It was great to see former Rep. Pete McCloskey appearing in the trailer for the "Sacrificing Liberty" documentary along with being mentioned in the USS Liberty Veterans Association newsletter.  He got to the House by defeating Shirley Temple in his Bay Area district in a special election primary in 1967 and went on to co-author the Endangered Species Act.  He ran for president as a Republican in 1972 as the anti-war alternative to Nixon  -- and many of the Democratic candidates that year, come to think of it.  Now 93 years old, he served as a Biden elector in Sacramento in January.
