Barbara Boxer is the greatest American politician today. She has steadfastly stood up for the core progressive values of liberty, equality, justice, compassion, and truth, even when she has had to stand alone, and face overwhelming odds.

When numerous reports of voting irregularities and fraud in the 2004 U.S. presidential election in the pivotal State of Ohio started to emerge on weblogs and 'dissident' websites, when the mainstream media utterly failed to report, let alone investigate those stories, and the State and Federal Governments tried as hard as they could to cover up the truth of what had happened, it was Barbara Boxer who became the sole member of the U.S. Senate to demand accountability from the Republican establishment by signing a Congressional objection to the certification of Ohio's Electoral College votes on January 6, 2005, and articulating those concerns before a national audience.

When Condoleezza Rice was expecting a smooth and triumphant passage through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, it was Barbara Boxer who challenged her outright to admit to misleading the nation while taking part in the political campaign to sell the Bush Administration's criminal intent to invade Iraq, and advocating the use of torture against detainees.
