David Sirota's online magazine of news & commentary
(Reader comments now accepted at Working Assets)
As April 15th approaches, the National Priorities Project has put out a terrific state-by-state, city-by-city resource for folks to see where their hard earned tax money is going. Previously, they put out a state-by-state report on how much we are paying for the Iraq war. This is exactly the kind of data progressives can use to highlight how conservatives are mismanaging the federal budget. Check it out.
I am the co-chairperson of the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) - a position I took after finishing a stint as a fellow at the Center for American Progress. I am also a writer for Working Assets, and a twice-a-week guest on the Al Franken Show. I have just completed a book for Random House's Crown Publishers entitled "Hostile Takeover" - it will be released Spring 2006. I also write a bi-weekly section for the Nation Magazine called Permanent Minority vs. Towards the Majority about Democrats failures and successes. For more on what I do, see this Washington Post story about my blog, this Molly Ivins column about my work, or this Newsweek profile about me.
