Governor Howard Dean issued a statement today offering condolences on the death of former Congressman Parren Mitchell.
Last week's election provided many despicable efforts on the part of the GOP to intimidate and deceive American voters. Last Tuesday, despite the efforts of Republicans, the American people went to the polls and rejected the Karl Rove politics of hate and division, and overwhelmingly voted for fundamental change.
The Washington Post reported today on a Republican effort to distribute a guide for GOP “poll watchers in Maryland [that] spells out how to aggressively challenge the credentials of voters and urges these volunteers to tell election judges they could face jail time if a challenge is ignored.” The Post's exposure of these GOP tactics, along with the Democratic Party's expansive voter protection program in all 50 states, will help ensure that every American’s right to vote is protected.
This Friday the Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee, with the support of the Democratic National Committee, will kick off its “Time For Change” tour to help get out the vote in key states including Ohio and Maryland.

Unfortunately Republicans are up to their same tricks and gimmicks and have used the urgent need for a minimum wage increase as blackmail to try to pass a fiscally irresponsible estate-tax cut bill that would cost tax-payers $735 billion dollars. Republicans should stop playing politics by giving tax cuts to their special interests friends and support a straight up or down vote that doesn't turn the minimum wage bill into a poison pill.
Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich(R) refused to co-sign a letter urging the President to increase the federal minimum wage without connecting it to the estate tax, sponsered by Democratic Opponent Martin O'Malley. "[T]he Congressional Republican leadership has endangered the prospects of...
