Lee Whitnum picture history

Candidate US Senate, D-CT

Lee in Washington protesting the Gaza massacre - Jan, 2009. The worst Israeli practice: Collective punishment on civilian populations. Imagine that your neighbor breaks a law, and tanks come in to level the entire neighborhood - houses with entire families in them. Just because you don't see it on our news doesn't mean it isn't happening.	Running for Congress - July, 2008. Lee lost in the primary to Congressman JIm Himes.
Sparring with Alan Dershowitz - April, 2008 If anyone spoke about Jews with the hatred to which Allen Dershowitz refers to the Christian and Muslim underclass (Palestinians) they would be shunned. This mainstream American is offended by this man and the double standard. Plus, Dershowitz never concedes a point and he isn't always accurate - which is another thing he will never concede. I tried to spar with him but they shut off my mike and tried to have me arrested. Ha. He's a dirtly street fighter and a blowhard who does this country a great disservice. Lee	Harvard Graduation

This meeting with Senator Dodd was so disappointing: he is so clearly in the pocket of AIPAC. He is part of the problem, one of the pandering politicians who are bought and sold. It was a sobering meeting. After our conversation I was obviously upset. He kept saying to me, "Smile Lee." I was too flabberguasted by what had happened to speak. Sir, I'll smile when I find one politician in D.C. who doesn't sell his soul to "Bibi," as you refer to him. No one - no one - is watching out for the best interests of the United States.

12-18-11 Update: Dear Senator Dodd, I am finally smiling because it finally happened: I found a politician in DC who doesn't sell his soul. This man is Congressman Brian Baird of Washington State.
