Bringing together Arizona Progressives to take back our country!

TURN AZ BLUE!

| Our Mission |
- We intend to bring together activists, bloggers, and voters to work toward progressive political change in Arizona.
- By sharing information and keeping each other informed, we can coordinate efforts to promote progressive causes and candidates.
- We hope to provide a forum for local Democratic candidates to present their positions on issues of concern to Arizonans.
- Anyone who shares our goals is welcome to join and contribute.
- The age of open source politics is here. Lobbyists and special interests have run Arizona for too long.
- Let's take back Arizona from the big money special interests and the right wing crazies!

Thank you, Rep. Grijalva for opposing a war funding bill with no commitment to withdrawal.
Raul Grijalva was the only Democratic U.S. Representative from Arizona to vote "No" on the War Supplemental which contains no timeline for withdrawal. Now I expected a "Yes" vote from Blue Dog Giffords and Blue Dog wannabe Mitchell, but what's up with Ed Pastor?
Bizarrely, many Repubs, including Franks and Shadegg, opposed the War Supplemental because it contains funding for the IMF to bail out Eastern Europe. Hmmn, didn't these guys call Democrats who voted against any war funding when Shrub was President "Defeatocrats" and worse? Just sayin'.
Yes, the War Supplemental passed (226 TO 202) in spite of opposition from the strange bedfellows of progressives and Republicans, but progressives definitely let the Villagers know we are here and that antiwar Democrats can't be ignored. Thanks to Jane Hamsher over at Firedoglake and others and others for coordinating the effort. |
