Cecil Bothwell Gains Momentum With Heath Shuler Bowing Out

Posted on February 5 2012 by Congress Watcher

Cecil Bothwell, who is campaigning to succeed Heath Shuler as the representative of North Carolina’s 11th congressional district, has applied for an endorsement by the Progressive Democrats of America. One of the most significant items in Bothwell’s agenda, as identified in his application to the PDA, is the reduction of wasteful spending through the military.

Will Environmental Issues Tip Florida Democratic Race To Patrick Murphy?

Posted on January 31 2012 by Congress Watcher

The conclusion to the Democratic primary in the 22nd congressional district will be primarily a test of the organizational muscle summoned by Lois Frankel and Patrick Murphy. However, the election should also serve as an indication of the degree to which environmental issues can persuade voters in Florida.

Gary Swing For Congress From Colorado

Posted on January 13 2012 by Congress Watcher

Congressional candidate Gary Swing supports the legal prohibition of war. He seeks the abolition of weapons of mass destruction – including the massive arsenal of nuclear weapons held by the United States. He advocates the removal of American soldiers from all foreign nations, and their reassignment to purely defensive positions within U.S. borders.

Will Nick Popaditch Continue His Relationships With Lobbyists In 2012?

Posted on December 13 2011 by Congress Watcher

The list of out-of-state special interests sending money to Nick Popaditch goes on and on. A central question for the campaign in 2012 is whether Popaditch will continue to depend so heavily on lobbyists and other donors with a profit motive to invest in his candidacy.

GOP Bielat Wants To Replace Barney Frank With Big Texas Oil

Posted on December 12 2011 by Congress Watcher

We name just a few of the many people from Texas working for companies related to the crude oil industry who have given money to help Sean Bielat try to get a seat in Congress. It’s a rather odd pattern, considering that Bielat isn’t running for Congress in Texas. He’s running in Massachusetts, where there are no giant oil fields.

Rob Woodall Receiving Business-Organized Campaign Contributions

Posted on November 14 2011 by Congress Watcher

There are only 75 individual contributions to the 2012 re-election campaign of U.S. Representative Rob Woodall. Six of those 75 contributions have come from Pull-A-Part executives. The chances of this happening randomly are absurdly small.

Rob Cornilles Is Out Of Date On The Science Of Anthropogenic Global Warming

Posted on November 9 2011 by Congress Watcher

Politician Rob Cornilles says that there’s no science that proves that humans are to blame for climate change. The National Academy of Sciences begs to differ. Who are you going to believe?

Bob Avakian Supports Occupy Portland Protest

Posted on October 24 2011 by Congress Watcher

Democrats competing to replace David Wu in Congress offer different perspectives on the Occupy Portland protest.

Will Any Democrat Stand Against Michele Bachmann?

Posted on October 19 2011 by Congress Watcher

The filing deadline for a candidate to run in the race against Michele Bachmann is June 5, next year. A successful candidate will need to begin a campaign much sooner than that, considering the political resources Bachmann has gathered together for her presidential campaign.

Kaptur Praises Occupy Wall Street Protesters

Posted on October 7 2011 by Congress Watcher

Dennis Kucinich has yet to make any floor speech even mentioning, much less praising, the occupation protests. Can Kaptur use her support for the occupation protests to convince voters that she will be a better representative of liberal values than Kucinich?
