| 1. I am not sure that he supports his Candidacy... |
|
but I am concerned to see the Steve Forbes, Milton Freidman, and Steve Moore of the "Club For Growth" are supporting his campaign. This prooves what we DUers believed all along! The Right Wingers are trying to take this for their own purposes!!! ENRON is the model for what the "Club For Growth" sees a Capitalism!!! This whole thing must be defeated!!!

Chuck Hegel is a Senator from Nebraska. He has a $1 - $5 million stake in Nebraska-based major elections company ES&S. THAT is the company that supplied the machines for 80% of the vote in Nebraska.

| 6. How is Arnold different from Lieberman, or Dean, or Graham? |
|
Arnold sounds like one of those "socially liberal, fiscal conservatives" - a neo-liberal. So perhaps it makes sense that the rich are supporting him.

Read the article. Arnold has always handed out copies of Milton Friedman's Free to Choose, which advocates pure capitalism.
