We must boost the Progressives in the Party to really win!
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 04:55 PM by GiveUsHope
We first have to fight the Hasterts and Frists of the world. Next we'll have to fight Pelosi and Reid. But it can be done. We can have left wing politics take over the Democrats as a ruling party. We have to fight harder than hell to do it, harder than ever before, but we can do it.

Progressive Democrats of America has decided to stand in line with World Can't Wait.
And they have the following of their endorsers, with probably the entire Progressive Caucus supporting them:

Brown, Sherrod (Senate, OH)
Bruderly, David (Congress, FL-06)
Busby, Francine (Congress, CA-50)
Conyers, John (Congress, MI-14)
Criscenzo, Jeeni (Congress, CA-49)
Durston, Bill (Congress, CA-03)
Filner, Bob (Congress, CA-51)
Hall, John (Congress, NY-19)
Hoffman, Florice (Congress, CA-40)
Hurst, Andrew (Congress, VA-11)
Lee, Barbara (Congress, CA-09)
McNerney, Jerry (Congress, CA-11)
Olver, John (Congress, MA-01)
Paine, Herb (Congress, AZ-03)
Patlak, Dave (Congress, FL-18)
Sheeler, Carl (Senate, RI)
Trupiano, Tony (Congress, MI-11)
Waters, Maxine (Congress, CA-35)
Watson, Diane (Congress, CA-33)
Weed, Al (Congress, VA-05)
Woolsey, Lynn (Congress, CA-06)
Young, Steve (Congress, CA-48)


So any greens, lefties thinking of sitting the elections out, just know: the progressives are very well active within the Democratic Party -- and they will impeach President Bush and others when Conyers is head of the Judiciary and can subpoena and investigate all the lies and murder.

Drive Out the Bush Regime -- it can actually happen.

2. This is what McKinney said
When I saw her at the premiere of American Blackout, she said there's really two races: one to get elected then one to get on the committees.

It's time for the progressives to stand up in a stealth attack right after the november 06 people get dumped out -- that way there is no way to throw them out of office at that point. They will gain control of the party, even if that means antagonizing their own people. They have to; how much more of regressive policies can we take?
