I just ran into a woman with a petition for a state constitutional amendment "protecting secret ballots." The actual change in the law seems to be regarding union membership. Here's the petition text http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/2010petitions/10i…

I agree, but it takes baby steps for someone to get engaged in local politics. There are 20 hard core Jasper Cty Dem Committee members and 13,000 who voted dem in recent cycles. This is a gateway for the 99.99% of local dem voters who are not yet ac…

Where's the party?

Who here has read Laura Flanders's Blue Grit? She makes the point that a party which only comes out at election time to try to win elections is weak compared to one that's seen as actively working for citizens at all times.

The GOP succeed because they can call on churches; they're using the churches' credibility as a substitute for having their own.

If Democrats intend to be just a secret society here, then we're conceding. We won't gain ground if we stay underground.
