Woo hoo! Thanks to the Gainesville Sun, Dave is all over the place. After visiting with folks at the swearing-in ceremonies for the City Commission here in Gainesville, the Sun interviewed Dave. They produced this article in Saturday's paper.

Obviously, we're extremely happy to see that Dave is getting respect from the Sun. Already, a couple months ago, the Ocala Star-Banner wrote an editorial about Dave and his campaign.

One of the major facts that the story points out is that our campaign is not as well-funded as $tearn$. Surprise. Cliffy has gotten $1.6 million over the past 10 years from PACs. That seems fair (riiiight).

I'm sorry, it's been forever, but I want to finish up the Stearns-is-a-looza tour report.

Marty and I went to Cecil Commerce Center on the west side of Jacksonville, for the third town hall meeting of the day.

Just before the meeting, I warned Cliffy that people he would meet at the CCC would wear him out about the Cecil Field issue.

You see, right now, the Cecil Commerce Center hosts thousands of new jobs, filled by folks who are living in more than 18,000 houses that have been built in the area since the Navy pulled out in 1993. In fact, Wal-Mart is about to open a new distribution center at the CCC, and NASA wants the first official Spaceport in Florida to be based from Cecil's long runways (one of the longest public runways in the country.)

This is from Politics and Sausage, the campaign blog of Bruderly for Congress ...

"I conducted an interview with Florida Rep. Cliff Stearns, a Republican and staunch member of the religious right. At the time, Stearns was proposing a law to jail any scientist who attempted to make a human embryo through cloning. He opposed cloning and embryonic stem-cell research, he said, because clones would not have "tentacles" like you and me and we'd wind up with "categories of people who didn't have these tentacles, so there might be superior and inferior people. If you met them and knew they were cloned, how would you deal with them?"

-- Brian Alexander, Wired Magazine

So, now that the petition deadline has come and gone, it's time to talk about Stearnsapalooza. Marty, who is working with us in Clay and Duval, joined me last Saturday, as we followed Cliff Stearns throughout North Florida, before a great fundraiser for Alex Sink in Orange Park. Read More

This is the newest entry on our campaign blog for Bruderly for Congress, http://blog.bruderly06.com ... We would love for you to take a look at Dave, a proud member of the Band of Brothers 2006, at his website, http://www.bruderly.com.

State of Emergency...
That is what the folks around here are calling the protest they're going to have, surrounding the State of the Union address next Tuesday. I wrote up a press release and sent it out to all the media folks in our area, so if you don't see a story soon, start writing letters to ask why not?

BTW, before I get into the press release, as a cheatsheet, here is what we're annoyed about with the current powers-that-be: Read More

From blog.bruderly06.com

I was reading a new Gallup poll article today. It made me really unhappy, for a number of reasons. It was about how the public felt about the culture of corruption on Capitol Hill, particularly the latest story, that Jack Abramoff could be turning over on nearly 20 Representatives.

First, let's get one thing straight. Jack Abramoff did not donate to Democrats. Not at all. Here is proof: Proof 1 Proof 2

Open Secrets is not a partisan site. You can look up anyone on there, so see, not partisan. Abramoff just DIDN'T give to Democrats.

Well, it's that time of the week again. I updated the campaign blog and you guys get to look at it here, without even having to go to http://blog.bruderly06.com !

Lucky you

Senior Staff and Dave had a big meeting today at the office. We were basically planning what is going to happen in the next 11 months, and I think we're on the right track. We've got five house parties planned this month. If you would like to host one, we'd love to come out! Just click here and let us know!

We have been working on coalescing our volunteer database, making sure everyone knows what is going on. Also, we have managed to lock up a few people to work as county coordinators, though we DEFINITELY need to get all eight counties locked up as soon as possible.

Our nation is again under attack. The incursion is being launched from 1600 N. Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC.

The White House has decided to spin their little Right Wing Media machine and make it spit out the following talking point: "The New York Times was wrong to leak this story about the NSA spying on our own citizens, just like the leakers who talked about Valerie Plame were wrong."

INCORRECT. The Plame case was a CLEAR violation of a law which states that it is illegal for government officials to reveal the identification of an UNDERCOVER OPERATIVE. That's it. That's the law that was broken when Valerie Plame was outed. Read More

I am sitting here at 2:15 in the 2d of two rooms in the Days Suites in Orlando. I have got to give this place serious props. Free Wi-Fi, three beds in a suite, pretty solid. Which is good, because a bunch of volunteers are staying here, thanks to Dave, so they have somewhere to sleep.

I have lots of pictures from tonight and I will be posting them when we get back and I can P-Shop them, but for now, it's been a great time. I'll try to run through who we met and what happened, forgive me if I miss anything.

It's less than 48 hours until the Florida Democratic Convention (Conference... whatever.) begins at the Contemporary Hotel in Orlando. For those who are Disney-challenged, the Contemporary is the A-frame style hotel that the monorail goes straight through the middle of. I grew up in Orlando and went to Disney all the time as a kid, but this is actually the first time I will set foot on the actual floor of the Contemporary.

This isn't about me though, it's about Dave. He has called and e-mailed all the Congressional challengers throughout the state for 2006 and is getting them all together for an ad-hoc caucus, near the county chairs meeting on Friday. Read More

Is this as important as Iraq, Alito or the other random bits of stories floating around now? No, of course not. This is just a little story about how we have PROOF the culture of corruption is alive and well here in District Six. Rubberstamp Stearns just outright flip-flopped on Social Security. It's not even a question.

If you want to read the original, click on over to http://blog.bruderly06.com. Politics and Sausage is the name of our blog.

Stearns honestly thinks he has a walkover. Dave is busting his tail to prove him wrong. If you want to help, give us a Christmas present.

This is a letter we sent out last night, inviting people to help end the culture of corruption in Washington. This isn't just about Millionaire Cliff, though he seems to be buddy-buddy with Tom Delay. It's more about what the campaign is fighting for, the right of every American to have equal Representation, not to have that right reserved for those who can buy it.

Jacksonville Jefferson-Jackson Dinner (With Howard Dean Pictures!)

The Duval County Democrats held their Jefferson-Jackson Dinner Friday, the 18th, at the Haskell Building in Jacksonville. It was heavily attended by dozens of Jacksonville's Democrats, who welcomed the chance to hear DNC Chairman Howard Dean speak. Dave, Pete and I attended the dinner and met a good number of Dave's supporters on the First Coast. We're hoping that will translate to lots of support and votes from voters on the Westside, in Orange Park, and on the Southside who are tired of a rubberstamp in Congress who tried to destroy the economic progress made at the Cecil Commerce Center.
