Stephen F. Lynch was sworn in to the United States Congress in October 2001, following the passing of legendary Congressman John Joseph Moakley. His primary election took place on September 11, 2001.
The son of Francis Lynch, an ironworker, and Anne Lynch, a postal clerk, Stephen was born and raised in South Boston’s Old Colony Public Housing Development with his five sisters. While attending South Boston High School, Stephen joined his father as a member of Ironworkers Local 7 in Boston.
For eighteen years, he put on his work boots and climbed the iron, working as a structural ironworker. Working the high iron gave him a unique perspective. From the top of those skyscrapers, he never lost sight of the public housing project where he spent his childhood. He never lost sight of the lessons taught by hard working parents. And he never lost sight of the promise of America – that with courage, hard work and determination, anyone can go higher and further.
As an early testament to his leadership skills and commitment to serving working people, he was elected to serve as President of Ironworkers Local #7 - the youngest president in the history of the 2,000-member union. He went to school at night and on weekends to earn his Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management from Wentworth Institute of Technology.
Stephen continued his advocacy on behalf of working families through a second career as a labor and employment attorney, after receiving his law degree from Boston College Law School and being admitted to both the Massachusetts and New Hampshire Bars.
In 1994, Stephen’s experience in addressing the cares and concerns of working people transformed into a career in public service when his neighbors elected him to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. In just fourteen months, he was elected to the Massachusetts State Senate in a special election. He served as Chair of the Joint Committee on Commerce and Labor and led efforts to better safeguard worker rights and promote responsible business development in the Commonwealth. In 1999, he earned a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Stephen Lynch has a strong belief that government should work for the people it serves. He has an outstanding record of responding to the needs of his constituents and helping them to navigate through the red tape of government agencies. Whether it’s a missing social security check or assistance with housing, his office has earned a reputation as the place to go when you need help. Because of his reputation for standing up for people, his constituents have sent him back to Congress in overwhelming numbers, earning him the highest number of votes of any Congressman in Massachusetts – and 6th best in the nation.
Congressman Lynch has been a lifelong resident of his hometown of South Boston, where he and his wife Margaret are raising their daughter Victoria. Though he works in Washington during the week, he prides himself on his commitment to get home to the district when his votes in Congress are done, attends town meetings and stays in close touch with all of the cities and towns in the 8th district.

The State of Israel is one of our most important allies. I have consistently voted for robust foreign assistance funding to Israel, which has been critical in ensuring its security. I also believe we must continue advancing the peace process in the Middle East.
The best chance for peace is for both sides to return to talks and negotiate an agreement that will be acceptable to both the Israelis and Palestinians. The United States and the international community have important roles to play in encouraging an environment conducive to successful negotiations and a sustainable peace.

Quest for Camelot is a 1998 animated film from Warner Bros. Animation about a young woman named Kayley who wants to be a knight of the Round Table in Camelot like her father, a blind young man named Garrett who wishes only to be left alone, and their quest to find Excalibur. It is loosely based on the novel The King's Damosel by Vera Chapman.
[A Griffin crashes into the tower roof and lands on the round table with pieces of broken wood from the roof]
[The Griffin growls as King Arthur is about to reach Excalibur with his hand very slowly but the Griffin grabs Excalibur with his beak, ...]
[The Griffin breaks the whole tower roof while other Guards see the Griffin and shoot flamin[g] arrows, but to no avail, as The Griffin flies over the Gates of Camelot]
[The Griffin is flying above the Forbidden Forest with the sword in his talons, a glint of silver appears in the sky and Ayden - a silver winged Falcon attacks the Griffin, swoops away and attacks again, causing the Griffin to drop Excalibur in the forest below. ...]

There are lots of people that know there's a problem and want a solution but compromise their intellectual integrity to accept half-truths in a desperate but futile attempt to compromise with the believers and propagators of the big lie.
Not you, GreyLmist.
Thanks for being there.

Was recently studying the Anthrax Acts of War Post-9/11 and, you having posted here on Chemtrails, I thought you might be interested in this decades old info I found:
"The Army sprayed a toxic chemical over Minneapolis in a 1953 experiment that some residents fear may have caused health problems for them and birth defects in their children. The Army said it dispersed zinc cadmium sulfide to learn how toxic materials might disperse during biological warfare, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported Saturday. Norman Covert, an Army spokesman at Fort Detrick, Md., told the newspaper the defunct Biological Warfare Center conducted the tests in more than a dozen cities between 1950 and 1968.

There was a building on the base, Building 470 locally referred to as "Anthrax Tower". Building 470 was a pilot plant for testing optimal fermentor and bacterial purification technologies. The information gained in this pilot plant shaped the fermentor technology that was ultimately used by the pharmaceutical industry to revolutionize production of antibiotics and other drugs. Building 470 was torn down in 2003 without any adverse effects on the demolition workers or the environment. The facility acquired the nickname "Fort Doom" while offensive biological warfare research was undertaken there. 5,000 bombs containing anthrax spores were produced at the base during World War II.[8]
the 2001 Anthrax Attacks ... Although the anthrax preparations used in the attacks were of different grades, all of the material derived from the same bacterial strain. Known as the Ames strain, it was first researched at USAMRIID. The Ames strain was subsequently distributed to at least fifteen bio-research labs within the U.S. and six locations overseas.
Building 470 — also called the Pilot Plant, or sometimes “the Tower”, or “Anthrax Tower” — was a notorious seven-story steel and brick building at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, USA, used in the small-scale production of biological warfare (BW) agents. The building, a Cold War era structure, was transferred from the Department of Defense to the National Cancer Institute-Frederick (a unit of the National Institutes of Health) in 1988, to which it belonged until 2003 when it was demolished.
