Chuck Pennacchio for United States Senate 2006 Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's public relations offensive of yesterday, against the filibuster, is yet another maneuver to turn his Party's narrow electoral majorities of the 2004 election into a mandate for unlimited political control over all branches of our government. Every donation, large or small, helps to ensure Pennsylvania’s Democrats have a voice, and a choice, that represents their views while carrying our grassroots movement forward, towards building a statewide infrastructure that will win elections in 2006, 2008, 2010, and beyond. The 'nuclear option' is a radical effort by Republican Senate leaders hell-bent on consolidating all power at the expense of Democrats, majority opinion, minority rights, and our carefully crafted constitutional system of checks and balances. www.chuck2006.com /blog.asp   (3267 words)

For a candidate for US Senate from New York to piss off the NYPD in such a tasteless manner would seem to me to be a career killer. www.mydd.com /section/senate   (5719 words)
