Top Five Senators

Okay it's time for the Top Five Senators
5. Barack Obama of Illinois
A rising star in the Democratic Party, he has done a lot to bring awareness about Darfur and has been an outspoken leader. He could be a possible choice for Senate Minority (dare I say Majority?) Leader.
4. Charles Schumer of New York
Sensable and smart, Chuck Schumer has fought for people in America. He has been an leader and will hopefully deliver a Democratic Senate in 2006. New York is lucky to have him.
3. Edward Kennedy Of Mass.
The backbone of the Senate Democrats, Kennedy has fought to bring healthcare to children in his state. His has fought to reform education and this country. He is a tireless fighter.
2. Russell Feingold of Wisc.
Russ Feingold is a man of greatness. A smart senator who always trys to find a soliution and does things, even with little support, that spart debates in America.
1. Joseph Biden of Delaware
A man who has put Delaware on the map, and is the only senator with a plan for Iraq that can work. Biden has intiatiated some of the best domestic policy in decades. Hopefully he will be President Biden soon.

Let's send the best


Sorry I haven't posted in awhile the last couple of months have been stressful with school and such. However, I feel an urge to write about a certain issue. Delaware had 1 congressman, Mike Castle, a Republican for which I have supported before in previous elections. But, I can not say that this time. The Democrat, Dennis Spivack, is the greatest candidate our party has ever sent to challenge Castle. Castle is a moderate, however I feel that he has become a part of the rubber stamp congress. He has voted with the president over 80% of the time and has a rating of 22 from the ACLU. His "independence" is no longer present. Dennis Spivack is a man of greatness. His wife has had cancer twice and he got into this race to fix a broken healthcare system. He talks with passion on the campaign trail and warms your heart when you see him. He is the smartest Democrat to come before Congressman Castle and has the huevos to stand up to the president. He wants to ease America on a path to universal healthcare. He is opposed to the war, and is big on securing our borders. I have never been as impressed with any congressional candidate as I am with him. His call to service was birthed from tragedy. He gone through a personal hardship and wants to make sure nobody has to go through it. Mike Castle on his tee shirt has a motto, "We can only send one.........let's send the best". I agree, let's send the best, and the best is Dennis Spivack.
