I spotted an intriguing article from FOX6Now.com. And this article talked about Congress Woman Gwen Moore and what she felt about another one of Governor Scott Walker’s “privatization" move. According to this article Congresswoman Gwen Moore “called on Governor Scott Walker to change his proposal to hire private-sector employees to determine eligibility of food stamps, which news reports indicate jeopardizes $20 million a year the state receives to help 800,000 Wisconsinites buy food.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore "questioning session" to Governor Scott Walker
This is a must see questioning session from Congresswoman Gwen Moore to Governor Scott Walker before the Congressional Committee. I watched the below C-Span video and was amazed by Congresswoman Gwen Moore's agenda of how "terrible" Governor Scott Walker's decisionmaking has been thus far! This is a very informative C-Span "questioning session" for all Wisconsinites to view in order to have an unbiased opinion of what truly is taken place in the state of Wisconsin. In my opinion, Congresswoman Gwen Moore is seeming to be unbiased, loyal to her constituents, and aware of just how terrible our current Governor's Collective Bargaining legislation can become. If any viewers cannot open this C-Span video I will include the URL for your viewing. Go Congresswoman Gwen Moore!

Congresswoman Gwen Moore
In the year 2000, Gwen Moore received a Certificate for Senior Executives in State and Local Government from Harvard University. During the congressional debate in Feburary 2011 on the Pence Amendment proposing to defund the health services organization Planned Parenthood, in response to Paul Broun suggesting that Planned Parenthood promoted racist eugenics because more black women then white women have abortions, Moore spoke about her experience raising children on little money, and why, "planned parenthood is healthy for women, it's healthy for children and it's healthy for our society.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore's (Relationship to Party) 04/25/2011
"Congresswoman Gwen Moore is considered to be a far-left Democrat according to GovTrack's own analysis of bill sponsorship". I have obtained the following graph that displays a bold dot that reveals where Moore is among her peers:
This is an extremely descriptive graph and it shows precisely where Congresswoman Gwen Moore stands which respects to other Democratic Party members. Also which regard to the above graph, "the graph's left-right axis indicates ideology, and the up-down axis indicating legislative leadership".
This is completely an eye-opener for me! I essentially did not know that Congresswoman Gwen Moore took a firm/solid stance as the graph predicts. I was surprised at this graph and what it suggest. For my fellow Congress and The Legislative Process colleagues, stay tuned to my upcoming blogs for more (Relationship to Party) information.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore 03/03/2011
I have done some researching on Congresswoman Gwen Moore's "Election Campaigns". As I did some research I stumbled across Rep. Moore's "Campaign Headquarters/Website". As I read through this website in search of some concrete information on Congresswoman Moore I learned that people like "myself" and you, whomever is reading this particular blog, is her contributors. Congresswoman Gwen Moore's Campaign website seeks people of our caliber. She seeks students, low income, middle income, and even upper income individuals and/or families to assist her through donating to her election campaigns. What I saw on her campaign website was various different links, with different titles, that a person could click on to donate to her campaign. It seemed extremely easy, and a person does not have to be computer savvy to make donations, in my opinion. Representative Gwen Moore actually states on her Campaign website that a person can donate "$10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000", or any amount that you can afford at the time that you would see fit.
Also as I continued searching through various websites in search of information on Congresswoman Gwen Moore's Election Campaign. I spotted two unique and revealing graphs from a website that conveys Congresswoman Gwen Moore's data on precisely how much she earned and spent for her 2010 election.
