Progressive Democrat Newsletter Issue 146 Email Print

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 the latest horrors committed by America's mercenaries in Iraq, a couple of comments on the special elections in OH-5 and VA-1, and the comments from the Anti-Defamation League regarding the Christianization of American plitics. I also do a roundup of local progressive events for places where I have had the most readers over the last couple of weeks including anti-Semitism in NYC, Veterans for Peace in Atlanta, Georgia, and upcoming chances for meeting Rick Noriega in Texas. Don't forget to visit an advertiser or two and if you want more, please visit Culture Kitchen.

Some news items I don't have time to discuss but which are worth attention:

Indiana's most progressive Congressional Rep, Julia Carson, has died.

Ohio's Secretary of State (elected in 2006 to clean up Ohio's voting mess) has issued a report on Ohio's voting mess...with excellent recommendations.

America has been shamed by pretty much the rest of the world into withdrawing it's obstructionism to the Bali conference on global warming...so, in essence, the US has agreed to keep talking about maybe doing something about global warming.

Here is this week's newsletter:
