The Yahoo online discussion group that I participate in, Feminist Peace Network, posted this tribute to Barbara Lee and protecting the sexual health of young people.

At the time that he took office though, Colorado didn't have a Democrat U.S. Senator. I would like Mark Udall to not be so conservative.

But his comments at his Pueblo event yesterday struck me as particularly outrageous. Read More »

http://www.markudall.com/content/network/ According to a Washington Post article, John Ensign, a Nevada Republican Senator, has stalled the housing bill because he believes it to be unsustainable without tax credits for renewable energy development. The Senate Banking Chairman, Chris Dodd, says this tactic places the whole bipartison housing package at risk.
Yesterday, Derrick Jackson wrote an editorial for the Boston Globe about the U.S. energy companies that were to benefit from no-bid contracts with the Iraqi government. Since I had previously read about Aspect Energy's ties to Bob Schaffer online at 9news, I'm wondering if Aspect Energy is one of the winners in this deal.
Kathleen Sebelius, the Governor of Kansas, promoted Kansas as a leader in renewable energy at the American Wind Energy Association's Wind Power 2008 Conference. In her remarks at the conference, she cited a poll by the Land Institute which showed 3 out of 4 Kansans want a comprehensive energy strategy. In Colorado, Ken Salazar advocates renewable enery investment as a means for Americans to achieve independence. He thinks tax incentives are the answer.

Bob Schaffer, apparently confused on which state he is looking to represent, recently created (and quickly took down) an ad in which he claims that "Colorado is (his) life" while standing in front of what is clearly Mt. McKinley. The ad is tons of fun with large letters and pop up pictures of him proposing to his wife on top of Pikes Peak (Mt. McKinley). This is kind of like looking to represent Washington State and having a picture of the Statue of Liberty instead of the Space Needle. The video can be found here.
