Christopher Dodd

Spring of 2009 Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut was brought into the limelight with his participation in the AIG bailout bonus scandal.

Joseph Cao

The debate over health care reform has really lead to us having some mixed feelings.  On the one hand, the Founding Fathers were afraid of mob rule and were fearful of “pure” democracy being not much different than a mob. At TfTL, we agree with the sentiment. The idea is that a good [...]

Olympia Snow

UPDATE – 10/13/09 : Olympia Snow breaks ranks and votes the Backus health care reform bill out of committee. Clearly, she’s not only out of step with her party, but the majority of the US population and most likely her own constituents.

Last week (Feb. 13, 2009), three republican senators broke with their party and “negotiated” with the democrats to help pass the massive $800,000,000,000 “stimulus” package. For their courage we present their names for you to not re-elect. Three term republican Senator Olympia Snow was one of them.

Congressional Outsourcing

A Modest Proposal

Health care is in the news. It can’t help but be. President Obama has pledged to talk about it until congress does something. We’re in a crisis, we’re told. Something has to be done now. For the moment, let’s accept the false premise the federal government should do anything about health care. For the moment, let’s agree that something must be done.

Senate Week

In honor of the Senate judiciary committee hearings for Sonia Sotomayor, we’re going to be featuring the members of the judiciary committee up for reelection in 2010.

Roland Burris

July 13, 2009 – UPDATE: Roland Burris has announced he will not run for reelection. This is great news! Hopefully, he’ll go back to private life and find success there… Roland Burris wasn’t elected, so technically, he can’t be reelected to his Illinois senate seat. He was appointed by impeached Rod Blogovich to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant seat.
