The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Having organized protests against the Republican Convention, I found I had a core of activists who were looking to me for support after Bush "won" re-"election". My carefully thought out suggestions as to where we could go from that defeat led to this more-or-less weekly newsletter.

This week I discuss fighting the Burmese dictators and making money by investing in alternative energy. I revisit from last week targeting one of the most horrible, corrupt, anti-science Republicans, Joe Barton, one of the Katrina 11. I also focus on local actions and events in New York State, New York City, Texas, Virginia, California and New Jersey. Don't forget to visit an advertiser or two and if you want more, please visit Culture Kitchen.

This week I am focusing a little more on local stuff because a fair amount has caught my attention in various states. But I start with some very critical national actions: supporting real democracy in Burma and discussing alternative energy as an investment.

Remember, visiting some of the advertisers and shopping at palces like Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble from this site helps to keep me going here. And if you want more political blogging, please visit Culture Kitchen.

Here is this week's newsletter.
