Dianne Feinstein's reply to constituents' opposition to EARN IT act
Dianne Feinstein is the absolute worst, especially on these issues, but also many others. I don&#x27;t know how she keeps getting elected.

In 2006, she co-sponsored the &quot;PERFORM Act&quot;, or the &quot;Platform Equality and Remedies for Rights Holders in Music Act of 2006&quot;, in the Senate, which would require satellite, cable and internet broadcasters to incorporate digital rights management technologies into their transmission<p>Feinstein on marijuana:<p>* Feinstein has a &quot;C-&quot; rating from NORML for her voting history regarding cannabis-related causes. She considers marijuana a &quot;gateway drug&quot;, and has opposed the legalization of medical marijuana without further research<p>* Feinstein voted in support of legislation to override a Department of Veterans Affairs&#x27; prohibition on allowing doctors to recommend cannabis to veterans in states that sanction its use as a medicine.<p>Supporting pork-barrel farm subsidies for her constituents:<p>* In March 2019, Feinstein was one of thirty-eight senators to sign a letter to United States Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue warning that dairy farmers &quot;have continued to face market instability and are struggling to survive the fourth year of sustained low prices&quot; and urging his department to &quot;strongly encourage these farmers to consider the Dairy Margin Coverage program.<p>Not understanding how markets work:<p>* In May 2011, Feinstein was one of seventeen senators to sign a letter to Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler requesting a regulatory crackdown on speculative Wall Street trading in oil contracts, asserting that they had entered &quot;a time of economic emergency for many American families&quot; while noting that the average retail price of regular grade gasoline was $3.95 nationwide. The senators requested that the CFTC adopt speculation limits in regard to markets where contracts for future delivery of oil are traded<p>Knowingly employing Chinese spies:<p>* On July 27, 2018, reports surfaced that a Chinese staff member who worked as Feinstein&#x27;s personal driver, gofer and liaison to the Asian-American community for 20 years, was caught reporting to China&#x27;s Ministry of State Security.[95][96] According to the reports, Feinstein was contacted by the FBI five years ago warning her about the suspected employee. The employee was later interviewed by authorities and forced to retire by Feinstein.[97] No criminal charges were filed against the individual.[95]<p>Sourced from:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dianne_Feinstein#Political_positions" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dianne_Feinstein#Political_pos...</a>
