Iowa is No Garden of Eden for Higher Education

post from Kmareka.com on 25 September 2007 11:16:00 AM. © Kmareka.com

The following story by the Associated Press (via the First Amendment Center) provides further evidence that conservatives, particularly those of the religious fundamentalist persuasion, “tend to be more rigid and closed-minded [and] less tolerant of ambiguity,” not to mention metaphorically challenged: Iowa instructor claims he was fired for Adam and Eve comments DES MOINES, Iowa ?

Like the naïve liberal patsies of Columbia University, the folks at C&L are apparently still letting me, noted conservative blogger Jon Swift, guest host this week’s Blog Round Up, so here is another edition: Republic of T has started a massive project to document hate crimes against gays, which is a problem they [...]

Better Democrats

post from Eschaton on 25 September 2007 10:52:00 AM. © Eschaton

Jim Dean sends out an email:

Dear Duncan,

Kick a Bush Democrat out of office, Support Donna Edwards for Congress with $15 right now!

If it were up to Beltway Democrats, there wouldn't be primaries. When it comes to democratic incumbents, they want us to sit-down, shut-up, and support the status quo. I'm not a Beltway Democrat and neither are you.

We know primaries matter.

Today, we can play a pivotal role in the fight to make Congress progressive. Support Donna Edwards for Congress with a $15 contribution right now:

http://www.DemocracyforAmerica.com/SupportDonna

We know where Donna Edwards stands. She is the consistent progressive in the race we can count on to fight for our values everyday, not just during election season. Yet, her opponent Al Wynn has been on the run, flipping positions and double-talking his record since the campaign started.

While Donna has stood up against the war in Iraq since the beginning, Congressman Wynn voted with Bush on Iraq from day one. In fact, Al Wynn voted for the Republican bankruptcy bill, Dick Cheney's energy bill, and to increase exceptions to the Clean Air Act for big polluters.

With Democrats like Al Wynn, the GOP doesn't even need to run a Republican. Support Donna Edwards today with $15 and let's kick Bush Democrats out of Congress:

http://www.DemocracyforAmerica.com/SupportDonna

Whether it is knocking on doors, making phone calls, or recruiting new volunteers, local DFA members have made this a people-powered campaign working to win. It is up to you to deliver the power of the nation to take Donna over the top.

Thank you for turning your contribution into action.

Jim Dean
Chair
