It's a Fluke

 

  

Sandra Fluke moves closer to run for Congress

LOS ANGELES, CA, February 4, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Former Obama surrogate Sandra Fluke has moved one step closer to running for Congress. The Democratic Party of California lists Fluke as having officially filed to run, though a spokesperson for the “women's rights” activist says the step is merely preliminary, in case Fluke decides to run.

Fluke has been discussed as a possible candidate for retiring Representative Henry Waxman's (D-CA) seat. Waxman held his seat for 40 years, but announced last Thursday he was retiring at the end of the current session of Congress.

A Georgetown college law student when she came to national prominence two years ago, Fluke has continued her activism for Democratic Party issues since the end of the 2012 campaign. Her Twitter page shows support for a higher minimum wage, support for more minorities and homosexuals in public office, and greater government spending on education.

After initially coming to fame after testifying to Congress about why taxpayers should provide contraception for American women, Fluke was criticized by talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh called Fluke a “slut,” and after a firestorm apologized for his words. Fluke subsequently campaigned for President Obama during his re-election campaign, where she drew small and lackluster crowds. She also spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The race to replace Waxman is likely to include several candidates, including State Senator Ted Lieu. Lieu introduced Senate Bill 1172, which makes restorative sexual therapy for minors illegal. He said the bill was intended as an “attack on parental rights...because we don’t want to let parents harm their children.”
