Allan Lichtman: Running for the US Senate

American University political history professor, Maryland columnist, CNN political analyst, and voting rights expert Allan Lichtman, is announcing his candidacy as a Democrat for the open U.S. Senate seat in Maryland. He is running to challenge the biggest, most intrusive, and least responsive government in our history. Allan believes that the Bush administration has turned America’s traditions upside down. Today there is too much government interfering in our private lives, as in the cases of the USA Patriot Act and Terri Schiavo, and too little government meeting our needs, when it comes to funding education, getting us off the fossil fuel economy, and planning to bring our troops home from Iraq.

If you are in the area please come to the announcement and hear about the campaign for yourself. Allan is announcing at his son Sam’s public middle school surrounded by Sam’s classmates and friends. Details below:
