As Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey is a vocal and visible leader on progressive issues, particularly those dealing with children and families.   A passionate and outspoken opponent of the Iraq war, she has helped move public opinion against President Bush’s failed Iraq policy.  She introduced the first resolution calling for our troops to be brought home and convened the first congressional hearing on military exit strategies, and recently introduced H.R. 508 the Bring Our Troops Home and Sovereignty of Iraq Restoration Act.  The San Jose Mercury News recently called her “the unofficial matriarch of the [anti-war] movement in Congress.”

Some video highlights of recent speeches by Congresswoman Woolsey:

• On Iraq (July 25, 2007)
• Mine Safety Hearing
