  1. As a Constituent and Female am very proud of our U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. It gave me great pleasured when she was referred as a “Wise Lantina” by President Barack Obama. Learning the facts about the case loads of cases under her belt and the Landmark cases and with a life story for other young girls to follow is “Un Orgullo” to say I am a Latina. I cannot way to read “Turning the pages: My Life Story” and read her legacy. Gracias por ser y thank you for allowing your Constituents to know you on a personal level.

  2. The Honorab Staff and Administrators of the Library of Congress:
