Crist for Congress

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, [...]

Any truth to this story about Kucinich?

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 [...]

in the spirit of the season, i would like to say BITE ME

It is obvious he no longer cares about his constituents at all [...]

More Fallout from Baird’s Pro-Surge Stance

Baird’s war turn blew “any chance” of Iraq “compromise.”
In August, Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) returned from a two-day trip to the war-torn country, proclaiming that “real progress” was being made and that the escalation should be extended “at least into early next year.” Baird touted his new position on the war with a conservative media [...]

This last Tuesday he spoke about the legislation to provide immunity to the telecoms for turning over phone records since BEFORE 911 to the NSA. Representative Baird’s interview begins at 15:40 in this segment with a discussion [...]

What to do about our “Bush Democrats”

With Bush’s approval rating at 24%, it is a miracle of modern politics that the Democrats in Congress are still aiding and abetting his policies and illegal activities. What can you do about this? As Rob Call points out below, you can start by not giving the DCCC or any of the the [...]

“Your congressional district, like it or not, is in the national spotlight,” said Tom Andrews, a former Democratic [...]
