		Dorgan's opponent, Mike Liffrig of Mandan, has tried to make a campaign issue out of Dorgan's interview in the Michael Moore film "Fahrenheit 9/11."

		BYRON DORGAN: First of all, we have a legislative review capability that we can actually veto a rule, and I intend to see if we can find a way to do that.
		BYRON DORGAN: I'd get rid of the 45 percent on television broadcasting and bring it back to 35 percent of the national population, get rid of the cross-ownership; essentially take those things out of this ruling that I think move away from diversity, away from localism, away from concentration.

		Dorgan said his plan—the Rural Broadband Enhancement Act (RBEA)—would spur delivery of Internet broadband services to rural areas allowing them to participate fully in the emerging digital economy reshaping American commerce.

		Dorgan’s plan would make available $3 billion for a revolving loan fund, over five years, which would provide capital for low interest loans to finance construction of the needed broadband infrastructure.

	David Sirota \| The Prairie Populist: Byron Dorgan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan is a popular Democrat from a very "red" rural state.
		In the book, Dorgan takes on Washington's bipartisan consensus on trade issues, detailing how politicians of both parties are betraying ordinary Americans by pushing "free" trade pacts written by corporate lobbyists.
		Since being elected to the House in 1980, where he served six terms before being elected to the Senate in 1992, Dorgan has taken on both Republicans and Democrats who have sold out to corporate interests on trade deals; for his trouble, he has been berated by his colleagues and ignored by the media.

	The Dorgan Smear \| TPMCafe
		Dorgan's letter noted that the Mississippi Choctaw, one of Abramoff's clients, had successfully used the program and requested lawmakers consider long-term funding for it.
		Dorgan sent the letter mentioning the Choctaws in February 2002 so it looks like he probably got the check first and then wrote the letter.
		Maybe Byron used the Mississippi Choctaw in his letter because they WERE an example of a tribe that had used the program successfully.....and none of the tribes in North Dakota had done so.

		While Dorgan claims to be an innocent victim here, the act of returning that money hardly removes the conflict of interest that exists with Dorgan leading the investigation of Abramoff's dealings with the tribes.
