A note from DonVila

After posting on The Campaign To Change America (The John Edwards Blog) for about six months, it occurred to me that there was work to do in Michiana. Many people do pitch in to help others, and in my experience this area may be particularly blessed in that way. Unfortunately, this area has more work to do than some others. Also, there's not much of an outlet for (take your choice) lefties, liberals, progressives to pitch in on the issues.

I am an enthusiastic and unapologetic supporter of John Edwards for President. And I will (from time to time) try to convince visitors and participants that he is the best choice. But that is not the purpose of this blog. In time, I hope progressives of all stripes will weigh in and let us know what they think, what they're doing and let us know about what's coming up.

I'm very pleased that aguilar del norte will be contributing. ADN and I have been involved in some local agitation, and I suspect that will continue.

I'm especially pleased that grannyhelen and fake consultant accepted my invitation to join us. Granny from the east and fake from the west are two of my favorite commentators. If you haven't already checked out fake consultant's three part story (from June and July) of how young children are being shamed into petty debt collection (from their parents) through the hammer of the school lunch program, take the time. I promise, little you'll read will piss you off as much as this.

Anyway, thanks for dropping by. If you'd like to contribute to the discussion email me at DonVila@aol.com .
