It's time to reduce the power of lobbyists and restore fairness by giving a tax cut to working Americans, struggling homeowners and seniors. It's time to invest in 21st century infrastructure to create jobs, safeguard our security, and connect our communities. It's time to make health care affordable for every American, and to pass comprehensive immigration reform that embraces our legacy as a nation of laws and immigrants. To deliver on the promise of a world-class education, I'll invest in universal, high-quality early childhood education, give our teachers more pay and support, and make sure they're not just teaching to a test. And to make sure you can get a college education without being saddled with debt, I'll give an annual $4,000 tuition tax credit to every American who needs a ...

WASHINGTON -- Seven Day-ton-area lawmakers are raising an issue about whether it was appropriate for U.S. Rep. Steve Austria to visit the Ohio General Assembly on the same day that the Ohio House took up legislation redrawing congressional districts. The group, which includes two Washington Twp. trustees, four mayors of Dayton suburbs and former Ohio State Sen. Chuck Cur-ran, wrote in a letter to House Speaker Bill Batchelder that Austria's appearance at the General Assembly "creates the impression of undue influence and the appearance of impropriety.

CHICAGO - Outspoken Rep. Joe Walsh, a rising tea party star known for his harsh criticism of President Barack Obama, announced re- election plans Wednesday that will cost Illinois one current Republican member of Congress. Walsh's decision to run in a newly drawn 14th congressional district in suburban areas north and west of Chicago forces a primary battle with fellow conservative Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren, if Illinois' new congressional map survives a court challenge.
Gus Douglass, the winner of 11 statewide elections and the longest-serving state agriculture commissioner in U.S. history, said Tuesday he would not seek another four-year term. I would like to thank the voters of West Virginia for the tremendous support they have shown me through the decades, the 84-year-old Douglass said during a Capitol press conference. This is an honor I did not foresee growing up in the wilds of Mason County. Douglass made the announcement, in part, to give those interested in running for the post time to gather support for next years election. Douglass was first elected in 1964 and has been re-elected 10 times since. His only break was during the four years following his 1988 loss in the Democratic gubernatorial primary to Gaston Caperton. He said the loss helped...
Rep. Donna F. Edwards has become the first Democrat in Maryland's congressional delegation to publicly criticize a proposed redistricting map, saying the process is "deeply flawed" and party leaders at the highest level are slighting minority voters by splitting their districts. We have a Democratic governor and a Democratic General Assembly," Ms. Edwards, who is seeking a second full term in 2012, said Tuesday. "Democrats are not in the business of diluting the minority vote.

There's a lot of confusion about Michigan's primary election to be held this week on Tuesday, January 15, instead of the usual early February race. It's pretty much agreed that moving the state primary forward was a mistake. The Democratic National Committee has stripped Michigan of its delegates. And John Edwards and Barack Obama pulled their names from the ballot. The Republican ballot will have a full slate of names, but national GOP officials will count only half of Michigan's delegates because of the early primary date. We urge Arab Americans to vote on principle in this primary for [Ron Paul] or [Dennis Kucinich]. Both are against the war in Iraq. Kucinich voted against the U.S.Mexico fence and the militarization of the border. He called for a "clear road map to legal status in th...

People who want to change districts will look at this opinion, and they won't even think about [Tom DeLay]. They'll say, 'Well, the Supreme Court said it was OK, let's redraw the lines.' It's hard enough right now for people to know who their representative is when the lines are drawn only once every 10 years, particularly in a major metropolitan area like the Dallas-Fort Worth area, like Houston, where you have multiple districts. A lot of people are confused about who their congressman is. If you change the lines every few years, they'll never know who their congressman is. And it just opens the door for mischief, for partisan mischief. It's a very unfortunate result. "The larger implication, frankly, I don't believe is nearly as dire as some quotes that I've read. If you stop and th...

Sadly, in next month's municipal election, voters can only direaten two city councilors about their cowardice in the face of the massive assault against Santa Fe's spreading Wi-Fi technology. And by massive, I mean 25 people in staunch opposition. Also, if we did elect a couple of new councilors, how do we know they wouldn't be just as - what's the term? - pussyfooted about telling Wi-Fi worriers that they can go to hell or, more diplomatically, somewhere beyond the city limits if they are so convinced that the intense urban bombardment of Santa Fe is killing them softly. Who in our government believes die primary voices of opposition, Bill "I'm Spitting So Hard as I Yell that the Police Had to Drag Me Out" Bruno and [Arthur Firsten] "I Put this Podunk Town on the Map as the Place Where...
