Congressman Eliot Engel has joined House progressives in sternly warning the Obama administration and Senate members that no legislation will pass without a government-run "public option" plan. And look forward to health-care forums and town halls to come to Rockland County soon.
Assembly member Greg Ball (who is running against Democrat John Hall for Congress) is trying to take down health-care reform by staging his own sham town halls. There will be plenty of choreographed outrage from Ball & Friends for the media to cover. But we can stop them by attending these town halls ourselves.
Democratic County Executive candidate Thom Kleiner recently finished his petitioning and also revealed his campaign finance numbers. And one word describes both: "astounding!" Thom's campaign is off to an excellent start.
Rep. Hall say that he has reservations about using an income tax surcharge on top-wage earners to help pay for public health care. Hall must understand that this is a small price compared to the financial burden that working-class Americans have shouldered over the years.
State Senator Thomas Morahan says he will not back marriage equality when it comes to a vote. The Senator's reasoning is flawed, downright confusing, even unconstitutional.
Many politicians have little to do with Israel’s bellicose foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman. So why did Rep. Engel go out of his way to seek an audience with him?
We've got two petitions uploaded. They are for Thom Kleiner (County Executive)/Paul Piperato (County Clerk) and for the offices of Town Supervisor, Town Justice, Receiver of Taxes, and Trustees in Orangetown.
The Rockland Progressive Dems will meet on Wed., June 24 @ 7:30 pm, at Nyack Village Hall. The major focus of our meeting will be to mobilize for Thom Kleiner, the Democratic candidate for County Executive.
When Democratic politicians give support to the Republican Party, the damage they do is not easily reversed. What should loyal Democrats do? Stick our heads in the sand or unburden ourselves of such politicians?
