A higher cause

The Principles Project:
Perhaps this is good, and perhaps this is lame and/or bad. But it's worth looking at -- it's an attempt at claiming morality, a sense of values, for the progressive party who suffered so heavily in the election because the rest of the country/voters think that the democrats have no "values." Is this all for naught? Well, if the only reason is trying to appeal to conservative voters, then yes. However, as i pointed out to Sen. Tom Allen, (D, Maine) last summer, the democratic party really needs to take a few moments to listen to each other and work productively rather than geekily sit on a high horse attached to their individual causes and which causes need more attention in Congress. We're not going to get anywhere fighting against ourselves, so i think this page is a good place to look at so you can see where we might start the internal dialogue and external outreach. http://www.principlesproject.com/
