Henry's not done anything to end the war. He's refused to consider impeachment. And he voted FOR the Peru Free Trade Agreement AND the Homegrown Terrorism Act that will finish off more of our constitutional rights.
I doubt that most people in his district realize he's not the "liberal" they sent to office years ago, since he continues to do his committee investigations that allow him to grandstand in the news. Unfortunately, these findings rarely achieve more than a press release. The obvious conclusion for them would be an investigation into impeachment which he has steadfastly refused to consider in direct opposition to many constituents (W.Hollywood) and the voters in 06. But no one is willing to run against him because of his massive contribution network that he continues to milk each year regardless of no opposition.

Great to have West L.A. protected from selling out to movies studios...etc.... but what about the VA in North Hills... the studios are taking over buildings, parking lots.... blocking roads when they want..... it is disgusting.... why is this going on? to generate money? what a sell out.... and so far, we got new chairs in the rec hall from these funds.....
Mr. Waxman sought to use the Roger Clemens and the Mitchell Report to focus himself into the heat and light of the hearing. Any fair minded Democrat watching the hearing would conclude Mr. Waxman did a very poor job with the hearing. I hope his support within the commitee is now diminsihed. Sorry Roger!
Lets send Henry Waxman to the unemployment line I belive he has earnd his wlking papers, as if Congress did not have better things to deal with other then MBL steriod use... Really how stupid could we be!!!!!!
Sibel Edmonds was a translator in the FBI Washington Field Office. While there reviewing documents in Turkish, she saw information indicating that US government officials (State Dept, Defense Dept, Congress -- both parties) were being paid off by front groups for Turkish organized crime. She reported this information, and the attempts of the American Turkish Council (ATC) to recruit her. She was fired.
She went through channels with the matter, and her case was reviewed by the Department of Justice/Office of the Inspector General, by two US Senator, and by the 60 Minutes newsteam, who did a story. Each time, those of Edmonds' allegations which were looked into were confirmed. Despite all this, nothing has been done; the Bush Administration has gagged Sibel Edmonds in court, imposing State Secrets Privilege and preventing Edmonds from discussing the case, supposedly in the interests of national security.
Congressman Waxman has been briefed on all this and promised in 2006 that should the Democrats win Congress, he would hold public hearings in the Sibel Edmonds case. The Democrats won, and the Democrat-controlled Congress was convened in January of 2007. In February, a new Turkish lobby group came into existence, organized by the same crowd that set up the ATC as a front: the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA). Congressman Waxman is a member of the TCA's Congressional Caucus.
Needless to say, Congressman Waxman has not held hearings into the Sibel Edmonds case (which deals the influence of Turkish organized crime in American politics), as Mr. Waxman promised.

Dear Sir: It is with honor I desire you to help me in eliminating my predicament.
I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give
action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above,
namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security
reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may
attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all
means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing
is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal
everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any
country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit
of happiness” dream.
For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as
its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my
interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment
are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me,
controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence.
It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body.
My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser
is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is
no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately.
I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter.
As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites
are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact
with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The
spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every
move 24 hours a day.
Sincerely, Lawrence E Richards 352-585-5466
