"He's inundated with invitations and requests
from candidates at all levels of the ballot as well as state and local party
committees," a McCain political adviser, John Weaver, said Wednesday.

REMARKS BY SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ) IN THE 2005 ALISTAIR COOKE MEMORIAL LECTURE FOR THE BBC
SUBJECT: "AN AMERICAN PATRIOT TODAY" INTRODUCTION: NICK CLARKE, BBC
THE ENGLISH SPEAKING UNION, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM MONDAY, JULY 4, 2005
MR. CLARKE: It was clarity of language and thought that helped make Alistair Cooke such a powerful promoter of transatlantic understanding. And I have no doubt at all that he would have been honored by the choice of this evening's lecturer, a man whom he once described as "a hero with a gift for believable indignation."
Republican Senator John McCain is one of the most intriguing politicians in the United States. He ran for president in 2000 but was undone by a series of strong personal attacks. In 2004 the Democrats were wooing him as a possible running mate for John Kerry. Despite a deep-seeded antipathy to partisanship in politics, the senator refused to change sides, supported George Bush and is now being talked about as a serious Republican contender in three years' time. ...

SENATOR SAYS MORE MONEY IS NEEDED FOR RESERVATION MENTAL HEALTH
Dorgan says that could help troubled teens and prevent suicides, which are on the rise in Indian Country.
Dorgan says he's working with Senate Indian Affairs Committee Chairman John McCain on legislation that would authorize more money for mental health services on reservations.
Twila Rough Surface is a North Dakota member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe who lost a niece to suicide. She told a congressional committee last month that many Indian families do not have the transportation needed to seek help.

Senator Seeking Change to Indian Gaming Act
Senator Seeking Change to Indian Gaming Act
by Tony Batt
Las Vegas Gaming Wire
WASHINGTON -- Despite protests from tribal leaders in his own state, Sen. John McCain on Tuesday said he plans to amend the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
McCain, an Arizona Republican who is chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, noted during the panel's hearing Tuesday that the tribal casino industry has mushroomed from a $500 million per year industry in 1988 when the act was passed to $18.5 billion last year.
"If any of the witnesses today believe that we do not have that responsibility (to review and amend the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act), then we have a respectful disagreement," McCain said.
McCain is considering strengthening federal regulation of tribal casinos, restricting Indian gaming on off-reservation land and tightening a loophole that allows tribes to pay huge fees to advisers as long as they are described as consultants instead of managers.
Leaders of two Arizona tribes urged McCain not to force tribes to pay more for federal regulation of Indian gaming.
"Additional regulation at the federal level will only duplicate current tribal and state efforts in Arizona," said Vivian Juan-Saunders, chairwoman of the Tohono O'Odham Nation in Sells, Ariz.
Dallas Massey, chairman of the White Mountain Apache Tribe in Whiteriver, Ariz., was more blunt.
"Arizona tribes already fully fund an adequate state-tribal regulatory system and should not be forced to pay for increases in National Indian Gaming Commission fees," Massey said.
When Deron Marquez, chairman of San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in Patton, Calif., said his tribe spends $20 million a year for regulatory oversight, McCain asked how much the tribe receives in annual gambling revenues.
Marquez said his tribe does not disclose that figure. "That's not helpful," McCain snapped.

Senator Mccain votes for CAFTA
will this futher erode the earning power of the american worker ?
xxxxxxxxxx
Senator Mccain votes for CAFTA
''If there's anything we need today,
it's strong, viable economies in Central America"
to encourage political stability and reduce illegal
immigration, Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona,
said during floor debate.
''If people cannot feed themselves or their families
where they are, they will go to places where they
think they can. The stakes are very high."
The Senate's 54-to-45 vote followed a White House
negotiation that brought on board two key senators
who had worried about CAFTA's impact on the US sugar
industry. The senators agreed to the trade deal
with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic
after the White House assured them they would
provide protections for US sugar producers at
least through 2007.
