RSN: Elizabeth Warren Leads Progressive Charge, but Has GOP Admirers Too, Hidden-Camera Captured Kentucky Coal Ash Dumping, Tim DeChristopher: The Boomers "Failed" Us, et al


Elizabeth Warren, a newcomer to political office, trashed former Senator Scooter Brown, Koch Sock Puppet,  in a grassroots campaign to represent Massachusetts in the Senate. [That Sock Puppet and carpetbagger is currently running against Senator Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire.] 

Massachusetts deserves to be proud of its choice! 

Senator Warren has stood tall, represented ALL Americans and spoken Truth to Power! 

It's time to take government back from the Kochs, stop believing their fibs, lies, fabrications, falsehoods and propaganda. Make the Koch Sock Puppets irrelevant because they are!

Please support those candidates with the backbone to stand for a Progressive Future by contributing to their campaigns even if you can only afford a modest contribution, donate your time and make a few phone calls, get involved.

Democracy is NOT a Spectator Sport!

Tim DeChristopher: The Boomers "Failed" Us
Sarah van Gelder, YES! Magazine
van Gelder writes: "Tim DeChristopher woke up knowing he would somehow protest an auction of oil and gas leases on federal lands in Utah's red rock country. How he would make his views known, though, was a mystery. When an official at the auction asked him if he was there to bid on land parcels, he agreed. That seemed like a good place to start."
