Senator $$$ Max $$$ Baucus $$$ Needs Millions to Win

Friends of Max Baucus sent out its first mass mailing to crank-up Sen. Max Baucus's 2008 reelection campaign. Whether Max is walking, or flying in a corporate jet, around Montana this time, he will be packing more cash than accomplishments that mean real improvement in the lives of everyday Montanans. He will again raise millions. He will again be one of the top PAC recipients in Congress. The fundraising letter, signed by Governor Schweitzer and Sen. Jon Tester, did not mention the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq -- or Columbia, Somalia or Palestine.
