RIP Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
You tried your best to help Americans and irritated a lot of conservatives along the way.
I'd say it was a life well lived.
Condolences to your family and loved ones.

Nobody quite like her.
Some people whine and fight and cry and storm the Capitol and smear ---- all over.
Others whine and fight and cry and get elected to go to the Capitol and change things legally, peacefully, in the spirit of our representative republic.
RIP

She said NO to War.
She Was implacable against the Iraq Debacle from the beginning.
Moral Courage is being against BS when everyone else is For It.
RIP, Brave Patriot.

She worked like hell to help bring a lot of very poor and powerless people out of the hell of the mentality of the 1950's. A great career, when she helped the lost, she helped our democracy as well, become truer to its goals

I got to meet her a couple of years ago during a ribbon cutting ceremony for a health clinic in Houston. She was impressive in her commitment to the needs of her community.
