POPSThis Time There is Every Reason to Believe Michael Brown Once more time Lieberman is letting the Bush administration off the hook. He screamed loudly when he was on the committee demanding the information from the white house. Now that he was re-elected with strong Republican help, and he is chairman of the committee, he decides to call off the investigation of how the administration failed during the Katrina tragedy, and let the Bushies literally get away with murder. This man is an embarrassment in his complete dedication to his self-serving best interests no matter who he has to screw to remain in power. But this Katrina investigation is truly low, even for Lieberman.

POPSURGENT ACTION NEEDED ON HEALTHCARE Take action FAST!! (continues) Louisiana - Landrieu North Carolina - Hagan Indiana - Bayh Connecticut - Lieberman Maine - Snow and Collins The text of the ad will be: “How can Obama care for fifty million new people without more doctors? By cutting access to care for the elderly. End Medicare as we know it. The government decides who gets hip, knee, or heart surgery. Eight month wait for colonoscopies. In Canada, an eight week wait for cancer radiation. Say no to Obama’s plan. Write Senator Evan Bayh today so you can still see your doctor tomorrow.” On Monday or Tuesday, we will e mail you info on how to donate to our campaign. We need to raise $4 million in one week to impact this vote. With those funds, we can saturate these states and send the moderate Democrats scurrying for cover. But we need your quick response. The stakes have never been higher. Thank you.

POPSBody Armor debate gets redhot - FactCheck.org This should be a redhot thread for anyone concerned with 'supporting our troops'. Simple fact is, if the Army orders it's troops not to use something even out of their own pocket, they can't use it. If it works better than the issued gear and people die, that is infuriating. So now that this pissing contest between army procurement and the civilian company Pinnacle has been brought out, it should be fairly covered by the press.

POPS8 Dems Oppose Quick Debate On Global Warming Bill Fast-track budget rules were used to enact President George W. Bush's tax cuts and two major budget bills during the Clinton administration, including a 1993 measure that failed to win a single GOP vote. The House and Senate Budget committees are slated to vote on the budget resolution next week, with Senate debate scheduled for the week of March 30. There also has been speculation that the expedited rules could be used to pass a health care overhaul bill, but senior Senate Democrats such as Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., oppose the idea, saying health reform must be enacted on a bipartisan basis. The White House is open to the idea of using the fast-track rules for both global warming and health care. "We would prefer not to start there, but we're not taking anything off the table at this point," White House budget chief Peter Orszag said last week.
