Rubicon: Crossing Back to Sanity

Rubicon: Crossing Back to Sanity Robert Silvey robert.silvey@gmail.com George Bush has crossed the Rubicon. We must cross backâ€”toward sanity, toward the rule of lawâ€”and we can do it by taking control of Congress on November 7. You can help. Volunteer to work with your local Democratic candidate and contribute to Democratic candidates around the country, so we can begin to move America in the right direction again. There's more information about the 2006 elections on the <a href="http://www.robertsilvey.com">Rubicon website</a>, with a report on our prospects for a <a href="http://www.robertsilvey.com/notes/2006/10/election_outloo_1.html">Democratic Congress here</a>. These are a few candidates I'm supporting. Please give generously!

McNerney is an environmental engineer who builds wind turbines. Pombo wants to sell 15 national parks.

As Albuquerque's congresswoman, Heather Wilson has worked to preserve the powers of George Bush, particularly his power to eavesdrop on you illegally. Madrid is a better choice.

Claire McCaskill false MO-Sen mccaskill 4800.00 371464.78 10997 http://www.claireonline.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/8848 510.00 9 In 2004, I worked in Missouri to elect Claire McCaskill governor. We didn't quite win, but this year she's come back as an excellent candidate for the Senate. Here's her platform: <blockquote>This election is critical for Missouri and our country. Washington DC is spiraling out of control. Moneyed interests outweigh the will of the people. A war is being fought without a strategy to winâ€”or keep us safe. And billions of dollars are being added every day to a deficit our children will have to pay. It's time for a Senator on our side.</blockquote> Please support Claire to replace the untalented (and dangerous) Jim Talent. Send her a contribution now.
