Elected officials support Barbara Lee

Terry S. Doran, President, Berkeley School Board
Saturday September 29, 2001

Editor: 

We support Barbara Lee’s courageous and moral stand in this moment of crisis and decision.  

The loss of life at the World Trade Center, in the destroyed aircraft, and at the Pentagon is a horrifying shock to the people of the United States and of the whole world. We are united in our intention to see that those responsible for organizing this criminal action are brought to justice. 

Congresswoman Lee has appropriately cautioned us. She voted against giving the Administration a blank check. We agree with her that this is not a conventional war and that an appropriate response will not be one that takes the lives of innocent people. 

We agree with Congresswoman Lee that “this crisis involves issues of national security, foreign policy, public safety, intelligence gathering, economics, and murder. Our response must be equally multifaceted. As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore.”  

Thank you, Barbara, for having the courage to speak these truths at the time that they most need to be spoken.
