					<description><![CDATA[Today, Jeff Greene for Florida launched a new viral video and website at www.CluelessOrWorse.com. The parody viral video and website highlight career politician Kendrick Meek’s ties to a criminal fraud case involving indicted developer Dennis Stackhouse. The St. Petersburg Times, in an editorial, said Meek’s explanation of his role in the scandal made Meek &#8220;clueless or worse.&#8221; On the website, voters can learn the facts, watch the video and decide for themselves, by voting if Meek is clueless or worse.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Friday, the Republican Congressional Committee joined Charlie Justice as well as Democratic leaders in Congress in the movement to end the corruptive practice of earmarks that continue to drive the U.S. economy and budget out of control. “It is refreshing to see that even the Republican Party can no longer tolerate the corruptive practice of earmark/pork-barrel spending that has gone on for far too long in our government.

(Not to be outdone, Congressioanl Republicans in a quick round of political one-upmanship, tried to outmaneuver Democrats by calling for a ban on earmarks across the board, not&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After a long absence, the Honorable C.W. Bill Young ventures back into the Tigers’ den. The 20-term Congressman has a rich array of current issues he may choose to address –economic recovery and the stimulus, the health-care debate, energy policy and offshore drilling. Rep. Young is an influential and knowledgeable master of the Appropriations game.

Young’s specialties&#8230;]]></description>
