Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Houston Judge Declares Texas Death Penalty Unconstitutional; State Plans to Appeal...and: More Details on Houston Judge Declaring Texas Death Penalty Unconstituional...Rather than appealing the decision, why doesn't Texas LISTEN to the judge and FIX THE PROBLEMS with the system. I know the Dallas DA is trying to fix the problems in his neck of the woods. I wish the whole state of Texas would listen to this Houston judge and the Dallas DA.

    Find out about the Dallas County DA Office, one of the more advanced DA's office in the nation and the reason I became inspired to focus on Dallas County. They have championed a program to confirm the guilt of convicted felons to ensure that the REAL criminals are taken off the street. Their efforts have been extremely successful. And find out about careers with the Dallas DA Department.
