Early Voting begins Monday 18 October 2010

  Early Voting begins Monday 18 October 2010 and runs through Friday 29 October 2010

     It is probably not an overstatement to say this is an important election for our republic.

     Vote progress.

Stunning Statistics of the Week:

• Amount the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent this week in new independent expenditures: $6.6 million

• Amount the committee has spent to date: $19 million

• The amount the committee is expected to spend before Election Day: $52 million

• Amount that just two Republican groups, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, have raised to influence the elections: $56 million

FEC should investigate Crossroads GPS for campaign finance law violations, watchdogs say

Crossroads GPS, an organization created by Republican strategists Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie to influence the midterm elections with huge expenditures of money, appears to be violating federal campaign law, Public Citizen and Protect Our Elections told the Federal Election Commission in a complaint filed this week.

SuperPacs are debasing our democracy‎ (and the republic, too)

When the U.S. Supreme Court issued its Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision in January, Public Citizen predicted that corporations were sure to accept the court’s invitation to overrun the political process. We were hardly alone in offering this prognostication. Nine months later, we concede: Things are much, much worse than we anticipated.




From Texas Red: a cratered landscape of prisons, deplorable apartheid public education, lack of healthcare and politicians and majority population intent on keeping it that way…

Hasta Siempre,
