Thank you for the positive efforts. Howie and Jane could we have one a day of these Blue Candidate interviews? You are the best. Thank you.

I’m with you on that. Although perhaps judicial proceedings will be more appropriate in another 8 months– unless Congress goes along with all this retroactive immunity garbage.

Excellent response. Blue America and the rest of the progressive community may help by getting those elected. With the vast majority pulling the wagon in the same direction we could have some very good decades ahead.

Impeachment investigations was mentioned early in the thread by Howie Klein your host, I think it would help immensely in bringing to America and the world the problems that this administration has caused us needlessly. Once Americans understand what was done wrong would that not help get a Blue Congress?

Well, since I’ve been known to steal water from the poodles’ bottle water stash, I guess I have to chip in for $25.

Good luck Leslie!

Thanks for joining us in this discussion today, Leslie. I hope this won’t be the last time. We want to see you beat the Bush Dog in the primary and go on to win this district back for the Democrats in November. We need you to help us figure out how we can be effective in assisting you. So don’t be shy about signing on and getting into the ongoing conversation. FDL never shuts down (or up) and there’s someone discussing issues 24/7. I’ll look forward to seeing you in Virginia in April.

Reminder: John Amato and I are going to meet Andrew Rice in Venice (California) at 3pm. Anyone in the area who would like to join us, e-mail me asap.
