FUTURESAVER OF THE WEEK ENDING 8-14-99

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia had her voting rights and the congressional voting rights of the citizens of Washington, DC taken away by the Republican-dominated congress. She is still able to write and introduce legislation and is one of the top members of congress in the number of bills she has introduced. She is on the Executive Committee of the Progressive Caucus, the Executive Committee of the Democratic Study Group, was elected co-chair of the Congressional Women's Caucus and is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Arts Caucus, Congressional Diabetes Caucus and the Environmental and Energy Study Conference. She is probably responsible for sponsoring, co-sponsoring and passing more progressive legislation than any other member of the House. She is also a tenured professor of law at Georgetown University and a nationally-recognized writer and civil rights leader. For doing the right thing for all of us and for the earth's biosphere, Eleanor Holmes Norton has been named Futuresaver of the Week. Click the links below for more information.
