raja krishnamoorthi

enjoying seeing il rep raja on msnbc lately.
i thought i would point out a tidbit of local history about this guy.

he was an adopted candidate of northside dfa here in chi through both his runs for congress.
this chapter remains active after all these years, and has an awesome track record of electing great dems up and down the ticket, from a skinny kid w a funny name running for the senate and then the presidency, to city hall reformers to congresspeople to senators.
i was active w them for several years, including several roadtrips to iowa.
(juicy tidbit- one of the early leaders was jim ginsberg, son of rgb. this is why i am the proud owner of an annie liebewitz book w a portrait of rgb and sandra day, autographed by both. loves me some silent auctions sometimes.)

so, all y'all resisters out there, all y'all blue wave, take a second to tip your hat to howard dean, and his enduring contributions to the democratic wing of the democratic party.
howard dean STILL speaks for me.
i salute you sir.
