How many people are disappointed in their "progressive" representative?

[undeterred]

Are you lucky enough to have a progressive Democrat represent you but then find that they are still reluctant to sign on to HR 333 or other bills you've asked them to support?

9. The Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party

as written about by Brad Parker of Progressive Democrats of America. Most inspiring read I've had in a long time. We have NO progressive caucus allowed in our state party in Wisconsin, and no coalition of progressives, so we would censure someone by criticizing them in a few blogs.

2. Dingell is a good rep, Levin is a good Senator, Stabenow is not as good

I don't expect to agree with them 100%.

6. I sometimes wonder about Dingell and Levin too.

Stabenow is an absolute waste, but a look at who contributes to Levin tells a little about him. Dingell doesn't impress me either. I sure hope the DNC get's behind Nancy Skinner this time.

8. I am! I am! Barb Mikulski has been disappointing of late. nt

10. Way better than Michael Steele though.

Don't foget that while our reps aren't perfect they are STILl WAAAAAAAAAY better than any repube.

11. Nydia Velazquez rocks my world.

I couldn't possibly be more proud of my Congresswoman.

12. David Obey. He can be infuriating at times,

like on impeachment, but I have never doubted that he is ultimately on the correct side philosophically. Dave just wouldn't be Dave if he didn't chart his own strategic course according to his own lights and then pretty much stay on it.

13. She Might Have Been Progressive Once

Not anymore.

I think she is being blackmailed by Bush** and/or AIPAC.

[originalpckelly]

14. I think you misunderstood them, they said were Progresso not progressive.

They're as conservative as Bush, but they do make damn fine soup.

[immoderate]

15. You referring to "Debbie Wasserman Bush?"

She's been stonewalling at town meetings where the people have been screaming for impeachment. She tells them that her constituents want her to concentrate on other things, as if the people at the meetings are not constituents.

I'm surprised. She's liberal, ran unopposed so her seat is safe, and she's on the Judiciary Committee. I think she's too close to the leadership. She's a deputy to Pelosi or Hoyer.
