The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has endorsed Bryan Kennedy over Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner. They have been supporting Sensenbrenner for a looooong time, so this is a great sign! (so was the polling that showed Sensenbrenner under 50%!)

After reading the endorsement, you may want to donate to Bryan Kennedy's campaign.

Just in case you need another reason to support Bryan Kennedy over Jim Sensenbrenner, Rolling Stone Magazine gives it to you here:

No politician better embodies the zealotry of the 109th Congress than Sensenbrenner, chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee. His solution to hot-button issues is always the same: Lock 'em up. Sensenbrenner has proposed legislation that would turn 12 million undocumented immigrants into felons, subject any adult selling a joint to a teenager to at least ten years in prison, and incarcerate college kids for failing to narc on their hallmates. He also wants to prosecute anyone who utters an obscenity on the air. Big fines just aren't tough enough for indecent broadcasts: As Sensenbrenner told a group of cable executives last year, "I'd prefer using the criminal process rather than the regulatory process."

While in the car this morning I happened to stumble across local right-wing radio host Charlie Sykes, who was interviewing Dick Army. Armey talked about Sensenbrenner being a good dark horse Republican candidate for President. I think that Sensenbrenner would be a wonderful Republican candidate and I'd love to see him take on another Wisconsin great, Russ Feingold.

Charisma vs. cronyism, one of the poorest Senators vs. one of the richest Congressmen, Patriot Act Sponsor vs. the lone dissentor in the Senate. Who would you vote for? Here's the poll. Oh, and by the way, be sure to donate to Sensenbrenner's opponent in the Congressional race, Bryan Kennedy. Read More

Another great reason to support Bryan Kennedy, an article from New America Media, Roberto Lovato.

Editor's Note: A look at Congressman James Sensenbrenner's stock holdings shows investments in companies that benefit from the work of undocumented immigrants, as well as firms contracted to build new border security measures. Roberto Lovato is a New America Media writer based in New York.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.--When President Bush signed into law on Oct. 4 a bill authorizing the construction of a 700-mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the man who stood to reap the greatest political profits did not join the president in Arizona. Instead, Congressman James Sensenbrenner is back in his Milwaukee district fending off a growing chorus of local critics who claim he is also reaping financial profits from the very immigration policies he has championed.

Whenever I go to knock on someone's door, I walk up to it realizing that most likely the voter will tell me that they are concerned about the lack of affordable health care. Health care is, by far, the number one issue that voters want to talk about in my district. One hardcore Republican told me that "our healthcare system is fine - everybody gets taken care of in the end." Apparently he hasn't been watching the news or reading the papers for a few decades. According to the National Coalition on Health Care: Read More

It seems that every year we get candidates on the ballot who aren't really going out and campaigning, and that the ones that do have to spend much of there time on the phone. So I've been asking myself lately, how can the netroots support the grassroots? This is what I came up with. Read More

Around the same time that Howard Dean came to town and asked people to support Bryan Kennedy, the DCCC apparently has their own agenda - to re-elect Jim Sensenbrenner. Look at what Kennedy's Campaign Manager (my replacement on the campaign) had to say in a blog entery: Read More

U.S. Senators Russ Feingold and Harry Reid have both jumped on board with Bryan Kennedy's effort to defeat Jim Sensenbrenner come November. Feingold is confirmed to attend an August event as a special guest....., and Reid is a sponsor of the event... he may even come out and make an appearance. Apparently there are several Congressmen/women who are also trying to get it into their schedules. According to Kennedy's Campaign Manager, Bridget Dooley, they are going to try to get the event webcast so that the netroots can participate!

This is exactly what the Democratic Party needs, leaders who are willing to stand up against out-of-touch politicians in districts like Jim Sensenbrenner's. Bryan Kennedy is a good progressive who has been working for years to get rid of Jim Sensenbrenner. Let's join Senators Feingold and Reid as sponsors of the event. There are several different sponsorship levels to choose from, check it out at http://www.actblue.com/....

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called for a DOJ investigation into Sensenbrenner asking lobbyists for a free vacation. The lobbyist group had cancelled the trip, thinking that after the whole Jack Abramoff scandal the trip may look bad (duh!). Apparently JS didn't like that too much. He "felt so strongly" about the taking the trip that he asked the group to reschedule it - an act that may be in violation of federal law.

Here is the press release from the group.

And, of course, help Sensenbrenner's opponent,
Bryan Kennedy, get the message out!

For being the poster-boy of the anti-immigration lobby, Sensensenbrenner doesn't seem to mind using them to make a profit. Bryan Kennedy called on him to sell his stock in any company that has used illegals in their workforce. The press release is below, check it out! And, as always, make sure to support Bryan at www.bk2006.org! Read More

after hearing about exxon-mobile's record profits this morning, i decided to dig into Jim Sensenbrenner's personal finances once more. What did I find? He owns more than a half a million dollars of Exxon-Mobile stock, and over $250,000 in BP. Of course I broght this to the attention of Bryan Kennedy, and we decided to attack Sensenbrenner on the issue. Friends, this is the type of issue that can bring down a Congressman like Jim Sensenbrenner. Check out the press release: Read More
