Because Matt Griffin and Nick Hanauer both claim to be progressive.<br /><br />What does "progressive" mean in the U.S.? Because Senator Al Franken was for SOPA and will probably be for every internet-limiting bill Lamar Smith brings.<br /><br />I genuinely don't know because I can't vote here but I've been here long enough to know that people just love to misuse and abuse political labels.Christinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-29550656734407029602012-02-20T17:05:23.584-08:002012-02-20T17:05:23.584-08:00Quietly, thanks.

THIS WEEK. Tell them the Stand for Children and LEV and Gates push for charters isn't cutting it with you and that you don't want to see it coming back up late in the session. <br /><br />Tell them you are sick of hearing that all the woes of public ed rest on the heads of our teachers.<br /><br />My phone calls got me nothing but positive and thankful responses. The Democrats know they're getting played and they don't appreciate it. I don't think they appreciated Hanauer's diatribe either. Not from what I've heard.<br /><br />EdVoterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-25047392975790640072012-02-20T15:04:21.150-08:002012-02-20T15:04:21.150-08:00n....,
