My congresswoman is Anna Eshoo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Eshoo#Issues_and_legislation

Overall, she's done a few good things, like standing up against discrimination, but she is way too left-wing and she votes with Pelosi most of the time.

I give her a 2.

I don't even know what my Congresswoman does. She seems useless.

The only cool thing that she did was she was THE ONLY member of the House to vote against giving Bush war powers after 9-11. Even RP voted yes on that. She got death threats and everything (Barbara Lee-Oakland, CA). Not the Iraq vote...the Afghanistan vote.

Mine is one of the worst. He introduced a bill to initiate the death penalty for marijuana possession (wtf!) and is constantly on the local radio shows propagating his neocon war propaganda. Mark Kirk deserves the lowest rating possible.

Congresswoman Lois Capps - District 23 in California.
rating: 0
reasons:

HealthNational Pain Care Policy Act (H.R.756)
Direct Support Professionals Fairness and Security Act (H.R. 868)
Heart Disease Education, Analysis Research, and Treatment (HEART)
for Women Act (H.R. 1032)

Energy & EnvironmentCoastal State Renewable Energy Promotion Act (H.R. 1690)
Climate Change Health Protection and Promotion Act (H.R. 2323)

and when asked: "where in the Constitution does it mention
the right to have health insurance?"

her response was: ...um, in the beginning,..um, you know
Life, liberty, health, & the pursuit of happiness,...

I heard her say this, at one of her "health ins. rallies"!!!
