You may remember Senator Coleman as the designated "attack dog" on TV for the Republican party during the 2004 Democratic National Convention. During his 5 years in office he has strongly supported the Bush administration on nearly every major issue, which has made him the target of many progressive groups.</p> <p>On Wednesday, protesters pretending to be representatives of the health industry, big oil and other "special interests" were lined up with thank you signs outside Republican Norm Coleman's US Senate Campaign Headquarters.</p> <p>Inside, Republican Senator Coleman announced his bid for a second term. Coleman emphasized his optimism and his record, both as mayor of St. Paul and as a senator, in an effort to differentiate himself from likely Democratic nominee Al Franken. </p> <p>Sports were mentioned frequently, particularly hockey. Coleman took several swipes at Franken without mentioning him by name. </p> <p>Coleman said he was going to "work to bring people together to get things done" and attempted to portray himself as a non-partisan.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/33942--special-interests-say-thank-you-to-us-senator-norm-coleman">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/32010-the-pentagon-papers-unedited 2008-12-01T14:47:40Z mikegravel <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xBrNFBabayo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xBrNFBabayo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/32010-the-pentagon-papers-unedited"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/34483" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>In 1971, then US Senator Mike Gravel released a collection of top-secret government documents, deemed "The Pentagon Papers" into the public record, bringing to public light the series of lies and false pretenses under which the United States invaded Vietnam.</p> <p>This is the entirety of the footage the Gravel campaign has obtained thus far, and both the audio and video cut out occasionally.</p> <p>Per request, we put this clip in its entirety on Youtube.

We're finding out many Republicans live alternative lifestyles behind closed doors. They'd do better as a party if they dropped the Family Values crap and went for the Alternative lifestyle crowd. That might give them a little hope as a party since everyone knows what losers and, liars and hipocrytes they really are. Look at this idiot here, railing against the very things he enjoys most. That, friends, is evidence of a sick mind. Vitter wants us to think of his children, but I have to wonder, was his children on the Senator's mind when he was romping about Washington in diapers with prostitutes? It stinks all around.

Seriously, one of the best I have seen yet. The visuals are moving and the story compelling. Noriega, a veteran, state legislator and leader shows how he helped deal with the fallout of Katrina in Texas, went to Afghanistan and Iraq as a soldier and worked with other lawmakers as a state representative.</p> <p>Now I know why everyone has been raving about this guy.</p> <p>And oh how this contrasts with "Box Turtle" John Cornyn, who is a Bush rubber stamp and one of the dumber and more bigoted GOPers in the Senate (and that is saying something). With Cornyn's approval rating in the toilet--with good reason--get ready for this to be a nasty race, as a true hero takes on a slimy sewer-dweller who can only sell hate.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/10193-rick-noriega-for-us-senate">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/5379-sara-taylor-testimony 2008-10-15T09:31:03Z Veracifier <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9FEHNEVeBn4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9FEHNEVeBn4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/5379-sara-taylor-testimony"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/4647" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Senate testimony on USA firings, July 11, 2007</p> </div> <a href="/blog/5379-sara-taylor-testimony">Watch the video</a>
