Today I went and videotaped/photographed a local progressive candidate, Suzanne Elder, who is running against a Chicago Machine opponent for State Senator. It was supposed to be on YouTube by now (we advertised it as such) but dontchaknow that YouTube took the upload new video OFFLINE before I could get it on there! Anyway, here it is (less than eight minutes):

anyone else helping out their locals?

AlGoreFan, you rock!

Helping progressive candidates win local election is straight out of "The Assault on Reason." Outstanding job in making the YouTube video for MS. Suzanne Elder, who is running for Illinois State Senate (7th District) against the establishment and wants to break "pay-to-play" doctrine, is against turning Chicago into a gambling house like Las Vegas, and strongly believes in the Universal Health Care.
