FUTURESAVER OF THE WEEK ENDING 2-17-2001

Congressman Alcee Hastings of Florida's 23rd district is one of the 14 House members (out of 435) who challenged the Florida electors. The others of the brave 14 are: Corrine Brown, Eva Clayton, Elijah Cummings, Peter Deutsch, Bob Filner, Jesse Jackson Jr, Shiela Jackson-Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Cynthia McKinney, Carrie Meek, Patsy Mink, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters. These 14 are the most patriotic (in the truest sense of the word) members of the US House and the US Senate (of the 535 total members of both Houses) for they are the ones who most grieve the decapitation of American Democracy and they are the members who are least corrupted by big money. Not one US Senator is as brave as any one of these 14. The majority of these brave 14 are women which indicates that my thesis (the average woman is braver and more compassionate than the average man) is correct. All 14 have been made (or will soon be made) Futuresavers. In addition to being a member of the heroic 14, Alcee Hastings has an impressive progressive record on the environment, health care, Medicare, Social Security, education, trade, Medicaid, women's rights, immigrants, small business, earned income credit, guns, family and medical leave, foreign policy, violence, executions, tax fairness, human rights, civil rights, affordable prescription drugs, safety, affordable housing, children's issues, veteran's rights, racial profiling, hate crimes, seniors, transportation, labor and on many other issues. For being one of the 14 most heroic legislators on the national scene and for otherwise doing the right thing for all of us, Alcee Hastings has been named Futuresaver of the Week.
