The only crime of the judge’s is that he is white. While you, Barbara Lee, supported a criminal gang,the Black Muslim Bakery. Why do you refuse to release your letters of support of these rapists and murderers? The information was out there in 2002 when the Eastbay Express did an expose on Bey the child rapist. Yet you Barbara still supported them and helped them to over a million dollars of tax dollars. That money probably paid for the gun that killed C. Bailey. Shame!

The comments by Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters are indicative of the Democratic Party’s failures. Because Senator Feinstein shows some independence, she is castigated by interest groups within the Party. There is no room for independent thinking in this Party. Women, Blacks, Hispanics, Environmentalists, Labor, Gays all need their agenda followed to the letter in order to secure support. How can this party continue to function when the rest of us who don’t fall into one interest group or another have zero voice?

Well, I keep telling you folks Feinstein is not the person to vote for but you keep on putting her in the Senate. And I still am confused why she is the most popular California Democrat – but then, money talks even to black folks.

As for Ms. Lee, aand our new Mayor – what a laugh!!!! During the waste management strike neither of them did anything of substance. And no one to date has explained why our citizens in East Oakland did not get their trash picked up once during whole strke but those up in Rockridge did, those living around Merritt Lake area did – I know that for a fact. What was that about???

And Ms. Lee do not get on your high horse talking about your office helps all its citizens – yea if they can do something for you. You folks don’t care about the every day black or white person, I know that for a fact also. I have a dear friend who tried to seek your assistance in getting their veteran’s pay reinstated when it was wrongly stopped. You and your office did NOT ONE THING!!! I guess if it lived up in hills or Rockridge, or had a fancy job you might have considered it – but this is a veteran who as a result of an injury NO not in Iraq, not in war but being pushed off a truck by a white solider while in Germany sustained a disability. He came to you and your people for help and all he got was lip service and as a result he is now homeless.
So don’t preach to me about caring for Oakland citizens OK.

And the new Mayor – what has he done for Oakland so far – nothing but a lot of talk and crying. Might as well have kept Jerry Brown
