In November 2010, 16 congressional Democrats met – either personally or through their respective staffers – with three supporters of the Marxist-Leninist Freedom Road Socialist Organization/FightBack (FRSO/FB). Those supporters of FRSO/FB, representing the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, expressed their condemnation of “the FBI raids and grand jury subpoenas of people doing international solidarity work and anti-war organizing.” It was reported that Baldwin and her 15 colleagues in Congress expressed "genuine concern" about the situation.

The full list of Representatives who arranged for meetings with the Marxist-Leninist activists were: Tammy Baldwin, John Conyers, Danny Davis, Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, Luis Gutierrez, Michael Honda, Jesse Jackson Jr., Dennis Kucinich, Barbara Lee, Jim McDermott, Jim McGovern, Bobby Rush, Linda Sanchez, Jan Schakowsky, and Maxine Waters.
