Document:Statement from Senatorial candidate Jeff Russell

My name is Jeff Russell, and I am seeking the LPNY nomination for US Senate. Many of you already know me, but for those of you, who don't, let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I'm running.

I'm 55 years old and live in Clifton Park with my wife, son and daughter. I have been a member of the LP since 1980. I decided to run for US Senate because I am very disturbed by the stance that Senator Clinton has taken on many issues during her first term.

She has supported the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, and I am very much opposed to all of those thing.
