Been kind of quiet here lately

As has been pointed out several times, rural America should logically be Democratic. There are many issues - not the least of which is the "cultural" thing which Frank speaks to so well in Whats the Matter With Kansas, but there are others as well, which are false or ghost issues - hot buttons which the Republicans push so well.

I am trying to write stuff for the local papers which may do some small part in turning the tide. Explaining to folks out here in a way that they can understand that backing the Republicans only hurts them and their families in the long run (and the short run, for that matter)

Lets keep this progressive "farm" machinery well oiled by coming up with constructive ways to get through out here in the rural areas.
