[Sosfbay-discuss] getting the word out

[Andrea Dorey]

Sam, I think it's a great idea.

I have been offended by the week-long platform on KPFA for the usual  
biennial whining of the Democratic Party about the urgency of getting  
the Republicans out of office and voting for Democrats to accomplish  
this. Like "voting for the lesser evil" has done such a great job for  
the last 12 to 16 years, eh?
