Five years ago, we came together to build a grassroots movement and changed the way average citizens participate in the political process. From the very beginning, this movement has been an experiment in our political process, testing whether ordinary people could really come together to change our nation.
Oh, yes we can. We did.
Now, we must fight to keep that change moving forward for all of us.
The alternative is simply unacceptable.

Let's face it - no matter how hard we try - there is just no convincing some misinformed conservatives not to vote against their future and best interests. But for those progressives, liberals and fence-setters, here's a dark (and dare we say possible) scenario that could play out from "sitting this one out"...

The blow-up from the Christian and Catholic right-wingers shows that the fight over women’s sovereignty is shifting from abortion to contraception, as the anti-choice hardliners try to blur the lines and fortify their campaign for dominance over women’s reproductive rights. But as the recent furor over Susan G. Komen’s attempt to undermine Planned Parenthood proved, women are waking up to this war being waged on their rights, and they’re sick and tired of being the politically expedient whipping post of the regressive morons on the right.

Original video included images of protest signs by members of the Madison, Wisconsin teacher's union that played a pivotal role in the anti-Walker protests last year. One sign features the union logo, another reads: “Care About Educators Like They Care for Your Child.” In the final ad, the union logo is missing and the “Care About Educators…” sign is replaced with one featuring an image of an alarm clock. Several other union signs are simply whited out.

'That’s why I’m sending Congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgages by refinancing at historically low rates. No more red tape. No more endless forms. And a small fee on the largest financial institutions will make sure it doesn’t add a dime to the deficit.'

The brief video emphasizes what the right-wing continues to ignore: it takes a strong and centered couple (and family) to bring about real change, and set an example for all Americans in the toughest of times. Barack and Michelle have been superb role models as they've weathered personal attacks, racism, disinformation and slander, while fighting for real change.

As the Republican primaries drag on, the GOP contenders have been taking their swipes at President Obama mid their attacks on each other. The swipes are illustrative of some of the core themes of the anti-Obama campaign. The themes share a common trait beyond being aimed at Obama: they’re all false.

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially scheduled oral arguments regarding the constitutionality of President Obama’s landmark Affordable Care Act, particularly the healthcare reform’s individual mandate. The announcement confirms earlier speculation that the high court would issue a ruling on the healthcare law next year, during the heat of the 2012 presidential campaign.

I happen to think that, as Progressives, we have a greater responsibility to question the President on his policies, because we’re the ones who put him into office, and if we refuse to be honest about our own guy, then all of those derisive spitballs lobbed at the other side are nothing more than a grand exercise in hypocrisy of the worst kind.

This is the defining issue of our time. This is a make or break moment for the middle class, and all those who are fighting to get into the middle class. At stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home, and secure their retirement.
