For the first time in
California history, an Independent Citizens Commission redrew the Congressional
Districts. Unfortunately, Congresswoman Waters faced neither a change nor
challenge to her constituency dominance. Featured on last week’s Torrance
Tribune cover, Congresswoman Maxine Waters has reigned in South Los Angeles for
twenty years. From raising taxes to threatening the nationalization of major
companies, no representative better typifies poor financial understanding mixed
with racial overtones than Waters.

Despite an easy
campaign, Waters advertised in a remarkably widespread fashion, posting in the Argonaut News as well as local South Bay
Papers. Now that she is in office, whose views will she represent? The same
impoverished policies which have diminished the opportunities of residents in
West Athens and Gardena, or the more freedom-loving and free market principles
of Torrance and Lomita, two new constituencies which she did not even bother to
visit during her “campaign” for the new 43rd Congressional District?

Congresswoman Waters’ record
should have disqualified her from running for office. In one Congressional
panel, she claimed that President Ronald Reagan flooded LA streets with drugs. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
ranked her as one of the most corrupt members of Congress. Two years ago,
Waters was under investigation for steering TARP funds toward one of her
husband’s banks. After that, she cried out “The TEA Party can go straight to
hell!” while pretending to ally the economic fears of her constituents in
Inglewood and South Los Angeles.
