Oh I know her ... I met her once on a convention in DC. I actually liked her and if she would have run for Congress again I would have surely supported her as staff member. But I don't think she remembers a slight light like mine Anyway it's Willo's first attempt to do a female character *g* looking forward to it.

I'm not sure if who you're referring to, as the photo and character are sort of a conglomeration, but thanks anyway :-)

Well what in said was fiction I meant that because Sarah is in the political buisness there could have been the possibility of knowing her.

Since everyone else seems to post pictures for flashback characters, and this one will be a major player in Maxine's flashbacks, here we go: Rep. Rufus Cale, D, Vermont. Democratic Leadership, US House of Representatives.

Maxine stormed into the office of Representitve Cale, the noise sending a porcilin item off a shelf and to the ground, shattering it. Cale looked up to see the angry black woman putting her arms on his desk and seeming ready to pick the antique off the ground and throw it.
"What in the hell is this about?" Maxine shouted.
"It's a meeting with the leadership," he said.
"It's bulls-"
"HEY!" he shouted. "We are in the Capitol Building, and I expect us to conduct outselves as civilized people, even if I'm the only person who still feels that way in this entire government!"
"This is... this is an outrage, Rufus. And you know it!"
"What are you talking about?"
"This meeting, the one you're going to?"
"We're meeting to discuss the situation in California."
"In MY District!"
"It's not just your district," Cale said, getting up from his desk and moving over to the object that had fell, frowing, before grabbing his coat off the wall.
"These are MY people, Rufus, I should be there!"
"I'm sure the President considered that, I guess he felt I could speak for you!"
"This wasn't a concern," Maxine said, maniging to look red through her black skin. "This was a snub and you know it!"
"Maxine..."
"You can't speak for my people... You're from Vermont! How many black people you got in your state, Rufus? Five?"
"REPRESENTITVE BROWN!" Cale shouted. "You are out of line!"
"People are dieing, Rufus," Maxine said, on the verge of tears. "They're dieing because they don't feel like they have a voice, and that this is the only way we will listen to them. And you want to know what the sad thing about that is? They're wrong. We won't even listen to them then, because the only thing they're distroying is themselves. We still won't listen, Rufus."
He looked at her, and paused, letting silence fill the room. He looked back into the ground at the pieces of broken porcilin.
"You broke my porcilin bust of Martin Luther King. That was a gift from a constituant. She's 80, and made it by hand."
"I'm sorry," she said, clearly not.
"I have to go to this meeting," he said, looking at her.
"I'll see you there," she said, and headed for the door.
