Feinstein’s not running…but needs your help anyway
“Only two events left this quarter and Dianne Feinstein needs your help!” trumpets this invitation for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who is not up for reelection until 2012. It’s another great example of how politicians use the end of the quarter, on March 31, as an excuse to pile up dollars, whether they are running or not, as we blogged here yesterday. Feinstein already has $3.1 million cash on hand toward her next race, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

We also post information we receive about parties where members of Congress are expected to participate—such as convention or inaugural parties.
Since we don't hear about all the parties, you can also tell us if you know where the party is and we don't.

I hope that the people that think this lady is doing the USA a favor like socialism. I am old enough that I do not care anymore.
If you care, read enough history to make you realize what made this nation great.
It wasn’t more gov. We started as a notion that we wanted less gov and less restrictions and each person pulled his own weight and Darwinism would determine outcome.
By the way Homosapians ‘are’ animals.
