“If the U.S. can fund an $886 billion defense budget, we can afford Medicare for All. If the U.S. can fund an $886 billion defense budget, we can afford the Green New Deal. If the U.S. can fund an $886 billion defense budget, we can afford to cancel student loan debt.”— Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA)On March 5, 2024 (or before) be sure to vote for the Bay Area’s Barbara Lee for the U.S. Senate in California’s Presidential Primary Election. Should she win, Barbara Lee would become the only elected African-American woman in the U.S. Senate. Barbara Lee’s Democratic Senate Primary opponents - Southern California Congresspersons Adam Schiff and Katie Porter - are both considerably more conservative and pro-corporate than proud progressive stalwart Barbara Lee (D-CA).Barbara Lee has been proven correct time and again for the many politically difficult decisions that Representative Lee has made over her past quarter-century in Congress, including Democrat Barbara Lee having courageously cast the only vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 14, 2001 against the Republican Bush-Cheney regime’s reckless carte blanche Authorization for the Use of Military Force that created the catastrophic, full-blown failure known as “The War On Terror”.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Barbara Lee (D-CA) will continue to speak truth to power as a U.S. Senator and will continue to oppose pointless, counterproductive genocidal wars. Truth is exactly what we Californians want and need from our elected Democratic leaders in perilous times such as these with the U.S. being pressured and propagandized into once again sacrificing the lives of thousands of American soldiers upon the altar of plentiful profits for the military-industrial complex in yet another murderous military debacle in the Middle East. 10/7 is a big lie, just like 9/11 was. Hell no, we won’t go!Jake PickeringEureka googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
