It should be an interesting and fun read! Barbara is my wonderful Senator, and I'm looking forward to her book.

I'd love to buy it. Would it just be a history and overview or anything juicy? If this book is going to be in a local bookstore I'd buy it. Barbara is definitley one of my favorite senators. :loveya: I'd support her all the way.

Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 12:07 AM by dooner
A Time to Run: Senator Boxer, writing with Mary-Rose Hayes, tells an exciting tale of friendship and betrayal, idealism and pragmatism, in-fighting and public spin. The novel follows Ellen Fines from her days as a college student through romantic entanglements and a difficult marriage to a rising political star. When her husband is killed in a car accident during his campaign for the Senate, Ellen assumes his candidacy and achieves an upset victory over a political machine. On the eve of a crucial vote, past and public worlds collide when Ellen's former lover, now a journalist with strong right-wing connections, gives her sensitive documents that could either make or break her career. From hideaways deep under the U.S. Capitol to wealthy southern California ranches to the political unrest on the streets of Berkeley, lA Time to Run is a great read, and a fascinating, up-close story of power and trust.

and leave the book writing to novelists.

7. I don't consider writing novels a "hobby"--it's a job! |
|
maybe she should take up biking, or writing books about gardening.

8. Barbara - I voted for you - DO YOUR JOB - DUMP BUSH, vote |
|
against ALL Bush court appointees, get rid of no-bid contracts, clean out Homeland Security and FEMA, Get supplies to the military, benefits to the Vets, Re-Do the Transportation Bill - cut the pork ($300 million bridge in Alaska to nowhere), Pay for Katrina recovery, get funding for Sacramento Delta Levees, get money for earthquake retrofits to all bridges, overpasses, and masonry buildings in YOUR home state and GET THE US OUT OF IRAQ NOW!
If you get all of that done - and I haven't mentioned health care, housing, bird flu, and the environment, THEN you may have time to write a book. But, I doubt you will have any spare time. Frankly, save the book for when you are retired!
You are one of the best Senators - Please do the job you were elected to do.
A California Voter!
