My 16 year old brother is affected with Autism. I love him more than anything in the world. And I am sick and tired of being told that I do not accept him or I am trying to kill other children if I believe Jenny McCarthy's theories about how he became afflicted with this disorder.

My apologies if anyone else picked this up already.

Last year, Hillary's campaign created an ingenious video parodying the Season Finale of The Sopranos to announce her, well, less ingenious choice of a campaign song.

Vincent Curatola, "Johnny Sack" himself, appeared in this video.

The following is a transcript of the letter I just wrote to Joe Barton (R-TX), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee who's holding up The Combating Autism Act. That bill was passed unanimously in the Senate and Joe Barton is the only man keeping it from going to the House floor for debate and a vote. Read More

I'd like to tell you about my friend, Rick Ford. He's an attorney from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and a longtime progressive Democrat. He's running for the Florida State House in District 83. District 83 is a very split district. George W. Bush and Al Gore tied at 49% in 2000 and the district has been trending Democrat through the years. It encompasses Jupiter Farms, Jupiter Island, Palm Beach Gardens, Juno Beach, Loxahatchee, and Palm Beach.

Rick reminds me a lot of Jon Tester. He's a Progressive Democrat and proud of it. He served as a co-director in Parma, Ohio for George McGovern's campaign in 1972. He's served as an officer on our local Democratic Executive Committee. He was Palm Beach County Volunteer Director for John Kerry in 2004.

He was an Air Force Captain in the Vietnam Era. He graduated from Howard University in 1976 (cum laude) and is now a solo practitioner and works mostly on public employee rights and workplace discrimination cases. This has won him wide support from labor unions. Now let's look at his opponent... Read More

The decision by the Supreme Court upholding gerrymandering makes this a sad day for democracy but underscores the fact that for a true grassroots progressive uprising, we need to take back our state legislatures so we are in control of the drawing board.

Idaho is a generally a real sleeper come election time. After all it is one of the only states left where George Bush's approval rating is over 50%. However, I argue that this year will be different. I will lay out the key races to make my point. Read More

First off, here in Florida we're doing better than we were last election cycle when five out of eighteen house republicans went unopposed by Democrats. We're down to two. Read More

We all know that there is a very disturbing trend within the Democratic Party that we had hoped Howard Dean would solve. That being, the subversion of progressive grassroots politics. It basically proves that the DLC not the DNC runs the Democratic Party. Read More

Fellow Democrats, there is one Democrat who has what it takes to beat the Florida Republicans in 2006. He's everything the Florida Democrats could've asked for and more. He's a man of passion and vision and the man who I believe should be the next Governor of the great state of Florida.

That man is Rod Smith. Rod Smith gained national notoriety after the brutal murders of five students at UF in August of 1990 by Danny Rolling, the "Gainesville Ripper".

In 1994, Rod Smith prosecuted that case and subsequently Rolling is now sitting in jail for his brutal crimes.

In 1992 he was elected State Attorney after beating a two term incumbent Republican and re-elected without any strong opposition in 1996.

In 2000, he gave up the job he loved and ran for State Senate and won with 57% of the vote making him the first Democrat to take a Florida State Senate seat from the Republicans in 20 years. At the same time, Bush won 8 of the 9 counties.

Does anybody know ONE SITE where we can find who the REAL progressive candidates are for the primaries next year? This is going to be vital going into the new year! Filing deadlines are coming up and we need to know who the up and coming Sherrod Browns and Dennis Kucinichs and such are. We don't need to be afraid to run liberals and progressives. Read More
