And coming soon, from the great state of Wisconsin... Rep. Gwen Moore!!!

9. Sure. I remember Barbara. Nixon Impeachment. Eloquent. Fiery.

Her famous speech: "My faith in the Constitution is whole"...or something like that.

One of the best.

7. a couple times i have heard members of black caucus

speak. one young man from florida and an older one from east coast state, dont remember, delaware? and another woman. love them. love them. we need way more black in congress. they see so clearly, they are just cause they have experienced so much injustice and i think they take their role and the constitution way more seriously

i agree...........from a white woman, grinnin

[KG]

8. said it before - black women will save this country from itself.

[newsguyatl]

10. ditto.

although i just like black women in general :D

that's most of my music collection.

[TroubleMan]

14. LOL...I'm married to one

Also, I just happen to be listening to Anita Baker right now...lol.

[newsguyatl]

21. ha!

[devilgrrl]

13. Black women are the future of America

Just got to get rid of Condisleeza and a few other bad apples.

[69KV]

16. I just saw Farenheit 9-11

Right there in the very beginning of the film, where the women of the Congressional Black Caucus took the lead on the Florida vote fraud/disfranchisement thing and nobody else would back them up.

They were heroes. Still are. We could use an entire U.S. Congress full of more like them. I'd do whatever it takes to get more elected.

Here's to Cynthia McKinney winning her seat back! :toast:

[madmax]

18. I watched it live on CSPAN

I cried all day. When I saw Fahrenheit, I cried all over again. God Bless the CBC!!

[69KV]

23. Missed it on CSPAN

I don't have cable as a matter of choice and because my employment has me out of town more than not.

But...

If what I saw in Farenheit 9-11 was what happened, that was truly a sad day for the Senate.

[Cocoa]

17. this is kind of weird to me

anyone else feel that way too?

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Maxine Waters ROCKS!!!!!

I LOVE her and Sheila Jackson Lee. :yourock:

Corrine Brown is new to me, but she's now another one I will watch for on the floor of the House. Corrine, :yourock:

22. African Americans are

the life, blood, and soul of our party. And we better start acting like we know it. They are our most loyal members, and the only ones, I feel, who emerged from the 2000 elections with the ability to hold their heads high. :dem:

24. White man married to a black woman......I'm with you....

I'll be volunteering for Obama in Illinois later this year.
