Barbara Boxer Against NAFTA
All from http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=S0105103

"My efforts on international trade have focused on expanding foreign markets for California's agricultural products. I opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, and I believe that trade agreements must include provisions to protect workers and the environment."

Even though she said opposed, instead of oppose, that's a much braver stand than John Kerry, who initially supported NAFTA, took.

4. Me too!
After Boxer standing up on the 6th, I will do anything for the lady. She is my hero... no joke. What she did shows she has the courage to get things done and stand up for the people. I love Dean, too!

5. Our positions on issues are in sync ... virtually all of the time.
She's my only representation really. My congressman is the RNC flunkie who paid for Grey Davis' recall ... paving the way for a Rethuglican to get into the Governor's Office.

And I was so proud of her yesterday.

8. Did you have to remind me?
As I told you - Barbara Boxer IS my only representation.

I heard Senator Feinstein may retire soon. Time for new Democratic blood. Of course, with my luck, Arnie will get some Rethuglican elected.

7. Senator Boxer makes me proud to be a Californian
By the way, this is the second capacity in which she has represented me. She was supervisor in the district of Marin County where I lived in the early eighties.
