There are some political types who dismiss progressive bloggers, saying they're noisy but irrelevant. Those guys are completely wrong. Wrong mainly because they've missed the point of blogging. Progressive bloggers are all about activism; usually by digging out information and putting it into the hands of the citizenry, but sometimes by stepping directly into the political fray.

I need to point out that Bloggers are usually far more informed on a magnitude of issues when representative aren't. Where does one think candidates come from? They certainly don't grow on trees.
I have gotten incorrect information from congressmen or they play dumb on important issues.

It's too bad that many of our representatives are "Corporate Buy Products"

I hope more Bloggers get active and run for office.

We are in serious need of a sharp honorable person to run against Rick Larsen in the second Congressional. It's crunch time!
