Van Hollen

The brutal Russian invasion of neighboring Georgia exemplifies the worst aspects of nation-state behavior. Yet it also highlights our own nation's guilt for such crimes, as well as the complete failure of our current system of international relations, one still based largely on military alliances, confrontation and conflict.

Gordon Clark, candidate for U.S. Congress from Maryland’s 8th district, today added Ben Marcus, a veteran of numerous previous political campaigns, to his campaign staff in the position of Campus/New Media Coordinator.

In 2006, President Bush observed that our nation is "addicted to oil." Now, in 2008, my opponent Rep. Van Hollen is arguing with the president about where we should get our next fix.

There is no mission more critical for our nation right now than converting swiftly from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable energy economy, and Sen. Sanders' bill is a big step in the right direction.

While our Democratic-led Congress claims to oppose the Bush Administration's reliance on military action and war in the Middle East, it appears they are actually partners in inciting a new war with Iran.
