    I wish your poll would have allowed an empty space for a VP candidate of one's own choice not just the rumored ones.

    Otherwise, I like what this site appears to be about ( excluding the colors) and if there are programs offered that I feel are worthy I would certainly like to assist in any way I can.

    There are so many ways one can be said to be progressive. A progressive movement that understands that we need to rebuild a twenty first century version "of, by and for" government from top to bottom is my kind of progressive organization. We currently have a facade of a government which is in fact a corporate run enterprise. Only a few courageous people seem to ignore that memo. Obama for better or worse seems to have the best idea for change e.g.,WE MUST DO IT! He will hopefully provide some mechanisms that citizens can utilize to do that.

    My theory is that truth and information would turn us all into either progressives or radicals.

    I was SO excited after listening to Nichols. I have been searching for a group to work with for the Nov. election that can make a difference. I worked the 2000,2004 and 2006 elections and was very disappointed.
    I agreed with every thing he said, especially the comment about the electoral college. Ever since pol. sci. was one of my majors 40 years ago, I have been saying to be a true democracy we have to get rid of that system and have a multi party system.
    I am a retired teacher and have time on my hands. Let me know what your stradegy is going to be and how can I help.
    I live in Placer county, Ca. which is red. Maybe I could be more help somewhere else.
    Looking forward with enthusiasm to finally make my energy count.
