Ward 6 Council Member Tommy Wells is running for mayor on a progressive platform, but has been taking the conservative position that Walmart shouldn't be asked to pay its DC employees a living wage - just $26,000 per year for full time workers. Council Member Wells could strike a compromise by voting for LRAA on Tuesday and then helping to pass an economy-wide minimum wage hike (as he has already proposed) that would include a repeal of the LRAA. He can regain his progressive reputation and show that it's not okay to abuse workers in the nation's capital.

I am a teacher who proudly voted for Bill de Blasio for Mayor. Most teachers I know did the same, though some voted for Bill Thompson. Bill de Blasio has consistently supported policies that will improve education for all New York City students and invest in the teaching force that will make that possible. He made investments in early childhood education a centerpiece of the campaign, a policy that could make a huge difference in educational outcomes in the city and help close the achievement gap. I was also encouraged by his call for a temporary halt in charter school openings, his opposition to school report cards as they stand, his criticism of high stakes testing, and his demand that communities be given a say in co-locations and closings. To reverse 12 years of dubious education policy under Mayor Bloomberg, educators must unite with other progressives in backing de Blasio. It's time for the United Federation of Teachers to endorse de Blasio for Mayor. If you are a teacher please say so in the comments when you sign.

“IT’S A DISGRACE THAT OUR NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY INCLUDING OUR DEM. GOVERNOR'S ASSOCIATON IS NOT SUPPORTING OUR CANDIDATE, BARBARA BUONO FOR GOVERNOR HERE IN N.J.!” Dear President Obama, and Democrats in Congress, I am writing to ask you to please help us here in New Jersey, and publically come out in support of our extraordinary progressive democratic candidate for governor, State Senator Barbara Buono. I grew up working class, and am a 58 yr. old retired public school teacher with advance M.S. who lives in a wonderful public nursing home here in Jersey. Chris Christie is bleeding us to death here in N.J.! We could not have a better candidate than Barbara Buono running against Christie as she is truly a defender of progressive values, as well as an honest public servant! We democratic voters here in N.J. are shocked, and disillusioned that the National Democratic Party has abandoned Senator Buono’s campaign! I imagine that it is due to a belief that she can’t win against a celebrity like Chris Christie. Even if it were true that she can’t win (which it’s not), where is the party’s backbone, and sense of doing what is right which is to stand up for our wonderful candidate Barbara Buono, as well as contribute to her campaign?! Buono has the backing of The 47% here in N.J., as well as the unions, and that is who is going to elect her Governor on Nov. 5th, however, what she needs is your support, and money to run more national T.V. ads, and other advertising. We desperately need your help, please help us! With Much Respect, Donna Parisi **PLEASE CALL PRESIDENT OBAMA & LEAVE A MESSAGE URGING HIM & OUR WHOLE PARTY TO COME OUT & VOICE THEIR SUPPORT FOR BARBARA BUONO FOR N.J. GOVERNOR ON NOV. 5TH!: Phone Number For Comments: 202-456-1111**

The many young viewers of the "California Anthem" on YouTube initiated the original idea that the song be adopted as the new State Anthem. This was a surprising observation, but it demonstrated the need for young people (and people of all ages) to connect with something deeper; to value one's homeland and to be able to sing about this connection.
