OK, one more thing. I know Mr. Kinlow and I like him, but I have a complaint. Kinlow says that he and Strauss are friends going back to college. So, why is Kinlow running against his buddy? With friends like that . . . . End this stupid race, Kinlow. Drop out, Kinlow. Run aginst Marion Barry and beat him. You'll do far more on behalf of DC if you unseat Marion.

Skipper - I promise to abolish the office when we get our vote in Congress. Actually, for my position, language to do just that is in the DC Voting Rights Act that failed by 3 votes. So, I was working towards that goal as part of my idiotic office.

I will vote for whomever promises to abolish this idiotic office if elected.

I think competition is good. If no one was challenging Strauss, the race wouldn't get any coverage, and the whole point of the position is to attract attention to the issue. Someone should be running against Mike Panetta too, not because Mike hasn't done a fine job, but just because competition helps keep things lively and gets people to notice these positions exist.

I thought DC Vote was supposed to be a non-partisan organization whose staff was to work both sides of the political aisle. I'm surprised DC Vote would let its staff use their role to enter a partisan arena. Kinlow needs to make a choice--DC Vote or elective office. He can't do both.

So, D.C. Vote's paid outreach liaison is going to spend the summer opposing our own unpaid Statehood Senator? Just what the Voting Rights Movement needs - a fresh dose of internal strife. I am glad that my donations to DC Vote will be put to such good use. After all, I would hate to think that DC Vote's time and money would be devoted to getting three more REAL Senators to support the voting rights bill. No, an attack our own voteless Senator, is a much better idea. Nice work people!
