Republicans growing more skeptical of the President
2006-09-18 16:09:02
The New York Times had an interesting article on Friday.Mr. Bush has plenty of supporters in this Denver suburb and the surrounding cities, an evenly divided swing district that is a bellwether in the battle for control of the House. But interviews over the last three days here found Republican s , Democrats and independents all expressing degrees of skepticism about Mr. Bush?s motives in delivering a set of high-profile speeches on terrorism and the war in Iraq two months before Election Day.If the Republicans want to chart a new course on Iraq, Chuck Hagel is the the man for the job.

Public Health Threat legislation
2006-09-15 15:48:04
Senator Hagel has proposed legislation to combat public health threats in the United States.Hagel & Terry Introduce Bill to Coordinate the Reporting of Emergent ConditionsSeptember 14th, 2006 - WASHINGTON, D.C. ? U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Representative Lee Terry (NE-02) introduced today in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives the ?National Reportable Conditions Act.? Emergent conditions are cases or suspected cases of infectious diseases, contaminations and events such as chemical spills, which are of sufficient public health concern to require rapid reporting from state to national health jurisdictions. This legislation would form an advisory board that would create and update a list of emergent conditions and establish standards for reporting. Additionally, an automated federal electronic reporting system would be created to report and analyze emergent conditions. The legislation would enhance inter-agency coordination by certifying a list of reported conditions...

Your reasons for a Hagel Presidency (Part 6)
2006-09-04 20:27:05
Today we continue in the series on "Why do you want Chuck Hagel to be our next President?" Please feel free email in your responses to this question. This is another of the answers posted over at the Chuck Hagel Google Group. I concur with mbbar, particularly in regard to foreign policy. Senator Hagel, like his friend Colin Powell, is an internationalist and does not view organisations like the UN and NATO as being a hinderance at best, but rather as institutions, vital not only to the well being of our friends and allies, but integral to world order, peace and stability. In regards to Citizen rights/privacy, Senator Hagel recently came at loggerheads with the President over a unilateral decision to abrogate a 1978 law prohibiting wiretapping, which the President has declared outdated and irrelevant. This represents a dangerous trend that students of Constitutional Law call Unitary Executive Theory, meaning that the Legislative and Judicial branches have limited ability to counte...

"2008 Corner Store Straw Poll"
2006-06-30 16:10:00
Another measure of early support for potential 2008 candidates is merchandise sales. This is an excerpt from what Hotline had to say on it: If America is truly a market-driven society, then the sales at "Political Americana" in downtown Washington should tell us a little something about which politicians the voters are willing to invest in. The store, located on the corner of Penn and 14th, carries everything from full-size Ronald Reagan cutouts to Washington Monument trinkets. But it also carries a healthy stock of 2008 campaign paraphernalia (all home-made of course) and tracks who is leading what could be called the Corn er Stor e Straw Poll . Republicans were much more spread out: Condoleezza Rice was the fan-favorite. Her ’08 buttons outsold all other GOPers with 14% of the 239 sales. Also in the mix were Mitt Romney with 13% and Rudy Giuiliani, carrying 12%. Where was John McCain, you ask? At a meager 7%, fewer than rival GOP maverick Chuck Hagel (9%). Sure, itâ€...

Thinking of Veterans on Memorial Day
2006-05-29 06:54:00
Chuck Hagel has been supporting a movement to try to create a moment of remembrance for those who have served their country in times of war. Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, a longtime friend of Ms. LaSpada's and the sponsor of the legislation to create the commission, said he was committed to its mission, but he laughs when he thinks about the logistics of actually pulling it off. "You try and quiet down a country of 300 million," Mr. Hagel said. "We're a busy people in a busy nation in a busy world. I think it is entirely appropriate to designate a special time to slow down and stop and think for a moment about the people who sacrificed to make this a great country." The article, Trying to Make People Think About Veterans , is worth a read. So today, take 30 seconds for a moment of silence or a prayer to honor the veterans that have fought for our nation.
