I do not know that alliance this is, or anything about it. Sounds like I would like to be there if I could.

2. The Alliance for Retired Americans (I think that's the full name) has

3 million members. It is free to people who have been in unions (I think for some years) and others can join for $10 a year. It actually is a union-linked group, if I read their website correctly.
It is a progressive organization, seems to really work for its members...

13. Thanks. I went to the

website and sent a message to my Senators and Congressman. I'm sure Rick Santorum will pay attention to it. NOT

They really got this group together quickly. Good for them.

5. Way to go Dem leadership!

When they don't miss the boat or toady up, I'll be only too happy to acknowledge it. They better stop this thing from passing! I want the New Deal around for awhile yet.

8. This is great, and terrible all at the same time

Don't get me wrong, I'm lovin' this. Needs to be done, absolutey.

BUT -- why does it take a bunch of old people (and before anyone pounces, I'm one of 'em) to wake up our fine, elected representatives? Sheesh. Fucking worthless, they are.
