TIME TO HEAL When did so many in this great nation of ours turn into callous, cold, uncaring and selfish souls as characterized by many in the Republican and Tea Parties? The ad nauseam, vicious verbal battles being waged over the Affordable Care Act are reminiscent of an ugly, oozing sore not allowed to heal because we just keep picking at it. ACA is the law of the land. Why keep wasting precious time trying to repeal it? To a person on the Republican side of the aisle among the U.S. Senate contenders, the hue and cry is “repeal Obamacare.” It’s like a broken record. The three of us Democratic contenders are at polar opposites with the Republicans. We are in support of ACA and seek to improve it, not delay or repeal it.

We have enough millionaires in Washington who are out of touch with our everyday realities of astronomically high utility bills, mortgages, college tuition's, car payments, medical expenses, etc. For the past 7 months since our announcement for office on t...

The blatant disregard of other Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate and publicly stated support and other actions favoring one candidate over others is a clear violation of party rules, thwarts the democratic process and perpetuates ‘good ole boy’ blatantly discriminatory practices,” said Senator Miles. “It is not a go...
