She was the only person in congress who didn't think it was a good idea to give the president a blank check to invade anyone he wanted shortly after 9/11. The only one to vote no on the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists" legislation.

And yet I still support Barbara Lee... (she's been redistricted and is now in the 13 district, I think).
