Yesterday afternoon Pennsylvania 06 Candidate Lois Murphy filed a formal Complaint to the Federal Elections Commission against Congressman Jim Gerlach for repeated, flagrant violations of Federal Campaign Finance Law, citing numerous violations and potential violations.

The PA-06 was the closest contested Congressional race in the country in 2004 and promises to be very competitive, again, in 2006. Lois Murphy is well poised to deny this District to the GOP.

You can read the entire Complaint here.

FEC reports exist so we, the public, can see who has contributed to the campaigns of our elected officials. They serve to shine the light on conflicts of interests, special interest influence, and prevent overt quid pro quos from being concealed.

Representative Joseph Pitts, PA-16 may have a primary challenge in 2006 from a fellow Republican. Pitts was elected in 1995 with a pledge of obeying the term limits included in the Contract With America. He agreed he would serve only ten years. He announced four years ago that he would break that Contract with the voters and people of the Sixteenth Congressional District.

According to the Lancaster Sunday News, this was partly the result of an agreement between Chester County resident Pitts and the Lancaster County Republican Party. The vast bulk of this District lies in Lancaster County, and the agreement was that Pitts' successor after ten years would be a Lancasterian.

One of my activities is with our local Kutztown (PA) Area Democratic Club. This group formed in August 2004 after an appearnace here by our Dear Lieder George W. Bush. It's a very activist group with an amazing collection of members who are very committed to change.

Several members of the Club

, especially Dennis and Sylvia Baylor, have developed a special 2006 calendar featuring our favorite U.S. Senator, Rick Santorum. This calendar is available at the KADC website. You can access the KADC online store here.

Congressman Jim Gerlach, Republican representing Pennsylvania's Sixth District, last week illustrated how a man without a spine behaves. Mr. Gerlach sold his spine to Congressman Tom DeLay's PAC Americans for a Republican Majority in return for $30,000 in campaign contributions.

The Kos community has been justifiably consumed by the Plame affair and everything it means. Treason, espionage, cover-ups, the whole thing. It's a true buffet of scandals and reaches to the highest levels of the Administration.

There's an even bigger story in here though. The reason they tried to trash Joe Wilson: the attempt to silence the leaks coming from the CIA. These leaks were undermining the Bush Administrations line of lies about why there were no weapons of mass destruction. It is proof that they lied us into war.

Kyra Phillips, the White House toady who berated Nancy Pelosi online and inserted her own personal opinion during the interview, was just on reviewing the controversy.

After running a clip of the controversy she began reading some of the emails. One, from a Marina, (I believe from New Paltz, N.Y.) said CNN should get rid of Kyra or lose her as a viewer.

Kyra's terse response: Goodbye Marina. Read More

President George W. Bush, in countless campaign appearances and news conferences, has repeated this mantra: "My job is to protect the American people." Well, George, that is a very important part of your job.

"My job is to protect the American people." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/03/20030306-8.html)

"...my job is to protect the American people. It's my most important job, most important assignment I have. And I will continue to do that, regardless of the season."

In 2001, FEMA predicted that the three most dangerous threats to the country were: a massive earthquake in San Francisco, a terrorist attack in New York City, and a major hurricane hitting New Orleans. Read More

According to statistics and and information provided by the Bush Administration and the Pentagon, the U.S. should be fully withdrawn from Iraq by October 21, 2006.

President Bush refuses to say when we will withdraw, saying timelines will only aid our enemies. His own Administration, however, has announced this with statements and data it has released.

As much as we're all getting caught up in the Karl Rove story, let's remember what this is really about: treason. George W. Bush got caught lying to the American people in his State of the Union message about Iraq's nuclear weapons program. This was one of his major reasons for attacking a country which posed no direct and immediate threat to our national security.

All the rest of this is the fallout from those infamous words. Therefore, as tempting as it is to try and hang Rove, let's not stray from the most important part of the scandal. All this talk about Rove is deflecting the discussion away from President Bush and his lies. Read More

MoveOn PAC and Casey: The Rigged Endorsement Poll

Last month Adam Ruben of MoveOn PAC sent an email to its Pennsylvania members asking them to vote in a secret poll. This "poll" would determine who MoveOn would endorse, Bob Casey or Chuck Pennacchio.

We now know the "poll" was a fraud, perpetrated by the married couple of Adam Ruben and Sarah DiJulio. Adam works for MoveOn and his wife is consulting for the Casey campaign.

Even though Casey is against a woman's right to choose, expanded stem cell research, banning oil drilling in ANWR, sensible gun safety laws, and is for "staying the course in Iraq," Ruben's email used an out of context quote from Howard Dean to imply that Casey was the progressive choice.

Here is the email sent by Adam Ruben:
