Step aside, we’re coming through

Not that there’s much of anything left, but if you’re fed up with the lack of progressive action in Washington, you might want to consider this pledge . ” What does taking the pledge mean ? It means that when Democratic ‘leaders’ tell Americans we must settle for watered-down solutions while bold back-benchers in the House or Senate are pushing strong progressive alternatives, we will clamor for those bold alternatives together until they are passed into law.” I ordinarily detest this kind of stuff, but this is what it’s come to. I’m not a Democrat, but I’m willing to do what I can to get a fair hearing for the few true US Congressional progressives. As Jane Hamsher said two years ago : “better parking spaces for Democrats” is not a worthy goal. It’s time to take the government—and our Constitution—back.
