OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Governor Douglas on Carolyn Branagan
"Rep. Carolyn Branagan is a key ally and leader
in our fight to make Vermont more affordable.
From reducing health care costs to capping
property taxes to putting an affordable college
education within reach of every young Vermonter,
Rep. Branagan is committed to our Affordability
Agenda in the Vermont Legislature.
Rep. Branagan is also a determined advocate for
legislation to protect our children and families
from violent and sexual predators.
I hope the people of Fairfax and Georgia will
re-elect Representative Branagan so I can continue
to work with her on these critically important
issues."

What's Up in Washington, D.C.

for all the problems men face." --Ronald Reagan
Presidential Primary Coverage
Numbers are approx. % of total votes (in our eyes).
Democrats: Obama 47, Clinton 45.
Republicans: McCain is the nominee.
John McCain came to Burlington
U.S. Congressman Peter Welch's Website
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy's Website
Leahy's Website Wins Award
Senator John McCain
U.S. Senator John McCain issued the following state-
ment on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton & Senator
Barack Obama's votes against emergency funding for
our troops in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan:
"I was very disappointed to see Senator Obama and
Senator Clinton embrace the policy of surrender by vot-
ing against funds to support our brave men and women
fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. This vote may win
favor with MoveOn and liberal primary voters, but it's
the equivalent of waving a white flag to al Qaeda."

The climate sure is changing !!!

What about Al Gore and Polar Bears ?
USA Today article by Tony Snow about
Vice President Al Gore & Global Warming

A past Newsweek article from April 28, 1975 warned us
about the future and bad politicians who wouldn't
SAVE US FROM GLOBAL COOLING
My favorite part is the idea to transport ashes
to cover and stop the growing ice cap.

Meeting Barbara Bush
I may be going out on a limb, but I'm guessing an
invitation to meet Barbara Bush was the biggest
honor The Fairfax News, has ever received.
The former first lady was charming, humorous and
inspiring to a large crowd at the Sheraton Inn.
Mrs. Bush came to help Martha Rainville's cause
in this pre-primary fundraiser.
Andy Potter of WCAX was there.
