(Rep. Solis is a fine Congresswoman who did us all a favor by challenging (and defeating) Rep. Martinez. – promoted by Brian Leubitz)

Just got word that Congresswoman Hilda Solis from Los Angeles is doing a live online chat on Saturday, June 23rd at 11am PST/2pm EST at firedoglake!

Solis is one of the most progressive leaders in the House and one of the party’s rising stars.

Congresswoman Hilda Solis of El Monte is participating in a bipartisan Congressional Delegation trip this week to Greenland, Germany, Great Britain and Belgium to meet with leading scientists and political leaders working on solutions to combat global warming. 

“I am privileged to have the opportunity to see firsthand the economic and environmental impact of global warming, as well as the actions our allies are already taking to address this global challenge,” said Congresswoman Solis. “This information is valuable as Congress considers legislation to address global warming.  This serious issue must be solved with international cooperation and innovative solutions.”

She is blogging during her trip at the Speaker’s Blog, The Gavel. I’m glad to see one of our own in SoCal taking a lead on this issue.
