Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey Endorses Hillary Clinton

The Clinton Campaign announced today the endorsement of U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey of California’s sixth Congressional District. The Congresswoman cited Senator Clinton’s commitment to ending the war in Iraq as the top reason for her backing.

"Hillary Clinton is the candidate with the strength and experience to bring about the change that California families need," said Rep. Woolsey. "I trust Hillary to end the war in Iraq, bring our troops home quickly and safely, and regain our nation’s standing around the world."

Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey is serving her eighth term representing all of Marin, and most of Sonoma County.

As Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Congresswoman 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. The San Jose Mercury News recently called her "the unofficial matriarch of the movement in Congress."

A member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congresswoman Woolsey believes that ending the Iraq war must be the beginning of a complete re-evaluation of U.S. national security policy.

"I am honored to receive Lynn’s support," Clinton said. "She has been a tireless fighter for working families and has led the effort to end the war in Iraq."

Rep. Woolsey joins other California members of Congress supporting Hillary, including Senator Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-18), Rep. Jane Harman (D-36), Rep. Tom Lantos (D-12), Rep. Doris Matsui (D-5), Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-38), Rep. Laura Richardson (D-37), Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-34), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-27), Rep. Hilda Solis (D-32), Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-10) and Rep. Diane Watson (D-33).

1. It's going to damned hard to do

But I think she will too.

[NDambi]

2. I trust Hillary as much as I trust her hubby...which means I don't trust her on anything

[bowens43]

3. Why would anyone trust her.

She supported the war and she is a pathological liar.

4. Woolsey apparently thinks different than you do

she apparently thinks that supporting the war at one time is not incompatible with being able to end it now.

And Woolsey doesn't seem to be into namecalling.

5. Are we to infer from Congresswoman Woolsey's statement...

...that she believes a President Obama could NOT be trusted to end the war in Iraq? I mean, if you are going to endorse someone, shouldn't you at least try to point out the difference between your candidate and another?

6. the answer is no

Woolsey says she might cast her superdelegate vote for Obama depending on future primaries. Since she is so committed against the war, this suggests that she trusts Obama as well.

7. Thank you for the clarification....

...you're right, an endorsement of one candidate is not necessarily an attack on the other.
