	Free Rick Larsen! - Rep. Rick Larsen voted against starting the Iraq war. Why won’t he support ending the ...
		Larsen, and asking for a meeting, or a telephone conference, or a written response - to no avail. And in that same time period, there have been 8 arrests, 4 trespass orders, numerous protests, pleas and other futile attempts to get Mr.
		Larsen’s Washington staff, however not in the office but in the hall [no, we say], in the street [no, we say] and finally a public restaurant amid the clatter of coffee cups and a background of pop rock.
		Representative Rick Larsen was informed last year by the President of Iraq himself, that any plan to stabilize that country through the deployment of civilian police was an ill-fated endeavor.

	Council for a Livable World: Congressman Rick Larsen (D-WA)
		Larsen says "the greatest national security threat to the United States, particularly in this age of terrorism, is poorly secured weapons of mass destruction (WMD), WMD materials, and WMD expertise." He supports increased funding for programs that stem the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, such as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program.
		Larsen opposed the war in Iraq, and voted against the resolution to authorize the use of force.
		While Larsen is critical of the Bush administration's rush to war in Iraq and its subsequent handling of the war and the ensuing insurgency, he believes that the United States now has an obligation of the people of Iraq.

	The Left Shue: Rick Larsen (D - 2nd CD) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Perhaps my moment of greatest personal disappointment with Rick (this year) was his recent vote to approve the latest Rovian resolution in the House that basically declared that the invasion of Iraq was an integral part of the so-called War on Terror.
		Larsen, along with 41 other House Democrats broke ranks with the Democratic Caucus and gave in to the bullying of the neo-con majority who wrote the resolution in such a way that a “No” vote could be used politically as a “vote against the troops”.
		Rick’s consistent votes (as recently as last month) to repeal the Estate Tax, coupled with his vote in favor of the so-called Bankruptcy Reform Act leave him squarely outside the mainstream of his party.

	Rick Larsen a rare voice of moderation in Congress
		WASHINGTON -- Bombs and death were as common as oxygen when Rick Larsen and five other members of Congress slid quietly into Baghdad earlier this month for a ground-level view of a conflict that has fractured bodies and buildings in Iraq and public opinion in the United States.
		More than anything, Larsen said he went to Iraq to better understand where the country is and how to explain it to constituents who polls show are increasingly skeptical.
		Larsen also hopes his trips to Iraq will allow him to force a more civil debate in Congress about the conduct of the war and what the future holds.
