Ormanput his own political lessons
from the classroom to action recently
with an attemptto remove Democratic
Vice Presidential nomines SenatorJo-seph
Lieberman (D-Conn.) from
Connecticut's senate race this year.
Vice PresidentAl Gore selected Sena-torLiebermantobehis
runningmatein
the 2000Presidential Campaign earlier
this year. In accepting this offer, voters
assumed thatLiebermanwouldresign
fromhis Senate position andremovehis
name from this year's ballot, so as to
concentrate on the Gore/Lieberman
nomination. This has notbeenthe case.

much to the disgust ofDr. Orman,
a resident ofTrumbull and outspoken
opponent of Lieberman's actions.
"When someone makes the decision to
runfor agovernmentposition, he or she
is promising to serve the American
people in the event that he/she is
elected," said Orman. "By runningfor
both positions, he cannotguaranteehis
services to the people ofConnecticut.''
Orman does not feel Lieberman can

run a "frivolous" and "self-indulgent"

"Lieberman's actions are unethical,
