I live am a Progressive, anti-war New Yorker. I live in Queens. Hillary is my Senator, and I couldn't be less thrilled. I am not about to bash her or be rude, I just think she is not moving in the same direction as the people of NY.
While she is moving right and is pro-war, us here on the ground, are extremely opposed to this war and are looking for peace and answers, more so by the day.
A lil' more after the jump...
I like a lot of what she does, but I also disagree with her on a bunch of things. My point is that I am now beginning to question her motives. Is she honestly trying to represent me or just jockeying for a WH run in 2008. The more I question, the more I think that I want a strong Progressive candidate to challenge her in 2006. I really want someone that actually represent our views and cares, a voice for my family.
This is a democracy. A healthy battle of ideas is just that, healthy. I don't know who should run against her. I don't even know who to suggest. We are working for a 50 state challenge and making sure DEM incumbents know we are paying attention, no matter who they are. So should we challenge her and if so, who would be the best person to do it?
I am not looking for this to be a DEM eat DEM post, just an honest question and a hope for feedback.
