Former US Representative John Seiberling has died

[ladym55]

John Seiberling was a true progressive ... smart, classy, informed, and passionate. He fought tirelessly for environmental issues throughout his life. In later years, he was a vocal opponent to any drilling in the Alaskan wildlife refuge. He loved the Akron area and was instrumental in creating the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area.

He was a peacemaker, and after his retirement from Congress, worked with the Center for Peace Studies at The University of Akron.

And in 1974, he was on the Judiciary Committee. He wasn't intimidated by the word "impeach."

2. There are so few "good guys" left.

I was gone over the weekend, and your post is the first news about this I've read. Thank you, and may he rest in peace, knowing he did everything he could.
