I view the Michigan Democratic Party through a very small window provided by some fellow Democrats I'm lucky enough to call friends. They are watchdogs. They spend hours evaluating, questioning, strategizing, philosophizing. How do we build our grassroots network? What's our most effective method of mobilizing our resources? How do ...

When it comes to the Michigan Democratic Party, I?m no guru. I have no interest in state party business and little memory of Robert?s Rules of Order. I?ve never been to a convention or to a committee meeting because I can?t think of anything more excruciating than spending a Saturday ...

http://www.michiganliberal.com is a site that I check out regularly, though not everyday. It's owned/operated/etc. by Matt Ferguson, for whom I half-heartedly cheered in the 2004 Democratic primary for the Michigan 8th Congressional District. (I don?t live in the 8th but I thought the time was right for Bob Alexander.)
Matt works ...

This letter is written by Tom Ford:
Dear Editor,
It is time to join Veterans For Peace and others to seriously consider impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney. As Veterans Day 2005 approaches it is time to speak out against the disgraceful way our American fighting military men and women have ...

I oppose “same sex marriage†and support the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. I will give you two lines of thought, one religious and one secular, as to why I supported SJR “E†.
