What the MA election means--Tell Democratic Leaders...

You've probably heard that Republican Scott Brown won election to the Senate seat that used to belong to Ted Kennedy. That hurts. He is also making robo calls here in AZ for John McCain - we got one. We have also heard from Jim Dean of DFA and True Majority:

But conservatives are already saying the lesson of the election is that voters don't want health care reform, so elected leaders should abandon their progressive principles and stop trying to solve our big problems.

That's nonsense. Ted Kennedy was such a loud and strong advocate for health care and other issues that they called him the "liberal lion," and voters elected him again and again.

Our leaders have a choice: Dig in and fight harder to accomplish something now that the going is tough; Or pull back in the hopes that they can cut their losses. That's the debate is going on in caucus rooms and closed offices in Washington right this minute.

So I just sent a message to Democratic leaders telling them "we need liberal lions, not moderate lambs." Can you do the same thing? This website makes it really easy:

The events on 9/11/2001 have been and continue to be used to justify US military intervention and 'preventive' wars around the world. If you are disgusted by the waste of lives and resources at a time when this country and the world face so many urgent problems, come see this film.

There is now a very large body of evidence the 'official' version of events on that day is, to see the least, flawed. If you care about your future and what your government is doing around the world in your name, come see this film. And then DEMAND answers to the questions it raises.
