Rosland Kurita responses to Harold Ford's recent actions at STOU

[FreedomAngel82]

I remember someone recently posted how Ford went to Bush and patted him on the back after his speech and he also came out against the filibuster. I just wanted you to know we here in Tennessee do have someone running against him. I'm not sure how she's doing in the polls lately but I'm on her Email list and here's what she said in her recent Email. You can find out how you can support her at http://www.kurita2006.com

If you can't post the whole thing from an Email I'll snip it. It's not very long.

Check this out:

Remember the "hug" at the State of the Union?
You know, when Harold Ford, Jr. made a point of hugging the President and patting him on the back for a job well done? Well, Ford wasn't just being friendly. Harold Ford, Jr. has helped the President time and again.

Harold Ford, Jr. recently told an audience in Lebanon:

"If you want me to be a Republican, I'll do that too ... "

But it's not the first time Ford's acted like a Republican:

When President Bush and his big business buddies in the credit card industry needed help passing a bankruptcy bill that would line their pockets at the expense of Tennessee's working families, Harold Ford, Jr. was there.

Voting with the Republicans!

When President Bush and his friends in big oil needed help passing an energy bill that gave huge tax breaks to multinational oil corporations while Americans suffered pain at the pump, Harold Ford, Jr. was there.

Voting with the Republicans!

When President Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress wanted to gut Medicaid, cutting the program by $10 billion, Harold Ford, Jr. wasn't there, standing up for Tennessee families.

Instead, he skipped the vote and Medicaid was cut and Tennessee families were hurt.

It's time we had a U.S. Senator who will stand and fight for us. A Senator we can TRUST!

Rosalind Kurita is a Democrat you can trust to stand and fight for you on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

So if you'd like to help Kurita's campaign you can donate at http://www.kurita2006.com Also, check out the guy running in my district for Congress Terry Stulce. He's apart of the "Fighting Dems" and "Band of Brothers." He has endorsements from Max Cleland and Vice President Al Gore. You can see his page at http://www.terry2006.com He'll be in DC with the other "Band of Brothers" February 8th, 2006. I hope you can go and see them if you live in DC! They will be joined by Max Cleland.

1. I like her alot

It would be nice if she got more attention because I think Tennessee is ripe to go for a good Democrat.

2. My credit card is now charging loan shark interest rates, thanks to...

legislation that ol' Harold Jr. helped
to pass. (from 8 to 26%!!! -in one month)

Why did they do this?

Their story: Because my credit report showed that we
had "recently"(over a year ago)refinanced our home (to take advantage of the
low mortgage rate).
Translation: Because they can

In addition, Credit card providers are no longer required to provide any
sort of special notice or warning of an interest rate change, nor is there
anything in the law to prevent them from burying the rate increase
figure in a side notation, separate from the itemized charges collumn.
The law also allowed these changes to
supercede any previous agreements, without notice.

3. I have no idea

4. These changes were part of the aptly named "bankruptcy bill"

Thinking of Ford's campaign has me recalling
that old Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man".....

'Chambers is now in line to board the spaceship.
As he is ascending the steps, Pat rushes up
desperately trying to get his attention. As she
is held back by the Kanamits she warns Chambers,
"Don't get on the ship. The book, To Serve Man,
IT'S A COOKBOOK!" A struggling Chambers is forced into the ship.'
