I Am Confident That The British People

Winter In #‎ Maine Is A Time Of Alternating Rest And Frenzied Activity.

To Do What We Are Doing In This Budget To Our Children, Cutting Their Health Care Funds, Decreasing Opportunity, Simply So We Can Pay For Tax Cuts And A War In Iraq Is Beyond Belief, And We Need To Reverse It

I Do Not Believe That Congress Or The Administration Should Prohibit The Medical Community From Pursuing A Promising Avenue Of Research That May Improve The Lives Of Millions Of Americans.

Incivility Is A Symptom, Not The Disease. We've Always Had Partisan Conflict In Congress, And We Always Will. Yet When I Worked For A Year (1970-71) On The Staff Of Sen. Ed Muskie Of Maine, This Was A Different Place, More Collegial, More Sensitive To Data, More Concerned About All Of The American People. I Think Because The For-profit Media Prizes Conflict Above Cooperation And Sound Bites Above Analysis, Politicians Have Learned To Adapt To Those Tendencies. Consequently, Our Public Debates Are Dumbed Down As Our Problems Grow More Complex.

Family Farms And Small Businesses Are The Backbone Of Our Communities.
