Chris Dodd for President's New Campaign Ad: Getting Results for Change
Where did Chris Dodd get that white hair from?
Did it come from his time in the Peace Corps or in the military? Maybe it happened as he fought for seven years to pass the Family and Medical Leave Act? How about while negotiating peace in Central America and Northern Ireland, or his 26 years on the Foreign Relations Committee?
Dodd gets political on CA fires
Dodd became the first presidential candidate to politicize the Southern California wildfires today while speaking in Chicago at an International Association of Fire Fighters conference. Saying that he is proud the federal government “has gotten funding down to those cities and jurisdictions” affected by the fires, he added, “For a fire this size, we still need more; I think we can do more, and I will.”
Dodd Leads; Obama and Clinton Follow, Sort Of
There’s a huge difference between people who are actual leaders and who happen to want to be President, and people who want to be President so they can be the leader. We’re seeing that difference right now in the debate over whether the FISA bill will award retroactive immunity to the telecoms for their complicity in the Bush Administration’s illegal spying programs.

The members of the International Association of Fire Fighters have no greater advocate or leader in the United States Senate than Chris Dodd (D-CT). His tireless work on behalf of fire fighters, emergency medical personnel and their families has helped make the fire fighting profession safer, more adequately funded and equitable to those on the frontline. Chris Dodd currently serves as the chair of the Congressional Fire Service Caucus and is one of only two recipients of the IAFF Lifetime Achievement Award.
