Progressive Democrat Issue 207

I am continuing to focus more on local rather than national issues. This is simply because I am too busy to cover everything and, what with important NYC races, some Wisconsin elections, and some important events in several other states, I think my efforts are better applied to local stuff. Hopefully once my real job queits down and I get some repairs done in my apartment, I will have more attention for national issues. For now all I can say is my crusade against Bank of America, Citibank and AIG seem more justified than ever. Their behavior just gets worse and worse. I will also add that there right now is a clear difference between FedEx and UPS in the delivery business. FedEx is making some serious anti-union efforts while UPS is choosing to cease advertising on Bill O'Reilly's show. Together these actions mean if I possibly can I will not use FedEx and definitely use UPS.

I also want to put in a plug for Jennifer Brunner, running for Ohio Senate in 2010. I supported Jennifer as Secretary of State for Ohio, and she did an excellent job in that office. Now I think she'd make an excellent Senator. Now would be an excellent time to donate to her campaign to give her a strong lead. I did so some time back as soon as I heard she was running. In addition I donated to the Secretary of State Project to make sure we are set up to replace her as Secretary of State with another honest Democrat.
