Moul to challenge Fortenberry

[LiberalAndProud]

Former Lt. Gov. Maxine Moul strode into the 1st District congressional race Tuesday with a pledge to attack deficit spending and address Medicare prescription drug problems.

“Congress must devote its time to solve the spiraling federal debt and the failure of the new Medicare drug prescription plan to provide critical medications to our senior citizens,” she said.

Moul, 58, officially filed as a Democratic candidate for the eastern Nebraska House seat held by first-term Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry.

Other issues on her agenda, she said, will be the rising cost of health care, education policy, a sustainable Social Security benefit program, national security and “bringing our troops home safely from Iraq.”

1. I love this

Oh Boy! Back to ethics, vision, and true compassion for the working families.

We really need her!

Even consider helping with the campaign - do whatever you can.

You know Fortenberry will have all his
religious kooks and the right wing money.

This is HUGE!!

2. She saved my monthly check to the state Dems.

I was about to go change my voter reg to "independent" thanks to Ben's shenanigans.
