The Electronic Frontier Foundation has issued an action alert on two bills in Congress seeking to legalize, post-facto, the Bush wiretapping operations ruled unconstitutional by a Federal District Court last month. Please reach out to your elected representatives and let them know your opinion. EFF is a great organziation. If you are not already a

Every wonder how to get your idiot Republican brother-in-law to understand that he got screwed by Bush’s tax cuts? Well, wonder no longer. Just sit him down at the computer and show him this excellent graphical explanation by Moving Symbol at ecolanguage.com. Now, you want to show why privatizing Social Security by investing in the
Labor Relations on Labor Day
September 4, 2006
Seems that an overly enthusiastic Gabby volunteer took a step over the line in preparing the Pima Democratic Party newsletter announcing the Labor Day AFL-CIO/PALF picnic. The volunteer very clearly implied that the event was a Pima Democratic Party event and that that the Party was endorsing the listed candidates. Join us at Reid Park
The Gabby Gaggle
September 4, 2006
I really don’t get what everyone is squawking about over Weiss’ criticism of Gabby’s legislative record. All Patty did was use some statistics on Gabby’s voting record crunched by her staff, and made a very theatrical, and somewhat hyperbolistic, pronouncement about what they found.

Note: I have arbitrarily decided to simply not talk about any campaign that hasn’t yet topped $50K. It’s not because they aren’t competitive, it’s because their little pile of money isn’t very interesting, and there are just too many of them. They are like baby sea turtles. They may make it to the ocean and

DEMOCRATS: Gabby Giffords: Leading the pack in fundraising again is Gabby Giffords, who raked in an additional $270K over the last two months. That pops the 1 million mark for Gabby, giving her a total $1.113 million raised for the race, and $334K cash on hand as of 8/23/06. Gabby raised most her money, $237K,
Another CD 8 Candidate Forum
September 1, 2006
KVOA News 4 asked each of the Democratic Candidates what they thought the #1 issue was. Many of the answers staked out familiar territory and conformed pretty closely to the crosstabs of every poll on the race I’ve seen: Iraq (Rodriguez), Healthcare (Weiss), Immigration (Johnson). Every candidate had their own issue they were trying to
