It's what all campaigns are asking for right now, and of course, there is a finite supply of it. It is critical to political parties, campaigns, and our personal lives. Some campaigns seem to have endless supplies of it, while others always seem to be asking for more. It rules our political system and creates many fights in people's homes. Our governments collect their money through a variety of means, and must make decisions on how to spend it. As a Democrat, I... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller) http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1097812 http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1097812 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:41:15 CDT Democrats won't miss GonzalesThe founding fathers of our vast country took great care in planning against the largest possible coupe to overthrow our government. For example, the electoral college and having three separate powers of government, executive, legislative, and judicial. However, cut throat politics have devoured their vision of liberty and justice for all as the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales confirmed.The Department of Justice's (DOJ) mission states that they... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller) http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1063710 http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1063710 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:57:14 CDT A message to those represented by and in leadership of Labor: Soon it will be Labor Day, and we'll be celebrating a holiday that came about thanks to the labor movement in the late 1800's. It was first started in 1882 in New York by the Central Labor Union, and by 1885 was celebrated in most industrial centers of the country. By 1894, 31 states and the United States Congress, acting on behalf of the District of Columbia and the territories, established Labor Day the first Monday in... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller) http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1044602 http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1044602 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 14:03:35 CDT The Wisconsin Senate Democrats are talking about it. Our Governor is talking about it. Michael Moore is talking about it in a big way ($11.5 million at this point - Sicko earning through July 8, 2007). Our health care system is in crisis. There is no question that this is the case. How bad is it? If you look at simple poll numbers, almost 40% of Americans believe it is the number 1 priority for the 2008 presidential candidates. What do Americans want to be done? According to polls,... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller) http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1033721 http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1033721 Tue, 29 May 2007 17:59:08 CDT Chair column as published in the Kenosha News, May 2007The mainstream media has a strong foundation in American society. Our current system of radio, television, and newspapers are a result of massive consolidations along with market winners and losers. The question is, however, of the media outlets that remain, are they liberal or conservative? Do they help Democrats, and as a result exist to hurt Republicans? Or is the opposite the case? Is it impossible to tell?

It's interesting, however, because although guns and taxes are typically Republican talking points, I'm making them Democratic points this month. Guns: I would like to express my deepest sympathy to those around this country who are dealing with the tragedy that occurred on... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller) http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1033719 http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1033719 Tue, 29 May 2007 17:57:45 CDT Chair column for March, published in the Kenosha NewsThe elected GOP representatives in this state and country are working against us by providing tax cuts to the energy companies, the same companies that have gouged us at the pump and polluted the air we breathe. In 2000, we paid less than $1.50 per gallon of gas, whereas today's price is over $2.50 per gallon. What do we, as citizens, get in return? A GOP attorney general that backs out of an EPA lawsuit seeking better... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller) http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1005179 http://www.kenoshacountydems.com/ht/d/ViewBloggerThread/i/1005179 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:33:51 CST Chair column for February, published in the Kenosha NewsFor the past few years, it has bothered me that so many people are working to divide the people in this country by fear and hate while special interest groups come out as the only "winners". In a discussion with my partner, David, he defines modern politics (mainly driven by the far-right) as collision politics. Looking at a few issues, we can see how collision politics work in dividing us based on emotion.

They imported an estimated $25.2 billion of their 2006 inventory from China. This new way of "doing business" helped to put the United States' trade deficit at $68.9 billion in December 2006 alone. Especially in a time of war, manufacturing locale is a matter of national security.Most companies in China are partially owned by their government, have government... millbryan@gmail.com (Bryan Miller)
