<title>Sagadahoc County Republicans Need Your Help</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1298168/posts</link>
<description>After accepting our donations and helping in his re-election, our Senator Art Mayo switched from a Republican to a Democrat on Tuesday. Please vote option 4 in this online poll of our local paper. Sen. Mayo always consorted with the Democrats to our annoyance but he could have changed before the election and allowed us to run a true Republican against him. Of course, his lack of ethics is in character with the rest of his new party members. We are calling for the Senator to resign and call for a new election. http://www.sagadahocgop.com</description>

In particular, with today&#x26;#x92;s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I&#x26;#x92;ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties.

<title>The most taxpayer-unfriendly members of congress</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1147193/posts</link>
<description>Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents. The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records. Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to...</description>

<description>I&#x26;#x27;ve seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I&#x26;#x27;m mostly using information from DC POLITICAL REPORT and POLITICS1. STATES Alabama DISTRICT 3 - The other Mike Rogers (R) won in 02 with 50.3% over Democrat Joe Turnham(48.2%) in an open seat. So far, it looks as he is facing Democrat Bill Fuller, Ex-State Human Resources Commissioner. I haven&#x26;#x27;t heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest. Alaska SENATE - Lisa Murkowski(R) vs Ex governor Tony Knowles. This will be a tough race as Knowles is an ex-governor and Murkowski...</description>

<title>Congressional races will skip preliminaries [Maine]</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1099906/posts</link>
<description>WASHINGTON &#x26;#x97; Neither congressional race in Maine this year will feature a contested primary, since the filing deadline passed Monday for Democratic Reps. Tom Allen and Mike Michaud and their Republican challengers. But Michaud&#x26;#x27;s 2nd Congressional District race in northern Maine could still become a three-way contest if a prospective candidate runs as an independent. Allen, of Portland, who is in his fourth term, faces a challenge from Charles Summers, who spent eight years as state director for U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. Allen, a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, has won previous contests easily, with 64 percent...</description>

<title>Why Spanish Election results are irrelevent to US War on Terror</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1097985/posts</link>
<description>Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday&#x26;#x27;s Spanish elections. The &#x26;#x22;conventional wisdom&#x26;#x22; is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the &#x26;#x22;News Media&#x26;#x27;s&#x26;#x22; thinking is neither conventional nor wise. What all the various activists miss is the reality of American Exceptionalism. As much as the International Political Left hates, and try&#x26;#x27;s to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...</description>

<title>Democrat Primary turnout not a even close to being a record</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/1094377/posts</link>
<description>The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...</description>

The &#x26;#x22;objective news media&#x26;#x22; supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush&#x26;#x27;s ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry&#x26;#x27;s wife. Please take a moment and vist the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC etc to email the Omsbudsman, the Publisher, the News Editor and demand to know why they allowed clearly partisan advocates of Kerry&#x26;#x27;s Presidential Campaign were presented on their &#x26;#x22;News&#x26;#x22; programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the &#x26;#x22;News Media&#x26;#x22; be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.</description>

As expected the DNC directed its &#x26;#x22;Objective News Media&#x26;#x22; mouthpieces at CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC to generate phoney hysteria about these ads. Compared to the demogagery and lies spread by the Kerry Campaign, Moveon.org and the DNC about Bush for the last 6 months, this is probably the mildest sets of ads that have run so far this political season. Please email this link to every person on you email contact list. We need to get as many people as possible to see these ads. They are...</description>
