I’m a larger donor, but not a major donor.
Been finding out that our “elected” representatives rely on much larger fish and whatever the voters who actually vote them in want, or whatever they’ve promised is so much, how do I say, manure.
I’m looking for something other than democrat or republican. ENOUGH.
Send Norm back to his bar seat.

Punch in the politicians name in the box next to “Capitol Hill” and surf on...
Is he going to be running against Al Franken?
Boxer too. It’s starting to look like the senate (aka the house of lords) is a lost cause and it’s time to fight this in the house, where Hoyer said passing an immigration bill with amnesty doesn’t seem likely.
64-35 cloture vote successful
We will never forget... or forgive
Me too. It's annoying but the fact is that, here in New York, we have no representation in the Senate. (And my rep in the house has switched sides. He's a complete RINO now.)
I've thought about calling just so I could say I did but it would still be a waste of energy.
I am literally sick to my stomach. Brownback, Webb and Ensign voted for cloture. I didn’t see the whole vote so I don’t know what Burr did. Anyone?
Snip:
I also strongly oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, and believe that any immigration legislation should start with strengthening border security and law enforcement. I sponsored, and am working hard to pass legislation that ends the practice of "Sanctuary Cities" and allow our local law enforcement to ask about immigration status during investigations. This vital legislation will also enable law enforcement officers to share that vital information with the proper federal authorities.Your contribution of $25, $50 or even $100 at this secure link will help me continue to work for you and all Minnesotans on these issues and fight the liberal forces lined up against me. Please be sure to make your donation before the end of the second quarter on Saturday, June 30th and help demonstrate our strength to John Kerry, Al Franken, Mike Ciresi, and their liberal friends.
I e-mailed back, "I will not send money to a candidate who votes for cloture on the amnesty bill. A VOTE FOR CLOTURE IS A VOTE FOR AMNESTY."
Al Franken 2008!!
Oh, do you really want Al Franken in the US Senate?
Turncoat POS!
LLS
Thank goodness Peter King is my congressman so I have one source of hope.
Of course they don't, but do you want to keep on electing RINO'S whose vote is not opposite of Al Franken's?
Did the vote of 2006 not teach anybody anything? The best way to rid the Republican Party of Rino's and Moderates is to vote "conservative" in the primaries! Conservatives HAVE to make a stand. NO more votes for Rinos or Moderates just to keep the Republican Party in power!
It’s pretty hard to elect conservative Republicans in MN. I’ll take what I can get.
Have they tried lately? I mean with a candidate that the state and/or national party hasn't sabotaged? That's the way it works in NYS since the NYS GOP is an acronymic oxymoron.
Third party anyone?
My opinion is that I agree with you. I need to do some research on his intended primary opponent but I’m through with Norm Coleman voting with his middle finger.
I have the same problem here in Wisconsin. My Senators are Feingold and Kohl. It’s no better in Illinois, or I’d move there. They have Senator Obama! And Dick Durbin!
