Pombo coming to Greeley!!!!

Speaking of "ethics," Marilyn Musgrave is bringing the biggest special interest kingpin in the Congress, Richard Pombo, to Greeley on Monday!!!

A House committee will hold a hearing in Greeley next week on whether the
Preble's meadow jumping mouse should continue to be protected under the
Endangered Species Act. The hearing was initiated by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave,
R-Colo., and will be chaired by Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Calif., a critic of the
Endangered Species Act.

A fierce dispute arose earlier this year about whether the mouse is a
distinct creature with a dwindling population, or is the same as a more common
species and undeserving of protection. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is
considering whether the mouse should stay on the endangered species list.

The decision affects nearly 31,000 acres in Colorado and Wyoming designated
as critical habitat to help the mouse recover.The mouse has become a symbol of a
broader debate between property-rights advocates who want to scale back the
Endangered Species Act and wildlife advocates who want to ensure enforcement of
the law is science-driven.

Next week's hearing is being billed as "abuses of the Endangered Species
Act: the so-called Preble's meadow jumping mouse."

She's bringing one of the biggest lowlifes in Congress to her district?

Ethics, schmethics

Most RSC members enjoy pork
By Jonathan Allen

Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Fla.) is one of the House’s harshest critics of pork-barrel spending. A member of the conservative Republican Study Committee, he was one of 20 lawmakers who voted 19 times in May and June to strike earmarks from appropriations bills. He refers to himself as Tom “Pork Buster” Feeney.

Marilyn Musgrave used to say less pork means a more ethical congress. But Marilyn's about to lose her job, so that changes things.

Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) is directing three earmarks worth $900,000 to
the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and another $650,000 to projects
in Fort Collins and Greeley.

Hypocrite.

Marilyn's company

Meet Larry Pratt:

Larry Pratt runs the Gun Owners of America, one of Marilyn Musgrave's biggest backers. Like James Dobson, Tony Perkins, and Lou Sheldon, he's just one more right wing extremist Marilyn looks up to.

This is in the University of Northern Colorado paper:

To the average reader, the fact that Marilyn Musgrave brought Kris Kobach to the University of Northern Colorado campus on Sept. 1 means little.

The significance of Kobach's appearance — and the fact that he accompanied Musgrave — comes from Kobach's relationship ties to leaders of extremist groups.

In 2004, Kobach ran for Congress in Kansas and took money from a special interest Political Action Committee run by the wife of John Tanton, who works with Wayne Lutton to publish white supremacist literature. Lutton now edits The Social Contract Press, which sponsors publications that claim America has a biblical right to kick people out.

I can't help but wonder: Is that really what Jesus would do?

Kobach is also affiliated with the right wing Gun Owners of America (they think the NRA is a bunch of socialists), whose executive director is Larry Pratt. Pratt used to edit an anti-Semitic publication, participates in militia activities and addresses white supremacist and Christian Identity organizations. Kobach took money from these people to go to Congress.

Thankfully, he failed.

It should also be noted that Kobach said the bill supporting a guest worker program for the illegal immigration problem is "a time bomb that is just waiting to do a lot of damage."

I find this interesting since Kobach also claims he supports a strong American economy. Perhaps the issue of immigration only goes skin deep for Kobach.

As a taxpayer, student of UNC and constituent of Marilyn Musgrave, I feel she should neither be bringing individuals like Kobach to our campus, nor should she be honoring any individual coming from backgrounds of discrimination, intolerance and hate.

There comes a time when we all have to take a stand to stop such blatant disregard of other human beings.

There is a safe and reasonable way of dealing with the immigration problem in America and Musgrave has proven to me that she is not capable of handling it.

Heck, Marilyn took money from these same people. She uses Lou Sheldon's group to run her fundraising, and they buy their lists from racist hate publications. She is in Tony Perkins' pocket, and he's played in David Duke's kiddy pool. The KKK endorse her. Anything else?

Moral Majority: Keep 'em out of church!

Marilyn Musgrave is part of the Jack Abramoff-Tom DeLay machine, which is kept filled by the Chinese labor sweatshop system the GOP has set up on the Marianas Islands. This radio report tells how they did it. Marilyn Musgrave sits on two committees, Education/Workforce and Resources, which oversees the slave labor conditions on the islands. Marilyn Musgrave has done nothing.

Remember when Ralph Reed lost? Reed was supposed to have a Moral Army come out to save his ass, but they didn't show up. Dengre has a simple explanation:

A consensus is building about the Reed defeat: Forced Abortions are bad for the GOP.

It has been 11 Years since Jack Abramoff began his work to protect a system of sweatshops, human trafficking, force prostitution and forced abortion on the Commonwealth of North Mariana Islands (CNMI).

The Holy Rollers are generous when it comes their leaders spread war, misery, and pestilence. But when it comes to forced abortions, suddenly GOTV doesn't seem so holy, holy, holy. There's more!

Japko said her friend was forced to work overtime most days, even when she did not want to, and had "to sneak out" of the compound whenever she wanted to attend church services.

Especially when the Marilyn's protection racket conspired to keep laborers from going to church!

The GOP record

Record? What record?

Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said.

In other words, don't look behind the curtain.
