About Me:
Howie Klein spent much of his life wandering around the world living in places like Afghanistan, Nepal, Holland and Morocco. He moved backed to America when Richard Nixon resigned and promptly helped start the first punk rock radio show in the country and then a DIY punk rock record label. His adventures in the music business ended a couple of years ago when he retired as president of Reprise Records. He began blogging almost immediately, starting Down With Tyranny. Jane taught him html while he held one of her dogs at a party. He is a raw foodist, lives in L.A., swims and hikes every day, thinks Howard Dean could be a president as great as FDR and will never be completely happy until Bush and Cheney are behind bars.

Since the last time we visited with Democratic congressional candidate Jon Powers he celebrated his big 3-0. But his quest for the congressional seat in NY-26 -- a mostly suburban/exurban western New York district stretching from just outside Buffalo to just outside Rochester -- has been anything but smooth.

Jared just won his hard fought primary in a Colorado congressional district north and west of Denver, centered on Boulder. He'll be replacing Mark Udall as the Representative for CO-02 and I have high expectations for much more progressive and innovative leadership. Within moments of Joan Fitz-Gerald's concession, Blue America unanimously endorsed him-- as we promised we would last November.

Judy Baker, victor in MissouriKansas, Missouri and Michigan all had primaries yesterday. Mostly incumbents and Establishment favorites won their races. The stupidest candidate who ran for Congress in any district in any state for either party, Brock Olivo in the Missouri district (MO-09) being abandoned by Kenny Hulsdorf, got wiped out.

With the threat still looming that the Democrats might actually expose them by helping voters connect those dots, suddenly there's a new challenge facing congressional Republicans: massive donations of VECO bribes that Stevens spread around the Republican caucus. So far none only a few of the GOP senators who took the tainted money have agreed to give it back.

If you missed our action against the extremist group Freedom's Watch, please take a look at the video and consider helping us pay for the several hundred thousand calls we're making to defend Steve Kagen (D-WI), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Linda Stender (D-NJ), John Adler (D-NJ), and Tom Allen (D-ME). These Neocon Bush billionaires are trying to blame them for high gas prices.
