House passes $2 minimum wage increase – with a $750 billion estate tax cut
On July 29, 2006 the House voted 230-180 to raise the $5.15 hourly minimum wage in three 70-cent steps until it reaches $7.25 in mid-2009. The possible increase in the minimum wage is way overdue but the only way Democrats could get it passed was to let the Republicans ‘tack on’ an estate tax cut which overwhelming targets the wealthy.
Please join me in encouraging our US Senators to support increasing the minimum wage but without adding the ‘sneaky’ estate tax cut which benefits the top 1% of the wealthiest Americans.
Initially, I thought the minimum wage increase was the highest priority and I couldn’t care about the estate tax. Then I learned that the Estate tax would cost taxpayers $750 billion. «Read the rest of this article»

“Collective Punishment” Fuels Middle East Crisis
In the light of recent events in the Middle East, policy makers in the United States must take a stand against state sponsored terrorism. We have a grave moral responsibility in this crisis to take a stand for peace and against retribution.
The people of the United States must acknowledge the role we play in the current crisis in Israel, Lebanon, Gaza and Iraq. Our responsibility lies in our support of the state sponsored agression by our government and the government of Israel against innocent women, children and other non-combatants. «Read the rest of this article»
Record Results
On the West side of District we have seen record turnout during the early voting period. Shelby County alone set a new record, 78,899 votes compared to the earlier 24,000 vote record!
August 3rd is just a few days away. I encourage everyone to get out and rally behind your candidates. Get your family, friends, co-workers and people you see at the store out to vote. Together, we can make this election one for the record books.
Can we trust paperless voting using electronic machines.
We all know that computers some times have a mind of their own, they are subject to programming errors, software bugs, hackers, viruses, and even random unexplained glitches. You may not have thought about them in this way, but electronic voting machines are also computers. Can we really trust them? «Read the rest of this article»
Montgomery County Home Sales Remain Strong In Defiance of National Trends

Barbara M. Brown, I am running for the Montgomery County Commission District 2
This site is an encouragement to everyone to participate in the electoral process. It is extremely important for all registered voters to VOTE in the county general election.
The County Commission, among other duties, sets the county tax rate and approves the county budget, including the amount spent on education, infrastructure, and public safety. It is also important that commissioners represent the broad spectrum of our community.
In the Montgomery County Commission Race for District 2, I bring a proven record of 29 years of community service. I began with the Cub Scout program at St B where I served as Cubmaster for 6 years and then directed the district day camp program for 2 years. When my sons were in Little League and band, I also supported those programs with volunteer service and leadership. «Read the rest of this article»
