A Challenger for Bono's seat
http://www.rothforcongress.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=42&lang=us

Roth was mentioned in the paper last summer (sept 2005) and I have been waiting to hear whether he was going to organize and run. I googled for his website and voila.

Here is the snippet from the article http://www.thedesertsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2005509020325

I am really jazzed that we might have an alternative to do-nothing Bono (bonehead)

This woman actually came out and gave $5000.00 to Delay's defense fund not to mention the money she accepted from him to run her campaigns.

If anyone is in the 45th Congressional District in Southern California, this looks promising.

I don't know much about this guy except the article I read (above Desert Sun) and his platform on his website but after the last election where we didn't really have a formidable opponent this looks good.

Check it out :)

1. Your description of Bono as a "bonehead" is apt
It won't be easy to unseat a Republican in her congressional district - even one as dimwitted and feckless as she is. Let's hope Roth can organize an effective campaign, and send her into the retirement she richly deserves.

3. well this guy seems
a little more prepared than Meyer was. I did notice that he is able to raise funds so that will be key in knocking her off the pedestal.

2. She's been busy.....
in the Cloke room with Conni Mack.At least she finally found the decency to get seperated from her current spouse. She voted to not allow gay adoptions in DC. BTW Caesare Bono is getting old enough to enlist, along with Bonnie Garcia's daughter; what are the chances that they'll enlist?
