2006 Candidates | 2006 Elections | Harold Ford | Jon Tester | Ned Lamont | Democratic politics
We're just two days from the most important fundraising deadline in the 2006 elections, and I wanted to write to you about three candidates who will help change the course in Congress and in America: Jon Tester (MT-Sen), Harold Ford, Jr. (TN-Sen), and Ned Lamont (CT-Sen).
Jon Tester
|
Today, I am in Montana to support one of our strongest candidates to take over a Republican-held Senate seat, Jon Tester. Jon is an organic farmer from Big Sandy, MT, and for the last eight years has also been a State Senator and is currently the President of the Montana State Senate.
Jon is running against one of the worst Senators in Congress, Republican Conrad Burns. Burns received nearly $150,000 from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates, with Abramoff himself being quoted in Vanity Fair as saying, "Every appropriation we wanted from Senator Conrad Burns' committee we got." And what Senator tells a team of fire fighters who had traveled to Montana from Virginia to fight a major forest fire that they were "doing a piss-poor job"?
Montana is a state that President Bush carried by 20 points in 2004, yet Jon Tester is leading in the polls because of his authentic representation of Montana values.
Plus ça change....

Barack Obama | Barney Frank | DLC | Harold Ford | Democratic politics

Barney Frank has been bending over backwards in his quest to get Corporate America to finally see the light.
But sometimes Barney can be too conciliatory. Last week, despite the continuing increase in foreclosures around the country, he removed from the FM support bill a $4Bil program to help banks cope with the foreclosure flood brought about by their own unethical machinations because Republicans objected that it was - say it with me, now - "too expensive" and Bush - here he goes again - threatened to veto it. Maxine Waters - a *STAR* - made him put it back.
