Posted on August 8, 2008 - Filed Under 2008 Elections, Elizabeth Dole, Politics, Republicans, United States Senate | 2 Comments
It’s been two years, Senator Dole, since I delivered to you, through your surrogate Janet Bradbury, a list of questions. Ms. Bradbury assured me that I’d be contacted and receive answers to my questions, though she was reluctant to answer any herself.
What’s most shocking to me, though, is that in two years, you’ve never come [...]
Open Letter: Senator McCaskill, I want to email you, but you think I’m spam…

Dear Senator McCaskill,
Twice I’ve attempted to email you regarding House Concurrent Resolution 305 and twice you’ve told me that, while you “appreciate hearing” from me, “Unfortunately, your message was caught in Senate spam filters.” Your email recommends that I “…please submit your comments through the webform on my Senate website – http://mccaskill.senate.gov.” I did, Senator [...]

US Senate: Reason 1,001 to love Senator Byrd
Posted on July 3, 2008 - Filed Under Democrats, Politics, Republicans, United States Senate | 1 Comment
Anne Schroeder’s Shenanigans reports.
Bunning: “Regular order!”
Byrd: “Who said that?”
Bunning: “I did.”
Byrd: “Who are you?”
Bunning: “I’m a senator.”
Byrd: “You’re a great baseball man.”
Bunning: “I’m a senator, I have the same rights as you.”
Byrd: “Yeah man, you’re a senator.” [Ends by laughing hysterically at Bunning.]
Anybody got a YouTube of this?

Today, the U.S. Senate blocked the McCain-backed military education program.
The McCain/Graham plan calls for would give only $2,000 a month for service members that have more than 12 years of military service and was offered as an alternative to the much more effective Webb plan which would give service members 36 months of tuition, [...]

Lou (a Friend of Charles Darwin and mine, I hope) posted about recent events that have caused him to pull away from NC’s premier progressive online community and that’s when I really took [...]
Jim Neal for Senate Coming to Jacksonville
Posted on March 27, 2008 - Filed Under 2008 Elections, Activism, Democrats, United States Senate | Leave a Comment
Jim Neal is coming to Jacksonville on Friday, March 28th, for a campaign stop. He’ll be at the Beans CoffeeHouse at about noon.
Come out and visit with Jim. He’s likely the only Senatorial candidate you’ll be able to meet, ‘cuz, let’s be honest: Elizabeth Dole rarely visits NC.
