For most of us this is our introduction to Tom Udall’s important campaign in New Mexico. At stake is a Republican seat that we can take and turn Democrat. We need to support this campaign and take another seat to solidify our majority in the US Senate.

John McCain needs to get a grip. He’s either slipping a little or his mind is so filled with concern about his disorganized, constantly changing campaign that he can’t concentrate on the words coming out of his mouth.
Every day it seems, McCain drops out a comment that makes everyone stop for a moment in mid-stride, […]

From MSNBC:
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama started a campaign-season tour of combat zones and foreign capitals, visiting with U.S. forces in Kuwait and then Afghanistan — the scene of a war he says deserves more attention and more troops[…] “I’m more interested in listening than doing a lot of talking, and I think it’s very […]

The must read of the day today is this piece by Chris Hedges, in the L.A. Times: Stop the new FISA:
If the sweeping surveillance law signed by President Bush on Thursday — giving the U.S. government nearly unchecked authority to eavesdrop on the phone calls and e-mails of innocent Americans — is allowed to stand, we […]

I think the most fitting thing to say following up on Stuart’s earlier piece about Nancy Pelosi on Dennis Kucinich presenting a single Article of Impeachment against George W. Bush, to the House of Representatives, is “bring it on.”
I’m one who thinks this is long overdue. Sign Kucinich’s petition here.

Dennis Kucinich must have jumped for joy when Nancy Pelosi commented today that she thought his impeachment resolution may see committee hearings:
Kucinich is expected to offer a “privileged resolution” this afternoon calling on the House to look at whether President Bush should be removed from office for lying to Congress and the American public when […]

Hillary Clinton did not disappoint liberals on today’s FISA vote, but Barack Obama certainly did. I can’t even begin to imagine why Obama caved on this issue as boldly as he has but it’s beyond disappointing, especially for those of us who had worked so hard to get Hillary nominated. While Barack Obama voted “yes” on […]

On a day 232 years ago some very courageous men announced to the world a document of independence. These world changing concepts had never before been put on paper or celebrated publicly.
We celebrate their courage, intelligence and durability because their action was certainly controversial in the colonies. In this document that those colonies are […]
