Personal Notes

Great work putting the party list here! I was too lazy to memorize these and was reluctant to do it. Since I already transferred the article, we should do this work in the main namespace...

Also, we only need the party/state marking the first time the name is used.

Brazilian political parties

PT = Workers' Party (Brazil)
PMDB = Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement
PL = Liberal Party (Brazil)
PSDB = Brazilian Social Democracy Party
PTB = Brazilian Labour Party
PP = Progressive Party (Brazil)
PSOL = Socialism and Freedom Party

Some Brazilian States

Questions

Which form do you prefer?

Vanderval Santos (PL-SP)
Vanderval Santos (Liberal Party)
Vanderval Santos (Liberal Party - SP)
Vanderval Santos (Liberal Party - São Paulo) * this one is probably best -- what about no spaces though?
Vanderval Santos
Vanderval Santos (Liberal Party-São Paulo)

Which form do you prefer?

Workers' Party (PT) * maybe use the first time it is mentioned
Workers Party (PT)
Workers' Party * because it is used elsewhere on Wikipedia -- I prefer Workers Party personally, but we should be consistent
Workers Party
PT

Notes

Instead of "Vote-for-Cash CPI" I suggest using "Vote Buying CPI" because this last one is more widely known (see Google).

Good... I still think we should consider changing the article title as well. I'm not sure to what. Perhaps even the Scandal of the Mensalao.

We also might consider putting the timeline in a separate page at some point... Don't know.

Wiki References

The Executive branch promises to free 1.2 billion reals (547.72 million dollars) for projects to deputies who decide to remove their signatures off the document.  35 deputies decide to remove their signatures. A preliminary count shows 170 signatures of deputies supporting the requirement. Since  the minimun number of signatures of deputies is 171, it seems that the extension will not be appoved.
-November 11  – A new count shows that there are signatures of 171 deputies and 35 senators supporting the extension of the works of the Post Office CPI. The requirement is appoved and the Post Office CPI is extended for 120 days more, until 2006.

The economist told he transported  3 boxes of whisky blanded Johnnie Walker from [[Brasília]] to [[Campinas]] (by airplane) and from Campinas to São Paulo (by car) on July 31, 2002 as a favor to his friend Ralf Barquete . Poleto guarantees the shipment was only whisky. The senators of the CPI asks Poleto to explain the motives for a complex and expensive operation to deliver an alcoholic liquor which can be easily bought in any Brazilian supermarket, including in São Paulo, the greatest   city of Brazil. Vladimir Poleto doesn’t answer.
