For only about $20 USD, the caucus could OWN A DOMAIN for three years at a time. I'm planning on doing it myself for an online art studio and gallery I'm forming. All that's required is a subdomain (ex. Geocities, etc.) Once you own a .tk domain, there are numerous web hosting sites that will provide the servers for the site NO CHARGE. Some won't even show ads on the site's pages. Also, I'm really good at online research. If the PDA needs that kind of help, send me an email. No charge.

In this campaign, we are very focused on the idea of common sense, as opposed to partisan pride, guiding legislative decisions. We are glad to see that other people agree that people's safety is more important than some misplaced sense of extremism. We are eager, as you said, to help the 10th District to rejoin the mainstream that is "willing to uphold responsible government." If you are interested, I would love to give you an opportunity to talk to Bobby about this matter.

He just voted against delaying the Columbia Free Trade Act. Only one of 10 democrats to do that. We all know how NAFTA and CAFTA have treated the American worker- We don't need anymore free trade acts until we get our own house in order. We wont take the outsourcing of America the Bush/Mcain crew would wish on us. Send Mr. Hill home with all the other REPUGS. Bad for jobs, Bad for the economy, Bad for Indiana. Support Clearwater: She a clear advantage for Indiana! Baron Hill is a Bush Dog Democrat. He just voted against delaying the Columbia Free Trade Act. Only one of 10 democrats to do that.
