35. I've been strongly questioning the Gore push --- + Cohen didn't even mention Liebermann -- !!!!
Now, obviously many Americans had no idea of who Liebermann really was -- a religious fanatic, for one. But, since he was Jewish -- and I can understand that a large part of the nation was thrilled to see him included -- it was difficult to question his fanatacism.

Now, we seem to be able to --
but now we know so much more about Liebermann -- i.e., that he's a Republican!!!!

But, how could it be that Gore who served with Liebermann for so many years didn't know him . .
OR, worse yet, knew who Liebermann really was and picked him anyway???

I think the Gore push is dangerous -- but, given the fanatical levels of support for him -- which I don't understand --- I've signed the petitions.

I don't think people change -- Gore had a lifelong backing from one of the large oil companies, for one thing. I think he is part of the Establishment, most of all.

Do we hear Gore calling for the nationalization of our oil industry?
Or Electric cars -- ?

No . . .

No . . .

No . . .

9. Oh, yes, and I've written in-house and open copy for them, too!
Last year I synopsized and edited the various "histories" of PDA for Laura Bonham and put it all into one doc, and also helped PDA expose the attempted land grab in the Red Rocks area of southern Utah.

I got tees and bumper stickers! I still wear the 50 state tee made up of auto tags every week!

16. I have set up a chat room for progressive Democrats.


http://dmocrats.chatango.com/




Would you consider joining these telephone campaigns and spreading the word to your membership, and fellow progressive groups? I have created these campaigns to peacefully take back America.

Thank you.


Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.

Call GOP contributor Rite Aid at 1-800-325-3737 and tell the person to get the CEO to get the GOP to enact HR 676 Single payer universal health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until that happens, you won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.

Call GOP contributor Wendy's restaurants at 614 764-3553 and Tell the person in public relations that you want their CEO to get the GOP to help enact a $10/HR MIN. WAGE into law and until this happens you will not go to a Wendy's Restaurant.

36. I'm with PDA.
I'm one of the almost 180 members of the Arizona Democratic Progressive Caucus within the Arizona Democrats State Committee too. That's 180 out of 430, the LARGEST caucus.
