After the last two presidential elections, it's incredibly important to repair our election system. We need to guarantee paper printouts for electronic voting machines, cut long lines, and prohibit partisan election officials.There's lots of legislation in Congress to do just that, and we need to demand our representatives pass it immediately.I just signed a petition to Congress. Can you join me

Dear Friend:Last week we added Gonzales to the war crimes suit we filed with the German prosecutor that charges Rumsfeld and other high-ranking officials with responsibility for torture at Abu Ghraib. Despite the thousands of letters many of you sent, the evidence, and the legal merits of the case, Rumsfeld strong-armed the German government into refusing the suit before he would agree to attend

Thank you to Mr. Joe Fontaine, the Chair of the Ripon College Dems, for getting involved with GLAD. I hope to see some action on this blog now that we are getting the college students involved! We have another goal, GLAD--we must get the interested hispanic community involved with our grassroots democratic efforts. Ideas? Suggestions? Please comment.

Dear Friend,In a few moments I will go to the floor of the Senate and introduce ten bills which will make up the Senate Democrats’ legislative agenda.Each measure represents one of our core values; opportunity so that every American can get the education they need to compete for good-paying jobs; responsibility, so that the United States government meets its obligations to future and past

Tax Payer's Bill of Rights For anyone with kids in school, it would be worth your while to contact the school board and consider going to a meeting to find out how TABOR would effect your kids' school. My kids go to Green Lake, so I will contact someone on the school board as soon as possible, If I find anything out, I'll let you know. BTW: I am training to be a First Responder in Green Lake
