Talk:Anna Eshoo/Archive 1

Don't Delete Article
Hi,

I think this article is worth keeping in part because she was elected by her colleagues as an At-Large Democratic Whip in the 108th Congress in 2003-present. This is second only to Nancy Pelosi and technically, if Pelosi were not available Anna Eshoo would have the role of Minority Whip, which is a high position. You may note that often Pelosi will counter the President's State of the Union speeches. So, please consider those before you delete the article.

Anna Eshoo continues to be making policy via bills on technology and innovation. I have updated the article to reflect some of the technological contributions she has made as a legislator that have gone worldwide.

I will update the article to have more of the up to date things including a critical article on nominating the Falun Gong's founder for a noble peace price. Which she later with drew due to the founder’s belief about Gays and bi-racial individuals.

So, please don't delete this article...please view the article with the updated material and see that she is an interesting person, life long politico and influential on cultural spectrum of our society.

Regards, TalkAbout

Who asked that this article be deleted? Could that person discuss this first before proceeding?

See points above before considering such permanent action.

"Heart of Silicon Valley"
That really isn't true, San Jose is "the heart of Silicon Valley" and is part of Mike Honda and Zoe Lofgren's districts. I guess the previous writer is not a local? BRivera


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley
 * Silicon Valley is the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California in the United States. The term originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually became a metonym for all the high tech businesses in the area.


 * User BRivera Please view the wikipedia article so you can get a handle on it. You don't have to live there, one could very well be in England or Scotland and know these thing via research.TalkAbout 21:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Mike Honda's or Zoe Lofgren's districts should have "the heart of Silicon valley" description based on that reasoning too. Calling my district (Pete Stark's includes Fremont, Newark, and Union City) the "heart of silicon valley" uses the same incorrect reasoning, for example. However, Eshoo's district does include Palo Alto, where Hewlett-Packard was found, so it was the "birth of Silicon Valley." BRivera

The map at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California%27s_18th_congressional_district shows that the 18th district may contain part of East San Jose, but clearly does not contain the cities of Mountain View, Redwood City, or Palo Alto, which are to the west of this mostly- Central Valley district. This article claims that these cities lie within her district, so either the article or the map is in error.

Wrong Information Here, Tom Campbell - not John Doolittle
There is a serious error that I can not change. Representative Eshoo was preceeded by Tom Campbell, not John Doolittle in Congress

Armenian American
"She is currently the only Assyrian American member of Congress and one of two Armenian American members of Congress." - would be nice to mention who is the second one. Chaldean 19:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Committees and subcommittees
Our committee information is out of date, because e.g. we have "ranking member" when now the Dems are the majority party. MilesAgain (talk) 01:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Problems with line about H.R. 3321
Complete noob, here, so I'll just report what I found and ask someone more experienced what to do. Please excuse any noob rudeness, it's unintentional.

There are a couple of problems with the line "Click here to download a copy of Eshoo's floor statement on H.R. 3321, the New Direction for Energy Independence Act." First, and simplest to fix, in the Eshoo statement linked to, it's 3221, not 3321. A simple typo. However, the Library of Congress' Thomas site says here http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:H.R.3221: that, "Previously H.R. 3221 was the New Direction for Energy Independence, National Security, and Consumer Protection Act." H.R. 3221 wound up being titled "A bill to provide needed housing reform and for other purposes" instead. It had the previous title when she made that floor statement. Which prevails?

NPOV
The article is tagged as pov but there is no further explanation about that in the talk page. I will remove the tag until a satisfactory reason is given.--  R a f y  talk 16:19, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
