These illegal gifts come with a price - influence over Coleman's actions in the U.S. Senate, and this effects all of us.
It is time that Minnesota get the honest representation in the U.S. Senate that it deserves. It is time for Norm Coleman to go. Video here. ]]>

Roger Wicker has voted 13 times against increasing the minimum wage. Roger Wicker has voted to risk your Social Security money on Wall Street. Yes - that Wall Street. Roger Wicker supports tax cuts for the wealthy, while the middle class suffers.
Roger Wicker represents the failed policies of the Bush administration.

In recent years, she has only spent a few weeks in the state. All the while, she's voting with President Bush 92% of the time. This has resulted in a very low effectiveness ranking.
Elizabeth Dole has been busy in Washington DC representing the failed policies of the Bush administration. We need someone to represent North Carolina.
It's time for a change.

He wants to risk your social security money on Wall Street. That's right, the same Wall Street that has suffered massive losses, and continued instability.
But, Norm Coleman really likes the Bush idea of privatized social security - and is willing to risk YOUR retirement to support Bush's bad ideas.

Also, he has supported tax breaks to big corporations that ship our jobs overseas.
If that is not bad enough, it gets worse.
During the time Mitch McConnell was claiming to have created jobs, he was not being completely truthful. He did create jobs - in Mexico, Honduras, and in China.

Elizabeth...NoThirdBushTerm After 6 years on the Senate banking committee she managed to not ask a single question, about anything!
And now, our economy is in trouble, banks are failing, and the stock market is dropping.
Elizabeth Dole's lack of action on the committee is an appalling level of oversight. Adding to that, she voted against legislation to help people stay in their homes, and has been labeled as ineffective by North Carolina newspapers.
While Dole sat in silence, she did manage to collect donations from Wall Street to the tune of $850,000. Was it all just "hush-money?"
It's time for Dole to leave the Senate, and clear the way for someone who will speak up for North Carolina.

So while Roger Wicker is busy supporting the Bush agenda of opposing minimum wage increases so the working poor can support themselves, he is busy giving himself pay increases, all at the tax-payers expense.
To make life harder on those who are already struggling, he also voted against expanding health care coverage for the children of poor parents in Mississippi.
Roger Wicker has been busy in Washington - increasing his own pay, but making things harder for the rest of us.

For the rich, that's a big tax cut, and for the middle class and the poor, that's a big tax increase.
What is he thinking?
Chambliss clearly does not have the interest of the middle class or the poor in mind when he supports legislation that would radically increase their tax bill. What's worse, in these difficult times, which are effecting the middle class and the poor the most, they would be in even worse financial shape that what they are now!

Well, he has been a great legislator......for President Bush's failed policies:
1. He's supported tax-cuts for the wealthy.
2. He's supported Subsidies for Big Oil.
3. He's voted against allowing the government to negotiate lower drug prices through Medicare.

He stands behind what he has done and is not guilty of any wrong doing.
2. He understands that he has done things that are illegal and may be subject to fines or jail time.
Well, which is it? Looks like Stevens is more interested in saving his own hid from his own wrong doings than actually representing the people of Alaska. Here it in his own words. ]]>

Not only has he supported the risky privatization of social security in the past, given the recent turmoil in the market, he is still behind this...NoThirdBushTerm What Sununu fails to realize is that markets go through cycles of ups and down. This guarantees that every few years, senior citizens will start to draw benefits during a market down-turn, and will receive lower benefits, simply due to the nature of the market.
Does it make sense to arbitrarily risk peoples Social Security benefits just at the point in their lives when risky investments are least recommended?
No.
John Sununu needs to think more about the well-being of senior citizens, instead of the well-being of Wall Street. Video here! ]]>
