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).

    Some history: How NYC Became the World's Banking Capital

    New York's judiciary is filled with cronyism and lacks reason and fairness...I wrote about this some time ago (from a Brooklyn viewpoint): Brooklyn Court System as Political Garbage Dump

    Crowded Race Emerging To Replace Adam Clayton Powell In Assembly

    Did the Developers Close St. Vincent Hospital?...it's what I keep saying. Developers get everything they want while hospitals, firehouses, schools, libraries, senior homes, etc. get cut cut cut cut. And it will continue to get worse: As emergency room waits increase and more people die: New York City's Health and Hospitals Corp. Plans To Cut 2600 Jobs. Thanks Bloomberg!

    NY League of Conservation Voters: Another group bought by Bloomberg...I stopped donating to the LCV after their local branch was bought by Bloomberg. Really showed me that they are not to be trusted.
