David Sirota's online magazine of news & commentary
(Reader comments now accepted at Working Assets)
In putting together the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) for state legislators, I've been doing some more research on exactly how the right-wing's American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) works. It is fascinating. Check out this, this, this, and this article to see exactly what we're up against in the states - and why we need a PLAN to fight back.
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 Senior Editor at the In These Times magazine, and 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.
