He endorsed Obama and then proceeded to differ with the candidate on the critical issues of war, health care, and the economy. Moore says he's hoping Obama will violate his promise to strengthen the US military presence ... http://www.fournierforcongress.org/wp/?p=34 Seven billion dollars in cash got misplaced in Iraq because of the “fog of war.” Either 30,000 or 650,000 Iraqis died in consequence of the U.

Americans live in a decidership, and it has rather suddenly replaced the republic we have been relinquishing over the ... http://www.fournierforcongress.org/wp/?p=30 I participated in a candidate forum on Sunday at St. Bridget’s Church in Manchester. It’s the only opportunity I’ve had so far in this election to discuss issues in public with the incumbent Democrat John Larson and his Republican challenger Joseph Visconti. With the commercial media focused so completely on ... http://www.fournierforcongress.org/wp/?p=28 Bank robbery, generally understood as a crime committed against the banker, takes on new meaning under the legislation that is expected to pass the House today. The bill allows bankers to rob the national treasury to make up for gambling losses incurred by a few of them over the last ... http://www.fournierforcongress.org/wp/?p=27 My opponent Congressman John Larson and a panel of influential local Democrats gave ten good reasons yesterday not to bail out bankrupt bankers and then pleaded for public support to do just that. They held the floor for over an hour and left the public a half-hour to ask questions. It ... http://www.fournierforcongress.org/wp/?p=26
