Dear Sirs: Suzanne Kosmas is not an accepable choice of candidate in thr 24th-As she has no record in the past 6 years of any party activity of substance. It should be nored however that the along with 31 other "so-Called " democrats voted against the seating of the first balck speaker of the state house Willie Logan .Among the "controlled drone group" as well was Debbie Wasserman Schultz who like wise deserves honorable mention on this list of legislators. This can easily be vetted-

You are missing a bet by not supporting Scott Kleeb in the Nebraska Senate race. He is maybe not as "progressive" as you like, but he is damned progressive for Nebraska, and a dmn site better for America than his opponent, Mike(I never completed a term) Johanns, Bush's Ag Secretary.

Jim Martin running for the Senate against Saxby Chambliss, R-Georgia. No one could have higher integrity than Jim, yet his name is featured nowhere.

Milton, Suzanne Kosmas is an endorsed candidate because of her strong support for expanded health care for all. She has a track record of ensuring those that need state help get it.

Berwyn, Scott Kleeb is a great candidate, but we only endorse candidates that apply with us and our records show that he never applied. We are pulling for him out there in Nebraska (the state of my birth), but unfortunately this round our paths didn't cross.

Susan, We endorsed Jim Martin before his primary in our 3rd round of endorsements. You can find his 21st Century Democrats' profile here and our endorsement announcement here. And we celebrated with him over his primary victory.

Mike Her whole length of service(KOSMAS ) can be summed up by a quote from her claiming "I am not a bleeding heart liberal" as well she supported the Bush-Iraqi war-And has been absent from state of Florida issues scince she left the Senate, word has it that she was "dug up" by Wasserman Schultz to do Pelosi's bidding and because of Wasserman's horrendous vote against a black proponnent for speaker of the house I have since lost all respect or trust for her If she hasn't lost all of her self respect yet, I would hope to engage her in a response.As Democrats we are obligated to do the people's business without "K" street ^ Farrow
