Jodie Evans, a member of Code Pink and a bundler for Barack Obama according to his website, was part of a group of activists that met with Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Wednesday September 24, 2008.

Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin, both Code Pink members, joined other activists in a meeting with Iranian officials, including Ahmadinejad.

Evans is listed under the "Who are Senator Obama's bundlers?" listed as "Raising from $50,000 to $100,000."

Jodie Evans co-hosted Barack Obama's first major fundraiser in Hollywood in February of 2007 as reported by Canada Free Press and other media outlets.

According to Evans’ Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin, Evans is on a first name basis with Obama and discussed Iraq policy with Obama at another Hollywood fundraiser on June 24, 2008.

Evans was also a guest at another fundraising dinner as recently as September of 2008 according to Hollywood Insider which provides a list of the guests.

Evans has also stated her agreement with Osama bin Laden’s motives for attacking America on September 11, 2001 in an interview broadcast June 3, 2008:


Jodie Evans:..."We were attacked because we were in Saudi Arabia, that was the message of Osama, was that because we had our bases in the Middle East, he attacked the United States.”

Paul A. Ibbetson: “Do you think that’s a valid argument?”

Evans: “Sure. Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?”

Also in that interview, Evans said Code Pink’s goal is to “undermine the war effort (of the United States") and that she wished Saddam Hussein was still in power.

Toward that goal, Evans has worked with the governments of Saddam Hussein (in 2003), Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers, as well as pro-insurgent elements in the Middle East.

Evans was one of the two women removed from the Republican National Convention after trying to disrupt Sarah Palin's speech, as reported by Twin Cities. com, dated before Evans attended the September fundraising dinner for Barack Obama.
