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 holiday shopping to match your values (alonovo.com), why nuclear energy is NOT a solution to Global Warming (a sort of preview of a review I will write about Paul Brown's new book on Global Warming), and discuss Pretty Bird Woman House woman's shelter on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. 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 ways you can help win two special elections this coming Tuesday: OH-5 and VA-1. Don't forget to visit an advertiser or two and if you want more, please visit Culture Kitchen.

Some pretty important stuff this week. I urge everyone to pay attention to the article on Pretty Bird Woman's Shelter and to what is going on THIS TUESDAY in Ohio and Virginia. The Ohio and Virginia articles are worth everyone paying attention to because you can help win two more seats in Congress...or at least make the Republicans go into debt to defend two previously safe seats. An hour or two of your time phonebanking from home can help a lot!

Here is this week's newsletter:
