Any registered user may rate comments. Interest Threshold Users may set an 'interest threshold' to determine which comments they wish to view. By default, users will see all comments rated at or higher than two thumbs down. You can adjust this threshold using the menu at the top of the comments, or you may view specific comments beneath your threshold by clicking on "view comment." Any comment that a user has voted "thumbs down" on is immediately set below their personal interest threshold.
Senator Conrad hosts energy roundtable
The new energy bill signed into law last month represents enormous progress in boosting North Dakota's economy because of its strong support for renewable fuels produced in North Dakota and the Midwest, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said. BISMARCK We are in the sweet spot, he told a group of representatives from conventional and renewable energy industries Friday, pointing to a map showing a deep color in this region. Some provisions of Conrad's BOLD (breaking our long-term dependence) energy plan are in the bill, which he called an exciting beginning. He is disappointed that a tax incentive package for the bill was defeated in the Senate by one vote. It needed a 60-vote majority and received 59. It would have extended wind energy tax credits that make building and operating wind farms financially viable, the industry representatives said.
ChooseYourVote.Org Interviews Presidential Candidate Frank Moore
I replied that the goal was to get the rights for the disabled [and for all people] to be complete and equal…and that included the right to be political. I would not surrender that, or any other, right. So I started doing political columns for underground newspapers, joined Students for Democratic Society and The Peace and Freedom Party. I did political pranks…such as rolling in my wheelchair into the Marines Recruiting Office to join, offering to push the BUTTON with my head pointer. But after the Kent State killings, I switched from straight politics to art, performance, and community building as my tools for effecting social change. In the early 90s I and five other performance artists were targeted by Sen. Jesse Helms in what is commonly seen as the first battle of the cultural wars. This placed me in a great position to fight for our freedoms! 3.
Clinton powers to New Hampshire comeback over Obama; McCain triumphs ...
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton powered to victory in New Hampshire's Democratic primary Tuesday night in a startling upset, defeating Sen. Barack Obama and resurrecting her bid for the White House. Sen. John McCain defeated his Republican rivals to move back into contention for the GOP nomination.
"I felt like we all spoke from our hearts and I am so gratified that you responded,'' Clinton said in victory remarks before cheering supporters. "Now together, let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me.''
Her victory, after Obama won last week's Iowa caucuses, raised the possibility of a prolonged battle for the party nomination between the most viable black candidate in history and the former first lady, seeking to become the first woman to occupy the Oval Office.
