Progressive Democrat Newsletter 304
This week seems to have been the week of Occupy Wall Street. I felt dismissive of the effort at first, and I still kind of feel that we could have used some of that activism to actually win an election here in Brooklyn in Sept. But as the movement grows I feel this could be something significant. I am hoping people use this opportunity to organize and forge longer term activism that can translate into genuine successes. But even just a large scale expression of discontent is something we need right about now. Here is some footage of what has been going on:

Here is this week's newsletter:
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
ARTICLES:
Columbus Day: Some Historical Perspective
My suggested companion action to the Occupy Wall Street movement: Taking on Wall Street Every Day...more on Bank of America's naked greed: Bank of America - A Unique Display of Corporate Greed
From fellow Culture Kitchen diarist: Nigerian Parliament Should Throw Out This Homophobic Bill Now!
BOOK REVIEW: (a book I consider critical for ANY Demcorat) The Political Brain
Diverse Jewish Heritage in Music
IMPORTANT LINKS:
From Current TV: TWU president John Samuelsen explains why his union is joining the Occupy Wall Street protest
CBO Says Millionaire Surcharge Can Pay For ALL of Obama Jobs Package
Obama lays down gauntlet on jobs
House progressives want Super Congress to focus on jobs, protecting the safety net
Three women win Nobel Peace Prize
From Current TV: David Shuster decries Islamophobia in conservative media
Some perspective: Climate catastrophe
This is another fight I consider important (recently updated): Preventing and Dealing With Bed Bugs
MUSICAL SELECTIONS:
Had this one not so long ago, but it really rocks...and it has folks from Russia, Ukraine, Ecuador, China/Scotland, etc...a real immigrant song to throw in the face of the Republican Racists:
And one step further...Immigrant Punk:
My personal IMMIGRANT experience is a Jewish one...so I add this reminder of where I came from:
Music that resonates with me even though I am third generation. Republicans ignore the fact that we are ALL only a handful of generations from immigrants. Immigrants BUILT this country and we should be PROUD of our immigrant roots.
