Who's planning of running againist the vet next year?

[Bradley Minoski]

When I mean vet, i mean Sen. John Ensign, has anyone announced that there running againist him next year.

And before I got there's just one thing I got to say...what exactly qualifies this man to be a senator? cause before taking office in '00 all this man knew what to do was neuter animals in his 24 hour animal hospital in las vegas.

1. Heard Jimmy Carter's son is planning to (or is it for governor?)

This is EARLY for the Dems for a change - they usually wait till about 2 weeks before the election to announce to run (not really, but it sure seems that way!).

I don't give him too much hope - apparently Harry Reid is one of his biggest local supporters ("gentlemens club" agreement or something - I am not surprised). They seem awful chummy of late!

5. get it straight now, TankLV, Harry Reid does not want Jack Carter

to win. Trust me on this.

Besides, didn't you hear about old Harry praises the LV mayor as being a good choice to run against Ensign recently? Made me want to puke.

3. Rumor has

that former President Carter is willing to come out and campaign for his son if he is willing to run. It also looks that Carter has been seriously considering this and has been meeting with Reid.

4. Barry Michaels Runs a Different Type of Campaign

March 1, 2006 - In an unprecedented move congressional candidate Barry Michaels, a democrat from Nevada, refuses to accept special interest money and challenges his opponent to do the same.

Michaels feels; “accepting campaign contributions from special interest groups can amount to selling your vote. It’s clear to him these contributions usually are accompanied with a ticket for a future pay back. Our forefathers believed members of congress should be elected by the people to represent the people, not the special interest groups.” Michaels wants to go to Washington with a clean slate having no other obligation other than to represent his constituency to the best of his ability. “I believe as a Representative I need to be free to vote your conscious, not my pocketbook.”

Each year the number of special interest groups rise to the point where there are now approximately eight thousand registered groups in Washington DC. One can only assume their leaders are not stupid nor are they philanthropic. They contribute solely for the purpose of influencing future legislation that best suits their own interest group.

Michaels chooses instead to fund his campaign by seeking individual contributions, rather than go to bed with special interest groups. He believes it’s one’s civic duty to support the candidate of your choice. “Special interest groups (PAC’s as they are formally known) are a necessary evil and play an important role in the public policy making process. It should be illegal for PAC’s to contribute to campaigns so as to influence legislation or an election outcome.” www.michaelsforcongress.com Media contact [phone]
