New Senate Poll Shows McConell Up

poll continues to lurch along, this time towards Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell. The poll shows McConnell up by seven points (48-41) over
perennial candidate Bruce Lunsford.Last month, Rasmusson asserted that McConnell
was down by five points. It's hard to believe a poll that swings twelve points
for no apparent reason.McConnell's favorable rating, according to the poll, is
56 percent (40 percent unfavorable). Lunsford is viewed favorably by only 43
percent (46 percent negative)...." from Elephants in the Bluegrass

Sen McConnell $100,000 cars not a solution

"Senator Mitch McConnell believes that along with conservation and the development of new technologies, part of any serious long-term solution to our energy crisis must include increased domestic energy exploration and production. The way to lower energy prices is to increase our supply of energy. By opening areas to exploration and production that are currently off-limits including wilderness and off-shore areas, we can create American jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil...."

Drill Now, Drill Here, Pay Less

"American Solutions for Winning the Future announced today that more than half a million Americans have now signed a petition urging Congress to immediately start drilling for oil domestically to lower gas prices. The petition is part of the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” campaign American Solutions launched a few weeks ago.

The petition reads:

“We, therefore, the undersigned citizens of the United States, petition the U.S. Congress to act immediately to lower gasoline prices (and diesel and other fuel prices) by authorizing the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries.”

According to American Solutions’ new research data, 81% of the American people support the U.S. using more of its own domestic energy resources, including the oil and coal already here, to combat the rising cost of energy and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources. This belief is so widespread it is supported by a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and independents.

“Hard-working American families are struggling to pay the soaring prices for gas, diesel, food, electricity, and everything else affected by the high price of oil,” said Dave Ryan, American Solutions Executive Director. “The voices of more than half a million Americans are united in demanding that Congress offer real solutions to our energy challenges, starting with taking immediate action to drill here and drill now.”

Mitch McConnell- Kentucky Special Diabetes Program

"In Kentucky, over 260,000 people have diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2), a number that represents over 8 percent of our population. This disease cost Kentucky almost $3 billion (in health care and lost productivity) during 2004. This number will only increase without continued support from our elected officials. The complications of diabetes are horrific and include blindness, kidney failure and heart disease.

One federal program that is producing real results and accelerating our timeline to a cure for diabetes is the Special Diabetes Program, or SDP. The SDP has produced tangible research breakthroughs including the continuous glucose monitor and new drugs to treat diabetes complications....." from Team Mitch
