Happy Birthday Howard Dean

On my 65th birthday join me in supporting DFA
Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and cut earned benefits like Social Security and Medicare. Radical right-wingers are in state legislatures across the country trying to restrict the right to vote and take away women’s reproductive rights. But we will continue to fight back -- it's the only we will win and preserve our version of America. And thanks to the Tea Party's obstructionism, Democrats have a real opportunity to win back the House in 2014. So, instead of receiving gifts on my 65th birthday, I'm asking people to support DFA as we fight to build a more progressive America.
In the spirit of our Dean for America presidential campaign, can you donate to DFA today?

Seven of Florida’s death row inmates sued the state, arguing the drug – typically used as a sedative in minor operations – is not actually an anesthetic. They claimed that in addition to halting the body’s ability to speak or move, midazolam leaves inmates aware of their surroundings and in severe pain as they die........more

Koch Bros. Beerfest In Miami

 
Of course, the Kochs themselves didn’t show up to cut checks to entertain their latest targets; that duty was left to the Koch-funded (and ironically named) Generation Opportunity, the youth-oriented outfit behind the Creepy Uncle Sam ads. They were of course aided by the University’s conservative.
