Barbara Lee Given 'Integrity in Politics
Award' in Eugene

Democracy that cannot
be questioned is not
democracy! Wise
powerful words from a
lone voice that stood up
to the entire United
States government in
her refusal to support
President (non-elect)
Bush's war against
terrorism.

The illustrious and courageous Congresswoman Barbara
Lee, addressed an honored, overflowing crowd on Sunday
at the Wayne Morse Commons at the University of Oregon
in Eugene. Congresswoman Lee was invited to Eugene to
accept "The Integrity in Politics Award", an award that was
created to honor an elected official who exhibits the
qualities of the late Senator Wayne Morse, one of two
senators who opposed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which
initiated U.S. military intervention in Vietnam.

Seeing Barbara Lee in person, hearing her speak with
grace, eloquence and integrity, and witnessing her accept
this prestigious and much earned reward for her steadfast
commitment, was an important moment in my herstory. I
left the ceremony feeling inspired and alive with hope, and
strongly feeling that it is paramount for more women to take
their rightful place in the political arena, to put (as Wayne
Morse was famous for saying) "principle before politics".
