Mikulski to open ‘Checklist for Change’ panel at Democratic convention
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterU.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Baltimore) will make the opening remarks on Tuesday's session of the Democratic National Convention. Mikulski will join a handful of other women Senators to highlight their “Checklist for Change."
“American families want change, and the women of the United States Senate are committed to helping deliver it for them,” said Mikulski in a statement. “From pay equity to protecting the family checkbook, making health care affordable and taking care of our military families, there is a clear difference between the two parties and the two candidates. Voters have a clear choice this year. If they want to move the country forward, the women of the United States Senate stand ready to deliver our Checklist for Change.”
The dean of women Senators was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986. Mikulski was re-elected in 2004 with 65% of the vote against state Sen. E.J. Pipkin.
The Democratic Party will be holding its national convention from August 25-28 in Denver, Colorado. The Republican Party will hold its convention a week later in St. Paul, Minnesota.
PolitickerMD.com will be reporting from both Denver and St. Paul.

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

Do you mean they want to KEEP THEIR CHANGE? If your bud Barry is elected, thats all we will have left is change!!!!
