Coakley and the Rejection of the Working Class
01/22/2010
... I was an early Mike Capuano supporter. Capuano was the sole candidate among the four Democrats competing in the primary that supported Medicare for All. He was the sole candidate to support that aspect of the Massachusetts Democratic Party Platform and one of the seven of ten Massachusetts representatives who had endorsed HR 676. I don’t want to paint Capuano as ideal – he had said before that he’d enact Medicare for All if he were "emperor," not exactly a sign of strident support – but I think he was manifestly superior to all other candidates on health care. Apparently Progressive Democrats of America agreed, because they later endorsed him. ...
... You know, Massachusetts obviously is seen as a one-party state, and most of its offices are filled by Democrats. But the fact is, is that there is populist anger out there, including here in this state, and we need to respond to it.

Dr. King's vision of social justice required him to take a stand that was enormously controversial even among his supporters: resolute opposition to the Vietnam war, which he understood guaranteed that money would not be available to undertake making the promise of real equal opportunity an actuality. ...

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) is taking the stop-funding-war message to US Congressional representatives with Brown Bag Vigils across the country on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. I'll be going to Susan Davis' office at 4305 University Avenue, San Diego at 12 noon this Wednesday, Jan 20th. If you sign up to join me, I will provide the brown bag lunch (peanut butter and jelly on organic bread, apple and my special oat scones (register to attend). If you live elsewhere, see if there's a vigil in your district, or organize one yourself. Let's say NO to more money for war, and yes to getting to work on making life better for everyone!
