The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. I have try mixing my own rants and ideas, with national issues, news items, and some very local groups and events in an attempt to both help shape debate and to help people find their own ways of getting involved.
This week I discuss a couple of major victories (one familiar to the dKos community, but only covering it now in my newsletter). I also continue to highlight the REAL Rudy Giuliani, countering some of his lies about 9/11/ I also do a roundup of local progressive events for places where I have had the most readers over the last couple of weeks. Don't forget to visit an advertiser or two and if you want more, please visit Culture Kitchen.
Exciting times aren't they. The primaries are heating up, reminding us what REAL primaries are like. Been awhile since we had no clear frontrunner in either party. I know many of you have your preferences, but I personally remain undecided and like all the Dem candidates, more or less. I would eagerly support ANY of our Dem candiadtes against ANY of the sad lot the Republicans have running. I discuss this on Daily Kos in a diary called "Can I vote for All of the Above?"
This week's newsletter includes some really good updates. Sometimes we win battles and recently we won a couple...at least for now. So, perhaps more optimistic than usual, here is this week's newsletter:
