eNAPUS Legislative and Political Bulletin
With slightly more than a week before the November 4 Congressional elections, it is abundantly clear that political ground zero will be the fight to control the U.S. Senate. Democratic incumbents are being forced to defend a growing number of Senate seats that only a few months ago seemed to lean in their favor. At the same time, three seats that appeared to be securely in the Republican column,or leaned in that direction, are now competitive. The emergence of a formidable Independent candidate has shifted the landscape in two of those states.
The three seats most consequential to NAPUS members, and the postal community, are held by the Senators currently sitting on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee
Senators Begich, Landrieu and Pryor — all strong NAPUS allies — are fighting for their political lives. Although these Senators have ably represented their home states, President Obama’s dreadful favorability rating within Alaska, Arkansas and Louisiana is hurting. The president’s lagging popularity is also impacting Senate races in nominally competitive states such as Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and North Carolina — all states currently represented by a Democratic senator,Three Republican states have also become competitive in the waning weeks of the campaign:Georgia, Kansas, and Kentucky — and South Dakota has become interesting. Both Kansas and South Dakota are fielding strong independent candidates.

Erick, George Soros is Hungarian and he came here from Hungary in 1947, you’re welcome. Now beat it, troll.
ImagineNation: Yes he is a Hungarian Jew. Did you not see his interview on 60 minutes awhile back? He admitted turning in other Jews to save himself.
Did you know that Koch brothers employ thousands of Americans? They own Georgia Pacific that probably employs hundreds in your state. Anyway George Soros supports Democrats throughout the country. He is a Jew who turned his own people into the Nazis during WW2. Do you want that person backing the DEMS??
They don’t want to hear facts like that, Erick. In fact, most liberals have no clue who the Koch brothers or George Soros is, they just echo what they are told by their masters. Which is bad, in that too many voters have really no clue who they are voting for, just that there is a D or R by the name.
Pryor will be defeated. He’s down 8 points or more thanks to the GOP running attack ads for Tom Cotton blasting Obamacare and linking Pryor with the president on everything. Cotton voted against funds for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital, women’s shelters, and disaster funds for Mayflower and Vilonia, which were practically wiped off the map. He is a Koch sucker through and through but thanks to the racist rednecks too stupid to read a ballot he’ll get in.
Pryor voted GOP so much that in his last Senate run the Republicans didn’t even bother fielding an opponent because they felt they didn’t have to. While I hate Cotton, Pryor did it to himself.
What good is it to keep your job in a country that is, sick and dying, under constant threats from other nations, uber-racist, bankrupt, constantly stealing from the workers to give to the non-workers, dissolving the borders that keep us safe, snooping on literally everyone, and allowing our votes to be nullified by fraud.
Elections do matter!! Do NOT elect any of the listed useless idiot ENABLERS!!
NAPUS, you are doing NOTHING! You don’t deserve your cushy jobs!
