Democrat.com Event!

Hello folks it has been a bit since I last posted something. Had a run in with a patch of ice leaving my back in a whole world of hurt. Any way down to business.

I like Hillary Clinton, I really do, however I think her postition on the war is completely and utterly wrong. While I think her primary challenger has a snow ball's in hell chance to beat her, I feel someone challenging her on this issue is good for the party. Perhaps a decent showing by her challenger will provide Hillary with a wake up call:

New York Metro Meeting

At our first PDA organizing meeting last month in Manhattan, we decided to form a New York Metro Group to focus on important New York issues such as the upcoming Senate primary, election machine reform, and garnering support for various congressional bills to bring the Iraq war to a swift close and to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney.

Come Meet Progressive candidates:
Chris Owens, running for Congress in CD 11
Jessica Flagg, who is running for Congress in CD 17
