Progressive Democrat Newsletter Issue 139 Email Print

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Having organized protests against the Republican Convention, I found I had a core of activists who were looking to me for support after Bush "won" re-"election". My carefully thought out suggestions as to where we could go from that defeat led to this more-or-less weekly newsletter.

This week I discuss fighting the Burmese dictators and making money by investing in alternative energy. I revisit from last week targeting one of the most horrible, corrupt, anti-science Republicans, Joe Barton, one of the Katrina 11. I also focus on local actions and events in New York State, New York City, Texas, Virginia, California and New Jersey.

George Bush and His Republican Reign of Error Email Print

Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the horrifying mistakes made in the Bush Administration's awful reign of error is Bush's refusal to recognize his vast mistakes.

Of all the Ten Commandments, perhaps the most imperative one is "Thou Shalt Not Kill."

After World War One, President Woodrow Wilson worked vigorously for the League of Nations to insure there would never be another world war.  After World War Two, international statesmen recognized the necessity of the United Nations.

Having seen what the 50 million death toll of World War Two had brought about, it was glaringly apparent that the maniacs who brought this debacle about must not be allowed to plunge the world into such hell ever again.

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Having organized protests against the Republican Convention, I found I had a core of activists who were looking to me for support after Bush "won" re-"election". My carefully thought out suggestions as to where we could go from that defeat led to this more-or-less weekly newsletter.

This week I discuss a very personal conflict with Homeland Security, which involved first bad news, then, on appeal, excellent news. Sometimes our court system works! I also cover the response our troops have for Rush Limbaugh, responses to Bush's opposition to healthcare for American children, and I discuss the situation in Burma. I also am finally getting back to some more local stuff including local events in NYC, a brilliant plan for winning in Colorado, and some local Virginia and New Jersey stuff.
