  <blurb>State by state we have to hit the Republicans hard. I have started pushing the &amp;quot;Sweep Movement&amp;quot; designed to Sweep Republican Corruption from office. It started with the Sweep NY State movement, aiming to turn the entire NY Conrgessional representation blue. I then added Sweep Iowa. My third effort is Sweep Indiana. I chose Indiana largely because there are three particular House races of interest: IN-2, -8 and -9. IN-2 is only recently begun to look competitive. This is a case of a possible surprise upset. IN-9 has a particularly vulnerable Republican while IN-8 has a particularly vile Republican.Let&amp;#39;s return to the progressive and populist ideals of the Democratic Party and remind the government that this land belongs to you and me...from coast to coast.</blurb>

      <pageblurb>This seat is currently held by Mike Sodrel (R), who barely defeated Rep. Baron Hill (D) in 2004. This year Sodrel is going down!

IN-9 is one of the top ten pick up opportunities for the Democrats. The Greedy Old Party has named this seat as one of its ten most vulnerable incumbents in the House. These 10 weak Republicans are the starting point for the Sweep the House movement. These should be the easiest wins. So let&amp;apos;s start this list by targeting IN-9 as our top target.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>This seat is held by Rep. John Hostettler one of the 11 Republicans who voted &#8220;No&#8221; on the bill that Congress approved and Bush signed to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He is thus a member of the &amp;quot;Katrina 11&amp;quot; the cold-hearted scum who would willingly see Americans die for the sake of more tax cuts for the wealthy. Hostettler is perfectly happy giving no-bid contracts to Hailiburton, but is unwilling to help American victims of Katrina. It is the moral duty of all Americans to defeat these scum. Donate to defeat the Katrina 11! Start with IN-8!

An extremely electable Democrat is opposing a John Hostettler. Hostettler is such an extremist that he has voted against Bush Administration bills that are &#8216;too liberal.&#8217; Yep...he thinks BUSH is &amp;quot;too liberal.&amp;quot; His success so far has come from facing weak opponents. We have a strong candidate this year. This year we will win!</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>IN-2 has only recently begun to look competitive. This district seems to be souring on corrupt Republicans, but we have to help them wake up. Joe Donnelly is our man to win this one, running a campaign against Republican cronyism and corruption. Clean up Congress by electing Joe Donnelly!</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>This is a key one for me because the increasingly vulnerable Republican incumbent is one of the Katrina 11--someone who supports no-bid contracts for Halliburton but voted against aiding the victims of Katrina. Brad Ellsworth is our candidate here, running for Congress after 25 years in law enforcement.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>This race is looking increasingly competitive. If we want to win Congress, it is districts like IN-8 and 9 that are key to winning. Protecting Social Security and developing energy independence are two of Democrat Baron Hill&amp;apos;s key issues for winning this race.</pageblurb>
