Barbara Boxer
The Public Record
Barbara Boxer is a former United States Senator from California, serving from January 5, 1993, to January 3, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 3, 1983, to January 5, 1993. Throughout her political career, Boxer was known for her strong advocacy on environmental issues, women's rights, and healthcare reform. She played a significant role in various legislative efforts, including those aimed at addressing climate change and protecting public health.

Well, I'm encouraged that you support the FCC's principles. I just don't know why you wouldn't want them to have the authority to address the problem.
Dick Cheney said, 'Everyone who was briefed just went along with this, They were told; no one complained.' That is a falsehood on its face; it's absolutely a falsehood.
We wanted to swear them in. It was Ted Stevens and Pete Domenici who were very verbal.
It was WMD, period. That was the reason and the causation for that, you know, particular vote.
I think it just shows that this is not an issue that you feel very comfortable with.
We will lose credibility. So I hope you can think about that as you, I believe, will try to restore credibility for this country.
I hope if nothing else Dr. Rice now gets the difference between her role as the National Security Advisor where she wasn't in any way responsible to come before Congress, but went to the American people and sold a war.
First of all, Charles Duelfer said, and I quote--here it is--I ask unanimous consent to place in the record Charlie Duelfer's report.
So a lack of candor in the past is bad enough. And here we have a continuing assault on reality.
