 Metroactive News & Issues | Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey
Woolsey immediately went into action, penning a letter to Ridge insisting that he "take no further steps to postpone this year's presidential election." She circulated the letter in the House, and by July 15, 191 of her colleagues--190 Democrats and Texas Republican Ron Paul--had signed on.
Woolsey's concerns about the color-coded alert system and DHS in general are more practical than political: the alert system just doesn't seem to work that well, and DHS is diverting scarce resources from preventative measures that could do a better job stopping terrorist attacks.
Woolsey is particularly concerned that neither DHS nor the Bush administration has done little to increase funding for local area responders.

 Vote Record and Cosponsorship Rating for Representative Lynn Woolsey of CA in the 109th Congress
Woolsey has taken the principled step of formally lending support to H.R., which would put an end to the practice of "extraordinary rendition." This is a practice in which Bush Administration officials send people into the custody of certain nations, knowing full well (some would say intending) that they will be tortured there.
Woolsey has taken the affirmative step of cosponsoring H.R., which would provide more information to the public about contacts between lobbyists and politicians, and which would slow down the revolving door of politics in which politicians move into cushy corporate jobs after they retire in exchange for favors.
Lynn Woolsey has cosponsored H.R., which would keep members of the Federal Communication Commission from using their appointed positions to censor cable, satellite or internet programs they consider to be indecent.

Cindy Sheehan was the guest of Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-CA, at the State of the Union last night.
Sheehan was subsequently detained and arrested for charges relating to her wearing of a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and keeping it covered it up until she took her seat.
Whether or not Woolsey knew Sheehan would behave the way she did (and I for one believe she probably isn't that stupid to think Sheehan would not have behaved that way), she should still be held responsible for her actions.
