L Grace,
I like the idea of thinking of our Representatives and Senators as either "for us," or "for the corporations," so that makes both Howard Dean and Kuccinich on the "for us" team and with our help they will be able to do anything.
Those categories make a ton of sense in what has become a very-confusing set of loyalites that we are seeing in our leaders.
I am suspicious when things get too simple, but "for us" or "for the corporations" categories will help us line up with the right people.
Is President Obama trying to straddle both worlds? And why?
(But Rush Limbaugh is in his very own category))

From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
L Grace - "I have appreciated Kuccinich through a couple of his runs for president but which of his legislation has he gotten passed into law?"
Ben - "There are US laws on the books that supposedly prevent states from adopting a single payer system of their own."
Kucinich recently proposed a bill that would EXCLUDE states that want to adopt their own single-payer health-care system from the laws to which Ben refers. It's not law YET, but it HAS passed thru committee.
