The saga of Henry (alias the "Republican") Cuellar is a curious one. He certainly fooled organized labor for his first fun for office. Can anyone report on what 28th District labor groups plan to do for Henry's next run?
It's very interesting to peruse the C-SPAN entries for Cuellar from 2002 to 2006. Not only does his name change yearly, but (not so) remarkably, so does the type of donor to his election campaigns. In 2002, "Organized Labor" was Cuellar's top donor group. They fall to 6th then to 11th place in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Look at the C-SPAN sites for yourself:
Enrique Roberto Cuellar
2002 c-span link: (organized labor, top donor)

Roberto Enrique Cuellar
2004 c-span link: (organized labor donations drop to 6th place)
http://cspan.politicalmoneyline.com/...
Cuellar has become Anglicized: Henry R Cuellar!
2006 c-span link: (organized labor donations slip to 11th place, as Henry loses his Dem roots, not to mention his Hispanic first name)

And what is the following bill all about? A private bill to obtain permanent residency for the family member of a donor? Can anyone tell me more about such "private bills"?
