Progressives are on the move once more. Wisconsin lit the spark, as workers, students, teachers and farmers occupied the state’s capitol in February and launched recall elections that sobered conservative Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his legislative allies. Occupy Wall Street turned that spark into a conflagration that swept the nation. Last week, in Ohio and Maine and even Mississippi, voters overwhelmingly rejected efforts to trample worker rights, constrict the right to vote and roll back women’s rights.
These electoral victories have led pundits to wonder whether Occupy Wall Street will imitate the Tea Party and stand candidates for office. But Occupy is a protest movement — one that has transformed the landscape of politics, by forcing the country to face the reality of entrenched inequality and power and address what should be done about it. It will take others to fill the space that it has opened.
Progressive Majority (PM), the only progressive organization dedicated to the recruitment and support of candidates at the state and local level, is leading the effort to turn that protest into power. It has just launched Run for America, joining with partners such as Moveon.org, US Action, People for the American Way, Rebuild the Dream and the New Organizing Institute in an audacious drive to recruit, train and support 2,012 candidates in 2012 for state, local and national office. In barely two months, PM President Gloria Totten reports that more than 1,000 activists have signed up to run. The energy of Wisconsin and Occupy Wall Street is finding its way into the electoral process.
Progressive Majority’s initiative is a good example of how movements transform politics. Now marking its 10th anniversary, PM has elected hundreds of progressives to office, helping to flip six state legislative bodies — from Washington to Minnesota....

Two page column.
I’ve been reading this woman for decades, and it seems she writes one of these ‘the workers are revolting’ columns every four months.
Seriously—she has said this same thing over, and over, and over, and over again—”This is it! The Revoltion is at hand!!!!”
Progressives = Communists.

Perhaps she’s heard that even a blind sow finds an acorn once in awhile.
Soros and Union funded Marxists who want to surrender America to a third world status with no money, food, guns or military. FU, I’ll die first, maggot Commie.
The Obama brownshirts plan to Occupy Congress and try to force the GOP to pass everything Obama wants. It will cost a ton of money to bus all those people to DC. You know, they are so poor. lol.
Nothing grassroots or 99% about them.
WTF is she smoking?
They want the US to be like Democratic Kampuchea. (Khmer Rouge) Remember that the west and the UN recognized the Khmer Rouge LONG LONG after the Killing Fields and genocides were known about. The Khmer Rouge-in-exile held the Cambodian UN seat until all the way to 1993!!
Even after the Vietnamese and “Free” Cambodian forces retook the country the rest of the world refused to surrender the dream of the Khmer Rouge. This was no accident of history.
That is the history that the Obama OWS wants to repeat.
KVH is one of the more loathsome demonic marxists out there. She comes across like she absolutely knows every word out of her mouth is a bald-faced lie and she’s more than cool with it.
That’s probably why they don’t put her on TV very much. Smug, detestable and overtly evil... that’s a toxic mix when you’re trying to con swing voters.
When man is gone and long forgotten, the cockroach will be chewin' something rotten.
It's been a lot of years, but thinking about what CVH said brought it to mind. I'll bet you know why.
Are there not ANY "non-bow-wows" among the female gender Libs?
She is right! Communists ARE on the march.....Obama, the Unions and the OWS are just the tip of the Iceberg!!
“And the pigs began to walk on their hind legs!”
She went to the elite schools, has always had servants and drivers and body guards, so its easy to be in favor of things like gun control for the peons.
She is one of the most arrogant, obnoxious bitches on the left, and if the revolution that they keep crying for ever comes she will be one of many in a target rich environment.
