If you care at all about Big Money in Politics............
..... this should interest you. Of course it will go down along partisan lines (just as the blog entries at bottom of article) but what do YOU think? http://themoderatevoice.com... Now that the proverbial "shoe is on the other foot" as far as who has the REAL money, we are witnessing a "C" change in Dem remonstrations on public financing of campaigns, but just watch the Dems emphasize: 1) He never REALLY promised 2) Public financing legislation is meaningless (now that the prodigious fund raising Obama machine is in play)

McShrub's a complete clone of the Worst President Ever, but calling him a worm just because he violated his own campaign-finance law is...oddly appropriate. posted by

McCain, Helped by Republican Party, Has More Money Than Obama By Jonathan D. Salant and Kristin Jensen June 21 (Bloomberg) -- John McCain, who was outraised by a 2-1 margin by Barack Obama during the presidential primaries, entered June with almost as much money as the presumptive Democratic nominee. When combined with the Republican National Committee's bank balance, McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, had more money to spend than Obama during the three months leading up to the national party conventions. McCain, an Arizona senator, had $31.6 million as of May 31, compared with $33.3 million for Obama, Federal Election Commission records show. The RNC had $53.5 million to just under $4 million for the Democrats. The party committees act as shadow campaigns, concentrating their efforts on backing the presidential candidates. Obama, 46, and Democratic fundraisers have turned their attention to filling the DNC's coffers now that the Illinois senator has secured the party's nomination. A fundraiser at Ethel Kennedy's Hickory Hill estate in Virginia earlier this week netted close to $6 million, and a May 31 event in New York City headlined by former Vice President Al Gore brought in around $1 million more. ``There are going to be lots of people who are going to come now to help the DNC,'' said Clay Constantinou, a former U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg who raised more than $1 million for Democrat John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign. http://www.bloomberg.com/ap...

I notice that the Dems *AND* the Obamessiah have caved in on FISA again. BTW, Chico, I was reading the liberal whining about Obama's support for the cave-in and noticed what looks like an old Friend of yours. Look and see if the third commenter's avatar isn't familiar. Here's the link. He goes by "yesivotedforbush".

Shortages, Prices Hit California Food Banks as Schools Recess
June 23 (Bloomberg) -- Turning dozens of hungry children away from a free meals program wasn't how Vince Harper wanted to start the summer. Harper oversees a program in Santa Rosa, California, that provides food to kids during schools' summer recess. More than 90 lined up at a community center on June 9, the first day of the service. Only 50 meals were available. ``It's a terrible feeling,'' said Harper, 41, director of youth and neighborhood services for the Community Action Partnership of Sonoma County. ``You have to tell them to come back tomorrow, and hopefully they will.'' As California schools let out this month, food banks in the state face record demand for free meals from families pressed by food price inflation and economic hardship. Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties has requested extra donations, saying 115,000 children may go hungry in the region. The San Francisco Food Bank has been forced to find new sources to distribute enough food for 66,000 meals a day, a 16 percent increase from last year. ``There are some kids this summer that might not have enough food because they're not getting meals at school,'' said Marguerite Nowak, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Food Bank. In California, a state with 36.5 million residents, food banks serve about 5 million people per month, said Jessica Bartholow of the California Association of Food Banks. Some food banks say they are having trouble meeting demand because of a 59 percent drop in goods provided by the federal government, forcing them to buy more food while prices are rising. Manufacturing efficiencies also have decreased the amount of surplus and defective products typically donated by companies, food bank employees say. Graduation Ceremony In Kettleman City, California, about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, kindergarteners took a break from their June 6 graduation ceremony to go to a food bank. ``They walked across the street in their Sunday best to get food from us so they could eat that weekend,'' said Dana Wilkie, president of Community Food Bank in Fresno.
