One option is the local Democratic party, the local Democracy for America group, or MoveOn. Are there other options I'm missing? Also, what if we on dailykos started reading George Lakoff's book "Don't think of an Elephant" or some other book that would be helpful for our thinking and organizing in the days ahead? An online book discussion group to help us galvanize. rss@dailykos.com (bunny) _69729 Thu, 04 Nov 2004 16:31:27 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/7/28/40666/-Lib-progressive-southern-cities My husband and I are considering moving back to the south to be closer to our aging parents. I must confess I do this with some trepidation. I've lived in CA for 2 years. Granted, San Diego is pretty conservative, but it's not "southern baptist church on every corner" conservative. So, I ask, which cities in the south would be the most welcoming to liberals? Some background...I grew up S. Bapt. and have left the church and now consider myself more Buddhist than anything. I'm familiar with the fundy culture, but haven't been a part of it for several years. Sorry to the southerners out there who might think I'm stereotyping your region...As a former resident of AL, though, I know whereof I speak on some counts... rss@dailykos.com (bunny) _40666 Wed, 28 Jul 2004 21:03:59 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/7/27/40361/-Where-to-see-Clinton-speech I'm trying to watch the Clinton speech on cspan.org, but I'm getting an QuickTime error "unsupported transport." I'm on a Mac. Any advice? Or is there anywhere else I can watch the speech? rss@dailykos.com (bunny) _40361 Tue, 27 Jul 2004 17:00:59 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/7/21/39471/-Leaving-the-military-industrial-complex My husband has a great-paying, fairly secure job. Unfortunately, he is deeply enmeshed in the defense industry. He got on that job track early on and has been succeeding in it for over a decade. However, as a lefty against the current war, he has grown very uncomfortable working in the industry. It's getting to a point where we need to seriously consider getting out and pursuing something more in line with our values. My questions for you...Are there other lefties here who work in the defense industry? Are there any who have successfully left, and do you have any advice or insights? rss@dailykos.com (bunny) _39471 Thu, 22 Jul 2004 04:02:10 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/7/6/36657/-Michael-Moore-cover-of-Entertainment-Wkly Michael Moore is the cover boy of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly and inside is a nice Q&amp;A. They ask the expected "hard" questions, but in my biased view, he comes off well. I didn't realize that after his Oscar speech, he had to stop going out in public because people were so rude to him. On the plus side, he recently had a Navy surgeon come up to him and say that during that speech, the surgeon was shouting at the TV in anger, and now he realizes MM was right. That exchange had to feel good for MM.

His father even mentions George Bush as being responsible for the change in him. Obviously, there's personal responsibility for his actions, but it does point to the immense emotional pressure these soldiers are under upon returning.<p> <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/04/23/soldier.homicide.ap/index.html">http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/04/23/soldier.homicide.ap/index.html</a> rss@dailykos.com (bunny) _25468 Fri, 23 Apr 2004 16:17:07 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/3/18/20105/-Send-a-note-to-Jim-Lehrer You've probably heard by now about the flap at NewsHour, when Lehrer got upset that a journalist expressed an opinion about corruption relating to Halliburton and Bechtel contracts. Lehrer's supposed problem with the remarks was that the journalist was expressing an opinion, but as Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting has discovered, other journos express opinions on the show. Also, Rummy has been on and falsely claimed things that Lehrer never corrected him on. So what gives, Lehrer? Anyway, FAIR has laid the whole thing out and asks us to send Lehrer a note:<p> <a href="http://www.fair.org/activism/newshour-parenti.html">http://www.fair.org/activism/newshour-parenti.html</a> rss@dailykos.com (bunny) _20105 Fri, 19 Mar 2004 02:27:46 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/3/4/18326/-I-just-gave-Kerry-25 Ardent Dean supporter here. Voted for him on Tuesday--proudly. Because of him, I'm actively working for change in my community and nation. I can't thank him enough for what he's done for our country.

There were not reasons to go to war, there were excuses. So while the United States was wrapping itself in the flag and Blair was walking on the Atlantic, many of us felt here that he was wrong.

The Mars thing. Or will it be the Moon? Or a spending program for AIDS or renewable energy which he will then refuse to fully fund.
