Progressive Democrat Newsletter Issue 114 Email Print

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. After much pressure from readers, this email newsletter is now going the blog route. I update the blog once a week focusing on both national issues and issues of interest to particular regions or states. In general, NYC, California, New Jersey, Virginia and the Midwest get special attention simply because those are the areas where I seem to have the most readers.

This week I discuss election fraud in Florida's 2006 election, Iowa and Michigan SLAMMING John McCain for hypocricy, corruption NYC real estate, and turning red states blue. If you visit my blog, don't forget to click on an advertiser or two. As usual I also highlight local events and organizations for several states. And, if you want more political and social discussions, please check out our offerings on Culture Kitchen.

This week was pretty big. First off, I just want to say best wishes to Elizabeth Edwards. For those who are interested, I have written something on cancer to help people understand it now that it is in the news a bit more.

This week there was also an escalation of tensions with Iran as some Brits were seized by Iran and have been taken to Tehran. Gulf of Tonkin? Remember the Maine?

Many of us NYC bloggers got invited to a DCCC event honoring Nancy Pelosi. Not only was the invitation a pretty big thing and the event quite enjoyable, but it was also gratifying to hear that a powerful Congressman, Jerrold Nadler, and even Governor Eliot Spitzer read us over at Daily Gotham. We work hard on our blogging, so it is nice to know people in power pay attention. You can read a bit about this evening of rubbing shoulders with big wigs here.

Finally, I just want to end with a quote from Current TV's show "Supernews", which has a Dick Cheney "quote" that pretty much sums up the kind of BS Republicans are trying to feed us:

"Winning and ill-defined war against a vaguely defined enemy takes an indefinite period of time. Anyone who disagrees is just confusing the issue."
