Robin Vosburg

My Interests:

good books -- especially mysteries, good music -- especially blues and classic rock, good conversation -- especially with like-minded folk who share my progressive values, good movies -- especially screwball and romantic comedies, quiet drives in the countryside.

Political Skills:

Currently I am limited in what I can do by my family situation, but I do what I can. I send emails and faxes by computer on issues daily to my Fed reps. I call my Fed and State reps constantly. Send me an action alert, and I am all over it.

In the past I have organized, marched and demonstrated in the Bay Area in 67-71; locally I was active in the Kern Democratic Youth Caucus in 73-76 and was secretary of the Ad Hoc Committee to Impeach Governor Reagan in 66-67.

I could probably dredge up some of those skills again.

Favorite Quote:

“If President Bush is totally unapologetic and says I continue to maintain that as a wartime President I can do anything I want — I don’t need to consult any other branches — that is an impeachable offense,� -- Bruce Fein

“I think if we’re going to be intellectually honest here, this really is the kind of thing that Alexander Hamilton was referring to when impeachment was discussed.� -- Norman Ornstein

“The executive branch cannot unilaterally set the rules and enforce the rules, then eliminate court review of possible civil liberties violations. [Bush’s policy] makes a mockery of the principle of separation of powers.� -- Robert Levy

About Me:

I have beeen a progressive activist for 40 years, having gotten my start in my teens working against Reagan's campaign for Governor and the Vietnam War.

Currently I am a custodial grandmother, raising two teenage boys, one with an Autistic disorder, on SSI and Cal WORKs. Education and health care issues are very important to us.

I love my Constitution. I love my country. I hate the current administration and the way it is destroying both.
