It is the disproportionate representaiton of individuals of jewish faith. Recently, the USA Today wrote a column on the faith of members of congress. In the article, it said that while indivduals of Jewish descendant make up 2% of the nations population. Individuals of Jewish desendant hold 5x the number of seats in Congress in proportion to their population representation. I found that infomation to be very critical, particularly in light of Nate Silver's article on why there are not more African American's representation in the Senate.<br><br>Yet, we have individuals like Feinsteing who are chairing Interlligence and voting for funding and seemingly whose pro-Israel positions is disproportionate to our national interest. America has permanent interests not permanent allies. But the USA Today brought into focus one of the primary reasons that our FP is out of kilter.

Yet, history needs to record that Obama did not have the support of long-serving black politicians and especially that of civil rights icon John Lewis. Lewis who is the most enduring symbol for infamous BloodySunday who risked his life for Obama to be able to run for President, yet let history record, how when this momentous occasion occurred..he was a shell of his former self and chose to support HRC over the living embodiment of what he had fought for!!<br><br><br>Hey JJP family.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope and wish that the NEW Year is properous and brings wonderful blessings all year long to each and everyone here.<br>I am back and feeling refresshed. It was wonderful to leave this cold weather, with double digit negative chill factor and spend time on the beach and watch the sunset as it's glistening shadow was cast over rippling water. Just LOVELY especially with a CHAMPAGNE Cosmo!! (thanks for the recipe) First, I just have to say that the video here of the SC debate will always be recalled in my mind for the historical shot of the members of the CBC, John Lewis and StephanieTubbsJones(rip) enthusiastically clapping for HRC as she dissed Obama about the 'slumlandlordResko'…I was just livid when I watched that the night of the debate.

I did a post about this with the contact info for the family's attorney, the BART police, Internal Affairs and the monthly Board Mtg which is in 3 days. Initially they said they didn't have the security cameras recording that night and I knew they were lying. They tried to grab the cell phone from the videographer. It's getting a lot of press now.
