Why is it that Senator Boxer is such a refreshing presence in the

[hangloose]

Senate?

1. She's terrific. Though I really think...

Contest the Vote's petition signed by around 70,000 constituents definitely got her attention. I urge you all to try the same with your legislators.

3. she's my legislator and I'm proud to say so!

4. I think that several Senators who contested today did so because

of all the emails we've been sending. Dayton was eloquent, Durbin was good too, as was Reed (from R.I.). They're finding courage because of "we the people."

And Boxer started that! It's always good to have 'a Woman in the House!' (or Senate as the case may be).

2. Because she is a reality-based person

That's why I donate to her and vote for her.

5. Because she has integrity and isn't afraid to stand up for what

she believes is right and honorable.

She doesn't take any guff from anyone.

And I'm honored to say she's my senator!!
