I received this notice in my email the other day:
"Congressman Adam Smith and the Washington State Democrats invite you to a
Progressive Strategy Session
Featuring guest speaker Simon Rosenberg,
President of the New Democrat Network..................."
I believe I will go. There must be allot to learn about Progressivism from a group whose last claim to fame was a letter to the US House Speaker expressing their eagerness to vote for the morally bankrupt "Bankruptcy Reform" Bill. Funny thing though, I was at the WSDCC in Pasco this weekend and do not remember one mention by the Washington State Democrats about this event........
I am interested to hear Congresman Smith's thinking with regard to the Patriot Act *(see "twisted note" below) which will be coming back to a Congress near you in the coming months as certain parts are set to expire. I think we all remember the Progressive way Rep. Smith dealt with his last voting opportunity on the Patriot Act. Any wagers on what the New Democrat Network "Progressive Strategy" will be on the upcoming votes?
If you are interested in learning the New Democrat's approach to Progressive Strategy, plan to attend this session:
Saturday, April 23, 12pm - 3:30pm
Renton Carpenters Hall
231 Burnett Ave. N.
To RSVP please contact Chelsea Waliser
253-572-6125

I am sure Congressman Smith and Mr. Rosenberg will be happy to see a large showing of Progressives in one room.

* Twisted Note:
I noticed that Alberto Gonzales was in front of Congress yesterday making deals to keep the Patriot Act alive. I thought I heard him say he would be willing to remove the part about searching library records if he cold replace that with authority to torture the librarians.............

I am so tired of New Democrats. I'd rather have some Real Democrats come forward.
Adam Smith has signed on as co-sponsor of Bernie Sander's Amendment re: the Patriot Act and library and bookstore records. Smith quickly learned last summer that his vote was in error and has publically admitted it many times.
This year, at least on this section, of the Patriot Act, he's got it right.

As for Adam's Rosenberg Event and the WA State Dems.... what has transpired is the State Party has cancelled their 9th CD Grassroots Strategy Session that was to be held in Puyallup on April 9th and combined that event with Smith's Progressive Stategy Session on the 23rd. http://www.wa-democrats.org/site/Strategy.php
The State Party, however, has NOT bothered to send out an email to tell people the event this weekend has been cancelled. I only heard about it via rumor and then follow-up on that to find out what is going on.
