    Video: Sen. Coleman's home vandalized (see link below) When Laurie Coleman, wife of U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, hauled her trash to the alley at 7:30 Wednesday morning, a chilling sight greeted her. Sprayed in black on the wooden siding of the garage behind the couple's St. Paul home, in letters nearly a foot high: "U R A CRIMINAL RESIGN OR ELSE! PSALM 2" On the alley side, "SCUM" was scrawled across both garage stall doors and a wooden partition in between. The Colemans weren't alone. Vandals struck the garages and homes of five other Minnesota members of Congress late Tuesday...

    U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad is expected to announce that he is retiring from Congress. His office released a statement today saying he plans to "make a major announcement ...concerning his future plans." Ramstad has represented the Third District, made up of the southern, western and northern suburbs of Minneapolis, since he was elected to his first of 9 terms in 1990. A spokesman for Ramstad, John Magnuson, declined to comment on the congressman's announcement, which is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Minnetonka. But an email press release on the announcement included a file entitled, "retire_advisory," that had Magnuson's name attached...

    In a striking display of dissension, a group of Republican lawmakers broke ranks with the White House on Wednesday and embraced a resolution opposing more U.S. troops in Iraq — airing their criticism even as President Bush publicly defended his plan.

    2006 Congressional Election Cycle Has Begun  50 Republican Incumbents Undeserving of Support by Pro-life Voters   The Republican National Coalition for Life PAC is currently receiving phone calls from Republican candidates for Congress in the 2006 Republican primaries. Our usual practice is to mail our Candidate Questionnaire to Republican candidates in each district as soon as the filing deadlines are reached. When we receive the results of the questionnaire, they are recorded on our website at www.RNCLife.org so that voters can see for themselves it those seeking to represent them in Washington are truly pro-life. We hope that this service...
  • Jim Ramstad: Above the political fray Homeland security must be an all-out, bipartisan effort

    Rep. Martin Sabo's partisan attack piece ("GOP hypocrisy on homeland security," Aug. 1) is disappointing and counterproductive to improving homeland security. As the 9/11 commission report reveals, our security vulnerabilities and intelligence community shortcomings are much too serious for "politics-as-usual." To charge the administration with "double-talk" and "hypocrisy" unfortunately politicizes government's most critical function. Congress and the president need to act expeditiously on the commission's recommendations in a bipartisan, pragmatic and common-sense way to fix homeland security deficiencies and strengthen intelligence capabilities. We know Al-Qaida plans to attack us again soon, and time is not on our side. It's imperative...
