These numbers are pretty distrubing... this shows us that we can't just sit around and wait for the republican party to crumbel under the weight of their scandels. I think that in the 06 elections we have a real opportunity to take back power in congress, but we have to work for it. We won't have the resources to make the American people aware of the truth about what the republicans in congresss are doing to the country if we are out fundraised at every turn. I know a lot of us are from these states, and I hope that everyone will contribute (with labor or money) to their congressional races this summer.
