The 2012 elections returned President Obama to the White House, and Democrats continue to control the Senate. But Republicans still control the House, and we see more attacks on those who are struggling, more votes to repeal Affordable Health Care, more attacks on women's reproductive rights, more stand offs over budgets; one crisis after another.


Therefore, 2014 Starts Now! We can't let 2010 happen next year. Read more HERE!

    Scott DesJarlais Fundraising Troubles.      You may recognize the name even if you don't live in Tennessee.  Here's his story in a nutshell from the Huffington Post:
        
    "DesJarlais cruised to reelection in November 2012, defeating Democratic challenger Eric Stewart by nearly a dozen percentage points. Voters looked past the anti-abortion congressman's admission that he engaged in four flings during his divorce, while pressuring one mistress to have an abortion. Less than two weeks after re-election, court transcripts also showed that DesJarlais' wife had two abortions -- one for medical reasons and another on an elective basis.
    By early December, DesJarlais appeared convinced that his scandalous past was in the rear-view mirror, telling a conservative radio show that God had "forgiven" him."

    The guy was back in the news today, as he has a PAC and apparently found a Tennessee Congressman (Steve Southerland) who accepted a thousand bucks from that PAC.  Details HERE.
