		<title>Making Washington Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite Senators, Michael Bennet (Colorado), has an absolutely phenomenal proposal to reform Washington. I wholeheartedly endorse it. Here&#8217;s a link. We have so many challenges to face as a country. Yet, as an institution, the legislative branch has lost the faith of the American people. We need to take strong action to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why the Senate needs change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Evan Bayh, senator from Indiana, recently announced he would not seek reelection. Apparently this has freed him to now say what he thinks and potentially become an extraordinary senator in his remaining 11 months. I suspect if he continues to not demonize and instead speak out with common sense against the obstructionist and harmful policies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Endorsed by Wulsin &amp; Hackett</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m humbled to share that former 2nd District Democratic nominees Paul Hackett and Dr. Victoria Wulsin have both decided to support and formally endorse me. Here&#8217;s a link to two bits of coverage.

		<title>Losing our democracy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We, the people, are losing our democracy. I&#8217;ve covered the recent Citizens United campaign finance ruling previously here. I want to talk a little bit more about why this is so important and what we need to do going forward.
The most common question I hear is something close to &#8220;Why doesn&#8217;t government work?&#8221; This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can we make progress?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why can&#8217;t we get anything done? Well extreme partisanship is certainly one of the reasons. News that a &#8220;hold&#8221; has been placed on 70 of the President&#8217;s nominees is certainly disappointing.
Even more so when you note that the same Senator issued this in a press release in 2005:
As a U.S. Senator, I believe that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reclaiming Democracy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There will be no change, until we change Congress.&#8221;
Lawrence Lessig who I&#8217;ve posted about previously, just released an amazing article about the ills of Washington. I agree with much, if not all of it.  The very fundamentals of our democracy are in danger and as our problems mount and our inability to address them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Financial Reform</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like the only thing Congress might be able to get done any time soon will be some kind of financial reform. In an election year, it will be really interesting to see who has the gall to side with big banks (despite being the biggest contributor in Washington) over reigning reckless risk-taking. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Type of economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past decade or so we&#8217;ve chosen to have an economy driven by financial alchemy and debt. Our government gave in to the wishes of the financial services industry and essentially let them write their own regulatory laws. The effects of which we are living with today. Now that we seemed to have, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indigestion from cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article in the Washington Post certainly seems like an example of banks wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Here&#8217;s the choice part:
Currently, they can choose between direct lending and a federal program that guarantees student loans made by private banks. The bill would not affect nonfederal loans.
By cutting banks out of [...]]]></description>
