I do think there's a big need for more Progressive and Liberals on the local level...especially this year. This election will determine who divies up the Congressional districts in 2012...thus there needs to be a strong effort on the state level to create the conditions where more Progressives and Liberals can run and win. It'd be nice to see GOOPers have to primary each other to hold onto their seats rather than Democrats.

Also, if you want to take on the media, then it's time to push Julius Grenchowski and the FCC to revisit Telcom '96...break up the corporate domination of the public airwaves that allows them to play gatekeeper...mostly favoring the GOOP. It's working toward building up alternative media and working toward more media diversity and localization. Empowerment is a powerful tool...and no need to get down and dirty when the truth is on your side.

Best of luck...

Cheers...
