Most everyone here will agree with me that the tide is turning in our favor politically. Being underfunded, undermanned, and completely shut out of any type of dialogue, the democrats are up against the wall. How can we be 0 for 3 in the branches of the government, but now seem to be controlling a royal flush? It is simple, we have the right issues. ....now it is time to aggressively frame the issues.

China and Japan today have introduced a resolution in the UN claiming that the United States has weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical and biological weapons capable of being delivered to any area of the globe within 15 minutes. They also claim in their resolution that intelligence shows, despite vast denial from key states such as Great Britain, Tonga, Italy, and Australia, prisoners are being tortured at will and possibly killed. Some places noted in the intelligence report include Guantanamo Bay in Cuba as well as other installations globally. The United States in response today claims that the UN Secretary General lied about his involvement with the oil-for-food scandal so therefore, there is no way any of this action can be substantiated.

ND Republican Governor John Hoeven is meeting this week in Washington with Karl Rove. But guess what, Hoeven told the media it has nothing to do with politics or a run against our terrific Sen. Conrad.
http://www.kxma.com/news/local.asp?ID=5380

Hoeven is a liar.

I have called several times already today to inform him it is not nice to lie to the people of the great state of North Dakota. I am asking all Kossacks out there to do the same thing. Here is the contact information:::

e-mail to governor at state.nd.us
or by phone to 701-328-2200
or by fax to 701-328-2205

please tell them that what Gov. Hoeven is doing is using taxpayers dollars to fund trips to Washington for his own personal gain. Many politicians have been brought down because of this. Make sure to use a Minot or Bismarck or Grand Forks or Fargo address as well. Read More

The posterboy for the US Senate on the republican side, one Mr. Mark Kennedy had his name in the Strib today. The STrib listed the assets/liabilities of all of the potential candidates for the US Senate. Check out the war chest Mr. Kennedy has....

http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2005/05/27_ap_senatefinances/

He listed liabilities totaling between $350,000 to $750,000, including a mortgage and home equity loan.

hmmmm his assets are no more than $650,000 and he owes just as much. Where is his warchest?????? It is going to take millions to beat the
Democratic candidate whoever he/she is. To be in debt from last election does not bode well for the hand picked puppet of the Bushie Administration and 1-term Gov. Pawlenty. Oh how sweet this is. Read More

Breaking news. Gov. Pawlenty proposing a 75 cent per pack "FEE" on cigarettes to help balance the budget.

Please contact the Gov. Office and ask them how do they spell the word TAX. That is what it is. It is a tax.

tim.pawlenty@state.mn.us, or fax (651) 296-2089

Gov. Pawlenty promised not to raise taxes at all. This is a blatant tax increase. This was released at 5:30 pm eastern time.

It is great when Pres. Bush, trying to improve his ratings....schedules a photo op to celebrate Earth Day in the Smoky Mountains..one of the most polluted national parks in the US. Unfortunately for Bushie, Mother Nature said no way, go away. Enjoy!!!!!

President Bush,
It is great for you to do everything in your power to protect the sanctity of life. We appreciate it. However, there are 2 laws in the United States we would like you to have the legislative branch take up immediately. Our goal is to have these 2 pieces of legislation signed into law no later than May 1st, 2005. The first act below the fold.... Read More

It is official. On Yahoo's news stories the following:

Bush Sets Up Social Security 'War Room'

I cannot believe it. George Bush has declared war against Social Security. Judging from the talk in our community, heavy casualities are expected. Retirees may not survive the latest round of attacks.

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050305/ap_on_go_pr_wh/selling_social_security_5

To add insult to injury, we taxpayers are footing the bill for this war as well. I just e-mailed our Senators and asked if they would like to comment on this new invasion. Neither one of them have replied. Read More

I sure hope W has enough republican koolaid drinkers that are draft age that want to get a tan this summer fighting in the deserts of Iraq. This is going to get very, very ugly!!! Read More

Many of the red states are lacking education on issues, "reality thinking" and understanding what it means to be a democrat. Therefore, I would like the money we raise as a community to be put forth to fund this project. I hope somebody with influence can forward this idea on to whoever could implement it. I do not want any credit for it, simply turn America into 50 states that understand what a democrat is.
