Pardon my sloth. I'm a student of American government. I'm not an American (yet!). I have some questions, but not either the ignorance or the gumption to believe that it's the President's responsibility to answer me, so I pose them to you, my fellow Freepers. While I was studying for citizenship, I read somewhere (either the constitution or the Bill of Rights, I don't remember which) that one is directed to approach Congress for redress of grievances. It seems to me that if Cindy is aggrieved about the war, she should ask her Congresspeople. She does, after all, have 2 Senators and 53 Representatives, right? So my questions are these:
- Are the CA Senators Diane Finestein and Thomas McClintock?
- If I'm correct, how did Diane vote? I'm pretty sure Senator McClintock voted to go to war.
- Does anybody know which of the Democrat luminaries in the House of Representatives represents Cindy Sheehan?

I thank you all in advance and take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the existence of this online community. For a while, I was starting to get desperate about the lack of love for this country. Obviously, I worried too soon.

California Senators are Boxer and Feinstein.

Welcome to Free Republic...and welcome to America.

We are just people that want to keep America what it was when we grew up and what you most likely came here FOR.

Her senators are Feinstein and Boxer....don't know her representative...but for some reason, she has decided to go seek "redress" from Tom Delay, whose district is very definitely in TEXAS!

Hey! You are already smart enough to be a citizen as far as I'm concerned. Smarter than any liberal I've seen. Welcome to Free Republic, the greatest family of patriots on earth.

"- Does anybody know which of the Democrat luminaries in the House of Representatives represents Cindy Sheehan?"

I could be wrong, but I believe the Congressman in the House of Representatives that represents her district in Vacaville, Ca is Dan Lungren, a Republican.

Welcome to Free Republic; and congratulations on your studies and your quest for citizenship in the country which I believe most of us here think is the most wonderful country on God's earth.
