Maybe Rep Barbara Lee, Progressive Dem, should stop putting her nose in everyone else's business, and pay attention to other companies like that little shop called Your Black Muslim Bakery right there in her own District and see what other mischief, murder and mayhem the others are causing as well....

Rep Barbara Lee....Ahh, yes....the same Barbara Lee who supported the Black Panthers Group in the 60's....

Wiki says this about her in part......:
Lee is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Lee is notable as the only person in either house of Congress who voted against the authorization of use of force following the September 11, 2001 attacks.[7]. This made her a hero among the anti-war movement, but also caused her to receive death threats.[8] Lee has been a vocal critic of the Iraq War and supports legislation creating a Department of Peace.

She was one of the 31 who voted in the House to not count the electoral votes from Ohio in the United States presidential election, 2004. [1]

Rep. Lee is the main proponent of the H.R.176 Shirley A. Chisholm United States-Caribbean Educational Exchange Act which proposes to funneled U.S. tax dollars to educate students from Caribbean states. Of those responding to a poll 79% were against the legislation. The bill directs the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to develop a comprehensive program that extends and expands existing primary and secondary school initiatives in the Caribbean to provide: (1) teacher training methods; and (2) increased community involvement in school activities.[9]

Lee was ranked as the sixth-most liberal member of the House by the National Journal, based on roll-call votes on economic, social and foreign policy issues in 2006.[10]
