That would be Bob Warner's piece on Unity 2001, the PAC that is run by one of Brady's congressional aides. It's also headquartered at Brady's 34th Ward office.
The real question here: Are unions skirting the campaign finance laws by giving the max - $20,000 - to Brady, and then by giving money to PACs that also gave to Brady?
From Bob's story:
The Daily News reported in February that three labor unions that gave maximum $20,000 donations to Brady last year - the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters, Plumbers Union Local 690 and the Washington office of the painters union - also made significant donations to other political organizations supporting Brady.
Unity 2001 was one of the PACs cited by the Daily News.
Nearly all the money that Unity 2001 raised in 2006 - $52,500 out of $56,000 - came from the same three unions that gave maximum donations directly to Brady: the carpenters, the plumbers and the painters.

Brady comes from the same cloth as Street where these kinds of things are just the way things are done. I'm not sure they even realize there's anything wrong with it.

Street comes from rendell who now gives us knox and fattah....say not to them and yes to Brady!

Know the facts.
Bob Brady outright LIED to everyone, just get STREET re-elected. He even admits doing so.
That he may have received shady union donations is no big news.

Anonymous...Since you won't reveal who you are, then how could anyone believe anything you say is true. You can't say something about someone and not be able to back it up with facts. If you want to be believed, them you have to give your name and your facts. On the contrary, if you can't back up what you say then everything you say has no credibility. No one will take you seriously when you're lying about who you are. Then eveything you say is a lie. Unless you can back up what you say with facts, no one will take you seriously. No one listens to someone who doesn't have facts and won't say who they are

Anonymous, it sounds like you have the HOTS for Brady. You just can't seem to get him off your mind. You just live and breathe for Brady. But remember, he's married. However, Dwight's available.

Erin,
Look it up, PhillyMag interview with Brady. He admits he was just "spinnin' the sh!t" about the "bug" being a dirty trick.
He has gone as to say he admires Tom DeLay, and that he wishes the Dems in Congress had someone like him (I'll let you research DeLay if you are not familiar).
Believe it or not, it's all out there in print.
It matters little, his candidacy is stagnant.

Philly Mag person: Did you really think the bug in the mayor's office was a Republican conspiracy?
Bob Brady: "Nah, I was just spinning the shit. And it worked."

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Thanks for the article. I have usually seen that the majority of people are wanting to lose weight simply because wish to look slim along with attractive. Nonetheless, they do not constantly realize that there are other benefits to losing weight as well. Doctors claim that over weight people suffer from a variety of diseases that can be perfectely attributed to their particular excess weight. The great thing is that people who definitely are overweight as well as suffering from various diseases can help to eliminate the severity of their illnesses simply by losing weight. It is possible to see a steady but marked improvement in health whenever even a small amount of fat reduction is achieved.

Article submission is an extremely powerful process and too be honest I am not sure wether i agree with doing it automatically. My current SEO stratergys for article marketing are fairly simple. I outsouce an article to be written by a professional english writer, the article must contain at least 1,200 words and be of extremely high quality. Next i will submit it to the top 20 article websites based on Page Rank and traffic. After submitting the articles i will then do some basic backlinking and bookmarking to make sure they get indexed by the search engine spiders. I find that doing article marketing this way works extremely effective however i suppose that having the software submit less quality articles to the less dominant websites and then submit to the ones manually that you can't use a tool for with your quality article because at the end of the day quality backlinks never hurt anyone.
