No, that's the point. She's been totally silent on all of it while every other NY pol has been all over it. It's important because she's a progressive and two of her very close (geographically) colleagues are viciously anti-Manning and -Wikileaks. If she is just like them, that's a story. If she's not, it would be good to hear her thoughts on the issue. On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 8:33 PM, Barrett Brown <barriticus@gmail.com> wrote:
Off the bat, I'm having trouble finding any of her statements or expressed positions on Wikileaks or Manning. Is there something specific you've seen?

Schumer is also evil on Wikileaks and his district borders hers. I think it's important to know what she thinks. It would be a newsier piece, so it shouldn't be sassy. It would go far since nobody has asked her and she's a member of the Progressive Caucus, Out of Iraq Caucus, and the Human Rights Caucus and I'd get it linked all over.

I want to harrass Rep. Nydia Velazquez on her views on WikiLeaks, Manning, and other related issues in light of her district being near psycho Peter King's and the fact she rules over mostly weepy lefties. She has released no statements and has ignored a few of our approaches. I'd pay you $100 for it.-- Regards, Barrett Brown 512-560-2302-- Regards, Barrett Brown 512-560-2302-- Regards, Barrett Brown 512-560-2302
