We need leaders who give our economy a jolt, give our country needed resources & give working families a chance. The right-wing gives thanks -- but nothing more, and sometimes giving thanks isn't enough.

We give those progressive causes our thanks, our support, our energy & our hope that we'll keep having more to be thankful for. Share your thanking & your thinking with fellow lefties and liberal drinking at your local progressive social club.
