There is a Michael Poulin from Spokane as a memeber of the Green Party...no confirmation that it's the same person, however.

From the article:

Poulin's ex-wife, Marianne Torres of Spokane, said she hasn't seen him since mid-October and didn't know where he was. The couple divorced in September

Here's a letter the Greenie wrote to Rep. Barbara Lee:

Representative Barbara Lee

Fax:(510) 763-6538

Barbara &endash; The moment we heard the news report of the 420-1 House vote giving war powers to this terrifying, moronic administration, we knew that one vote had to be yours, and it was confirmed in the paper this morning.

I have always been proud of having had you for my MSW supervisor while I did an internship with Ron Dellums, and was thrilled to see you in State and then Federal government, as you probably know. But never have I been prouder of you and of my association with you than when I heard that you were the one and only voice of reason in the House on Friday.

Thank you, Barbara. I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to cast the lone vote. The jingo-ism and knee-jerk reaction of otherwise thinking people is so very frightening and can only lead to awful results, compounding our multitude of tragic mistakes in the world. How sorely missed is Dr. ML King at this moment. He is one of the few who would have the courage to stand with you.

Please ask your aides to put me on your office's mailing list. We want to be able to help get you re-elected even though we're now living in Spokane WA. Am sending this to both Washington and Oakland in order to cover all the bases.

In sorrow in these terrible times,

Marianne Torres
