Crist for Congress Campaign
The Peace Candidate
I will be in Vancouver on Saturday, March 29, for the Young Democrats convention. It will be at the Hilton, 9am to 5pm, and most of the time I will be at a table in the hall near the pine/spruce room. If you [...]
Crist for Congress
The Peace Candidate
Dear Friends of Peace and Universal Not-for-profit Health Care:
As you may know, the two main issues that I talk about are ending the cruel occupation of Iraq and universal single-payer, not-for-profit health care. As I’ve been talking with and listening to voters for over two months now, [...]
I was up most of the night with L., who is in the midst of his first unresponsive-to-medication migraine. Three Tylenol 3s and 6 ibuprofen later, and he’s just comfortable enough to veg out on the sofa watching The Cat Returns.
So, I took this morning off, and J. took off this afternoon so he [...]
It would be nice if Dennis Kucinich would confirm or deny this story from OpEd News and Portland Indymedia. If there is any truth to these allegations, it would explain quite clearly why our representatives in Congress are so unwilling to stand up for us, “the people”.
There is a report circulating the web that [...]
Even when you expect a piss-poor stimulus package, our democratic leaders can still limbo lower.
Pelosi and Reid got out their kneepads again, giving the GOP thugs the store while eeking out miniscule help for the working poor and the middle class in an economic stimulus package that will not put money into any individual’s pocket [...]
D4V readers should know that Senator Murray has taken another step to help improve our education system and give high school students greater opportunities to learn about good local careers and win scholarships to pay for post-secondary training. The federal budget includes the following appropriation, thanks to Senator Murray’s work.
In-Demand Scholars –$ 383,186
This funding [...]
and so should you.

to all of those who voted for that Christmorgasmic resolution in Congress - on the penultimate night of Chanukkah! Maybe they’ll celebrate the wonders of that holiday on the 12th Day of Christmas.
Please take time to thank the 9 who had the guts to vote against this unconstitutional travesty (and monumental waste of time):
Rep. [...]
Big Corporations:
A bipartisan group of Congressmen (and one woman) yesterday introduced a major bill aimed at boosting US intellectual property laws and the penalties that go along with them. While much of the legislation targets industrial counterfeiting and knockoff drugs, it also allows the government to seize people’s computers. The Prioritizing Resources and Organization for [...]
You’ve probably already heard about the almost-reasonable-sounding House Resolution 1955 (a/k/a Senate Bill 1959): the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. We all want to prevent Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, don’t we? Anyone who doesn’t must want the terrorists to win! You freedom-hater, you!
Or so it must have [...]
Go out and buy a car this year and save $600 on your taxes. That is the message being touted by Senator Cantwell and Representative Baird
Income tax forms
at Vancouver Ford yesterday as spewed by our local newspaper’s article, “Residents Reminded of Sales Tax Break”.
Here are a few facts our residents were not reminded about [...]
Our U.S. Congressman Rep. Brian Baird, who was against the war but now is for the Iraq occupation, joined a small minority of House Democrats and voted against the war funding bill yesterday which calls for a withdrawal by December 15, 2008.
