Alright you redeemers, rebels, radicals and utopian dreamers out there,

A worldwide shift in revolutionary tactics is underway right now that bodes well for the future. The spirit of this fresh tactic, a fusion of Tahrir with the acampadas of Spain, is captured in this quote:

"The antiglobalization movement was the first step on the road. Back then our model was to attack the system like a pack of wolves. There was an alpha male, a wolf who led the pack, and those who followed behind. Now the model has evolved. Today we are one big swarm of people."
— Raimundo Viejo, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain -

‎"There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both Democrats and Republicans - including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything." - President Barack Obama

You don’t change a country by proposing non-controversial legislation. You don’t You don’t change a country by proposing legislation that the people in power already thought of and supported. You don’t get the 14 million un/under employed Americans jobs by buying into the false idea that our deficit/debt is the problem.

From Talking Points Memo

The key dilemma facing President Obama and Congressional Democrats is that Republicans are wholly unwilling to support any new job-creating spending projects -- even projects with bipartisan support -- unless they're offset with spending cuts or savings elsewhere in the budget.

Ahh, birtherism. I thought that the right had moved on. I was wrong.

President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors released there first quarterly report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Acttoday, and their prognoses for the success Government intervention is not bad. While we have a long way to go, and most of the money is yet to be spent, to council defends the idea of government stimulus:

Fiscal stimulus appears to be effective in mitigating the worldwide recession. Nearly every industrialized country and many emerging economies responded to the severe financial crisis and recession by enacting fiscal stimulus

.

Adding

We find that countries that adopted larger fiscal stimulus packages have outperformed expectations relative to those adopting smaller packages.

An obvious case for a second round of stimulus, something economist like Paul Krugman have been advocating for:

the purpose of stimulus is, first and foremost, to mitigate unemployment. The fact that the economy may be technically in recovery is irrelevant.

Yes you read that correctly. Chip Rogers, a GOP State Senator from Georgia, went on Fox to promote a proposed amendment to Georgia's Constitution, banning the Federal government from mandating you get/provide insurance or telling citizens they can no longer "get insurance form a doctor". Apparently in Georgia they don't have insurance companies, who knew?

In the wake of Senator Ted Kennedy's passing, Mitt Romney might be thinking of his own political self preservation. There is speculation that Mitt Romney is eyeing the special election to replace the Liberal Lion. We can not let that happen. It is be tantamount to Norm Coleman sitting in Paul Wellstone's old Senae seat.

In the memory of Ted Kennedy, we have to defend that seat!

Through our calls, our canvasses, and yes, our pocketbooks we must follow up Kennedy's tremendous service to the Senate, with a true Liberal Senator.

We must find a suitable replacement and bolster his cause, the same way we did for Senator Franken.
