    Senator Pridemore on Health Care

    While I disagree with Senator Pridemore that a bad bill with a couple of good provisions is better than no bill at all, Craig deserves praise for staking out a very clear position on health care reform.  The Democrats have to pass legislation that will provide health care at a reasonable cost to both businesses and individuals.  It needs to be [...]



    Deb Wallace Withdraws From 3rd Congressional Race

    Top Two Primary System is Flawed

    Citing a desire to not “thin the field of Democrats” in the primary, Deb Wallace withdrew from the 3rd district race to replace Rep. Brian Baird.  This is yet another example of why the “top two” primary system is undermining the electoral process.  If we did not have political parties, the top two primary would make sense.  It would [...]

    First Things First

    Fixing the campaign finance system is one of the very few ways we can fix our government. And yet most of us spend far too much time and effort complaining about and/or trying to fix what is caused by not fixing the campaign finance system.  How to Get Our Democracy Back

    Fix Congress First

    Fix Campaign Finance, Support FENA.



    Bipartisanship Equals Selling Out The People

    Cenk Uygur has a fantastic post today about how bipartisanship is used as a foil to enable the Democrats to sell us out just like the Republicans sell us out to big corporate interests.  For those of you out there that thought the Democrats were different, this article goes a long way to explaining why their differences are not manifesting themselves now that they are [...]

    Rep. Alan Grayson (FL-D) is all over the SCOTUS decision

    Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) has been less than a quiet first term Congressman, to say the least.

    He shook up the MSM when he stood on the House floor and called Republicans out on Healthcare Reform, wherein he said, “the Republican healthcare plan is: Don’t get sick. They also have a backup plan: If you do get sick, die quickly.

    This was quite an introduction [...]



    Great Time to Start a 3rd Party

    Just read the latest post from Cenk Uyger.  He recommends:

    So, in financial reform Obama shouldn’t ask Republicans to vote with him, he should dare them not to. He should say:
    “You want to vote with the bankers. Go ahead. I dare you. Every day I’m going to talk about how these bankers took hard-earned taxpayer money and turned it into record bonuses for themselves. I’m going [...]
