Group Last Diary
A Perfect Conversation
A group to republish diaries that I hope:

a. challenge the DK conventional wisdom;
b. provide information which may lead to new ideas;
c. push for action that is innovative or not just playing defense;

I do not always agree with the diaries I republish, but the point here is not about agreement. It's about challenging ourselves to rethink our political philosophies, activities, and issue positions. Perhaps we'll come back to the same conclusions we already ...

Dominating the Discourse
Republicans created the meme "Right to Work State" in the 1940's. And we're just figuring out that the phraseology we use makes a difference? "Cat Food Commission". "Race to the Bottom". The Left has its moments - we just need more of them. Any and all ideas for Dominating the Discourse will be in consideration for a published compendium of progressive terminology and phraseology.

Europeans who love America, and vice versa
If America sneezes, Europe catches a cold. So why no share flu jabs? This (tentative) group is a place where Americans can unashamedly show their ignorance of Europe, and Europeans can show their ignorance of the US. Oh, and both inform each other.

Pull Their Coverage: End health benefits for U.S. House and Senate members
Congressman Anthony Weiner says it time to defund Congressional health benefits. We agree! Republicans are mounting a scorched earth offensive against the Affordable Care Act. It's time for the American people to mount their own long overdue campaign to demand that all the members of the U.S. Senate and House, renounce their heavily taxpayer subsidized health insurance benefits. These people must be required to fend for themselves, as millions of Americans do, in the grotesque and barbaric indi...
