#1 ...When I lived in Cleveland I never agreed with her politics, but she genuinely tried hard to help her constituents. She'll be missed back there.

#2 Representative Tubbs Jones was apparently the first black woman to win a seat in Congress from Ohio. She was a strong Clinton supporter, and would have been a superdelegate in Denver. May her memory bring comfort to those many whose lives she touched.

#5 GDLotA9226, any particular reason for the vitriol? She sounds like a hard-working person who served her constituents.

Read post number 3. She was bloody socialist/commie! I don't care how hard he worked, she was working to spread a vile ideology.
