4. I always remember when Firedoglake said that after 2008 Election

the Progressive Bloggers were thrown into the "Veal Pen." Coralled or Paid Off for Access.

Look at how many Progressive Bloggers on Comprehensive Democratic Values Issues lost Funding and went out of business or their voices were so marginalized that they were considered "CTers" after the 2008 Election!

We've lost even more in the last year and the rest struggle for funding. But, there are those who don't struggle for funding...and those are the ones that I would now start to question as to WHY!

I will be interested to see where he goes and hopefully that he and Laura and Others can revive the SPIRIT AND ACTION we had when Bush Machine Stole "Election 2000."

But it's disgusting that Dem Activists for Truth Out and Democratic Principles of the "New Deal/FDR" Legacy are now Marginalized or go out of business for lack of funds.

WE GOT OUT THE VOTE AND OBAMA was the HOPE AND CHANGE!

I went through this with both CARTER and CLINTON....so my FRUSTRATION...shows. :hope:
