Impeach Gonzales!
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Thu, 05/31/2007 - 16:18.I'm not one to think we should impeach people lightly, or for political reasons, but this is clearly an instance where it is necessary. He has really messed up, and clearly broken the law.

Conservatives Try to Destroy the Minimun Wage
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Fri, 02/02/2007 - 08:00.I'm about week late on this one. Still worth posting because, its extremely telling, and there is a good chance you didn't know it happened.
The 100 Hours agenda is now in the hands of the Senate.
Madame Speaker Pelosi and the house democrats stood together passing clean, strong and progressive bills. Accomplishing this in the Senate is where the campaign faces its toughest challenge.
Already we've seen the right-wing conservatives demanding us to "Stay the Course"... or worse.
Bob Geiger and the AFL-CIO Blog broke this important story.
Two weeks ago 28 ultra-conservative Senators attempted to completely eliminate the minimum wage.
Brazenly ignoring the clear demands of the voters, they didn't just try to stop the much needed minimum wage increase, they wanted to destroy the federal minimum wage all together.
It is time working America gets their long over due raise. No, it's past time and we need to make that clear.
As Senator Jim Webb so eloquently stated in his rebuttal to President Bush's State of the Union....
Tonight we are calling on this President to take similar action.... If he does, we will join him. If he does not, we will be showing him the way.
So the same goes for Senator Republicans. Follow the will of the people, or we will be showing you the way.

"The Great Risk Shift" & Health Care for All
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Fri, 12/29/2006 - 08:00.The Campain for America's Future recently hosted an event with Professor Jacob S. Hacker touting his new book The Great Risk Shift.
Hacker's new book, The Great Risk Shift, describes the "assault on American jobs, families, health care and retirement" by corporations eager to off-load costly responsibilities. Beyond analysis, Hacker describes new progressive policies to reverse the great risk shift and forge a new social contract for economic security and opportunity.
Short and great to get the gist of it
For those why are really interested (and you should be) here is the full video of the event.

Center for American Progress

I wonder if these are getting TV play too. It's only 25 secs so I doubt it.
Robert Borosage's new post
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Fri, 12/01/2006 - 08:00.The co-director of the Campaign for America's Future has a new post up on DailyKos.
When the first woman Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, takes office, it will mark a new day for Congress. Pelosi will drive new rules through the House to help curb the corruptions of the DeLay Congress. She has Democrats prepared to pass her "100 hour program," anchored in bread and butter, common sense issues - raise the minimum wage, halve interest rates on student loans, negotiate lower drug prices, revoke subsides to big oil and invest in renewable energy. A broad range of progressive groups will mobilize across the country to insure this agenda passes to the Senate with public support at its back. This will mark a sea change from the corrupt, corporate lobby-driven agenda of the DeLay congress.
