Tim Cunha's campaign still hasn't gotten the national attention of some of the other FL districts. But at R+08 his district was already right on the boarder of winnable this year.

A excerpt from Tim's proposal for the economic crisis:

Unlike recent schemes, this “Save America” stimulus plan would not facilitate thoughtless spending for a minor short-term effect. Under this plan, every American adult citizen would receive a portion of the one trillion dollar market bailout in the form of an investment account of two to three thousand dollars which could be wisely invested in local banks, real estate trusts, or stock market index funds.

For an overview of the plan:Tim's Save America Plan.

The full text of Tim's call out of Same Ol' Stearns is below the jump. Or click here:Same Ol' Stearns.

And please consider contributing to the campaign for the final push for a "more AND better Democrat".

For Tim Cunha, as a Democrat in a R+08 district, this race is no an easy task. But Republican Clifford Stearns may be caught misappropriating gov't. funds. Race details in the extended entry.

Mr. Cunha asks his constituents to "Confront him [Sterans] at 'Town Meetings' in Marion County" and not "let him [Sterans] evade the tough questions."

Excerpts are below the fold or see the full article here.

Move on just sent out an email asking people who they support. If more than 2/3 of the responses are for one candidate or the other, they will endorse that candidate. I'm curious as to what impact this will have. It seems that that people involved in MoveOn are probably already committed (being those more closely following the race). What do you think?

The original email follows.

I just got an email from the Dodd campaign that looks like it was an accidental email. Did anyone else get it?

My first inclination is that it was an accidental leak. What do you think? Full email is below the fold.

When ideologues trash science and the scientific process it is not news. But when disseminators of scientific knowledge do it, it is appalling.

Our democracy is in danger. We must reform the way we finance political campaigns to ensure the most vibrant democracy possible. Are these statements sensationalist? I believe they are not. Is having our candidate pool restricted to the financial elite or politically connected the best path to a vibrant democracy? I believe it is not. Is the solution to this problem one that is elusive and difficult? I believe it is not.

Many citizens are restricted from running for elected office simply due to lack of access to the funds needed to be a viable candidate. This affects all of us, no matter our party affiliation. There is a bi-partisan effort in congress to fix this problem. The Fair Elections Now Act put forth by Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Congressman John Tierney (D-MA) is a step in the right direction; however, there is a critical subtlety that, if addressed, can make this bill the hallmark campaign finance reform bill of the modern political era: The limits on the matching funds the government will provide must be eliminated.

Read how this can be achieved simply and transparently below the jump.

No. It is a step in the right direction, but there are a number of loop holes that must be fixed.
