FBI Investigates Cut Gas Line at Home of Virginia Congressman's Brother
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyFederal and local law enforcement officials are investigating a severed gas line at the home of Virginia Rep. Tom Perriello's brother, just days after his address was posted online by Virgina Tea Party members. A spokesman for the Albemarle County Fire Marshal confirmed Tuesday that the agency is working with the FBI to investigate a "suspicious incident" at Perriello's brother's home in Ivy, Charlottesville's Daily Progress reported. An aide to Perriello told CNN a line to the propane tank on his brother's gas grill had been cut. "It was enough that he could smell the gas," according to ...
Pro-life Rep. Perriello Says Abortion Concerns Eased, May Back Health Bill
By David Gibson - Politics DailyOne of the House's most pro-life and politically vulnerable Democrats announced Tuesday that he had no concerns about the Senate health care bill's safeguards against abortion financing and sent an important signal that he may back the final measure. The announcement by Rep. Tom Perriello of Virginia, a social justice Catholic whose 2008 victory was stunning given his district's conservative and Republican base, is an important lift for Democratic leaders as they struggle to patch together 216 votes and avoid such controversial parliamentary maneuvers as the "deem and pass" option now under ...
Yes, Global Warming Could Be Cause of D.C. Snowstorm
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyThere's bipartisan agreement on at least one thing in Washington this week: There's a whole lot of snow outside. After two paralyzing storms swept through the District in quick succession, the area was blanketed in almost two and a half feet of snow. Climate change skeptics quickly pointed to the winter storms as proof that Al Gore and climate researchers have their facts exactly backward. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), for example, twittered during the storm on Tuesday, "It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries 'uncle.'" And Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), on his Facebook page, posted ...
The Expat Factor: Making Overseas Votes Count
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyLONDON -- When the large brown manila envelope arrived in my mailbox, I was momentarily flummoxed. "What's this?" I wondered. And then I saw the return address: Illinois State Board of Elections. It was my ballot for the Feb. 2 primary. "Phew!" I thought. "Thank goodness it arrived on time." There are as many as 6 million Americans living abroad, with an estimated 4.9 million of voting age. But although overseas Americans have had the right to vote for decades, the process has historically been riddled with imperfections. According to Stephen Ansolabehere, a political scientist at Harvard ...
Tom Perriello: Virginia's High-Wire House Democrat
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyBEDFORD, Virginia – Normally when a freshman congressman makes an appearance at a middle school to deliver innocuous remarks in honor of Veterans Day, the local police do not send out a protective cordon. But here in southern Virginia, 35-year-old Democrat Tom Perriello has been a target of conservative protesters for months -- and that was before he cast one of the deciding votes Saturday night in favor of health care reform. Wednesday, though, the Bedford police over-reacted, since a driving rain and a patriotic holiday kept the demonstrators down to a handful. In fact, by the end of ...
