State Senator Alan Nunnelee has filed organizational papers with federal officials announcing his intent to run for congress, the Daily Journal confirmed today.

This would be for the seat held by conservative Democrat, Rep. Travis Childers of Booneville.

The election for that office is scheduled for November 2010.

The papers filed with the Federal Election Commission are a statement of candidacy and his statement of organization.

We should have sent Alan to Washington to tell the Bush/Cheney regime not to hold us hostage to nonsense record spending and NO to a war of choice.

Pelosi serves great as Speaker and I'm sure that if elected, Alan would work in a bipartisan manner with Pelosi. He's NOT a small brained idiot as some are.

Your obvious envy and/or jealousy of Mrs. Childers is really sad....and I doubt that's an origninal thought that I had when reading your comment. I figure a majority of the viewers had the same thought before I read your comment.

Enjoyed the comment, Kudzu!

How does Childers voting history appear to anyone as a bluedog. He has'nt had an original thought since he got there. It's more of a social event for his high flying wife than a seat for a rep. from MS. Anybody could have placed the votes he has, yes Mrs. Pelosi,no mrs. Pelosi, thank you madam speaker may I have another. Travis started with nothing and wants us to remember so he can be one of us, his wife did to, but she does'nt want anybody to know it so sne can be onr of them.

Childers received $10,000 from Pelosi (personal contribution) for his campaign. He voted for the greatest take over of our freedom without even reading the bill. Childers voted to keep Pelosi as speaker of the house. I want some one to representate my conservative values and freedom. He said he would not vote for government take over of our health care if it funded abortion. What about the provision that tell very sick people to take a pain killer instead of treatment. Heh! Childers was a chancery clerk!! did he resign to ru for Rep.??? Just part of the double standard of his supporters.

Wait a minute. I thought Nunnelee was running against Childers, not Pelosi. Did I miss something?

That's what Sen. Nunnelee, a good state senator, is going to try to make this -- a race against Obama, Pelosi, et al. He'll have a hard time rbeating Blue Dog Childers, one of the most conservative congressmen in D.C. Of course, Nunnelee does have a lot the march-in-a-straight-line Republicans of our area to count on. They've not had an original thought in years.

Is Nunnelee going to resign from the state Senate? Wasn't he elected to serve his constituents? Can he do that while running for Congress? Doesn't he claim to be big on ethics? Or has he become just another Republican? You know, the ones who have our state and nation in such fine shape today.

We need to send Senator Nummelee to Washington and tell Nancy Pelosi that Mississippi will not let her hold us hostage to all the non-sense spending that is costing all of us our future. I think we are better able to run our lives than some beaurocrat from California that only wants power over our lives,
