KY: Dr. Dan Endorsed by Police Group, Bunning Misuses Police

"To us, he looks like hope for Kentucky," said Martin Scott, President of the Kentucky Fraternal Order of Police. Last Wednesday at a press conference he gave Kentucky U.S. Senate Candidate Dr. Daniel Mongiardo the group's endorsement.

In a move that can only be categorized as "bizarre," U.S. Senator Jim Bunning requested extra police protection during a visit to Paducah, citing the possibility of an Al Queda threat. Mongiardo said that "Jim Bunning needs to explain to the people of Kentucky why he seeks additional security for himself when he's repeatedly voted against funding police and first responders who are responsible for protecting all of us."

SC: DeMint to Raise Taxes on Middle Class

In a move that is almost unprecedented for a Republican, Jim DeMint is promising to raise middle class taxes. DeMint would remove the current system of progressive income taxation, and replace it with a 23% federal sales tax on all goods and services, in addition to state and local sales taxes. This would hurt middle class families by taxing the things they need most, and eliminating vital deductions such as the child tax credit.

DeMint's plan would tax a myriad of items including food, water, rent, mortgage payments, gasoline, clothes, diapers, medicine, college tuition, and health insurance.

According to an editorial written by U.S. Senate Candidate and state Superintendent of Education, Inez Tenenbaum, many South Carolina families who use the child tax credit and other deductions to lower their overall tax rate, would see their tax rate rise from 5% to 23%.

Bob Herbert's columns over the last week in the New York Times have sent chills up my spine.  Voter suppression and intimidation...in Florida... again!? The GOP used voter intimidation and outright fraud to hand Florida to George W. Bush in 2000, and if we don't stop them, they'll do it again. 

Like most of you, the thought of another Florida fiasco this election year makes me...well, it makes me determined! I'm determined to make sure that, at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee we're doing everything we can to prevent the injustices that I thought went out with the Jim Crow laws over 40 years ago.

That's why I've decided to take my determination and put it to work. Every contribution we raise will be matched dollar for dollar by another contribution to the DSCC before the end of the Republican Convention, September 3, 2004.

The DSCC's Voter Protection Fund will ensure that voting rights are protected in Senate races across the country. We are working to put in place programs to make sure voter intimidation and fraud go out with George W. Bush and the Republican Senate this year!

With your help, we are working to make sure each state has voter fraud hotlines, war rooms, and stepped up voter registration efforts to ensure that our election results are based on actual votes-not the work of state GOP operatives.

Your generous support of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is what has made the difference in our work to regain the majority.  A majority that is just 2 seats away!  But we need your continued-and timely-support today. With everything in the news about voter fraud and voter intimidation, it's crucial that we put our programs in place to make sure that every vote is safe and secure. That's why I am asking you, as a staunch member of the DSCC, to make a contribution today!
