The Congressional Progressive Caucus currently consists of 80 progressives, including 77 voting representatives, two nonvoting delegates and one senator. More <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Progressive_Caucus" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Although many senators choose not to join the caucus, for reasons not clear to me, you can count among Senate progressives Barbara Boxer, Sherrod Brown, Carl Levin, Al Franken, Tom Harkin, John Kerry, Amy Klobuchar, Frank Lautenberg, Pat Leahy, Bob Menendez, Barbara Mikulski, Patty Murray, Jack Reed, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Debbie Stabenow, Sheldon Whitehouse and Ron Wyden. Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Jon Tester probably belong on the list as well.<br /><br />There might be more; I'm just not that familiar with all of them and their voting records.<br /><br />Plus — and this is a welcome development — Alan Grayson is running for Congress again in 2012.S.W.

He's probably not the only one.<br /><br />I think we need a liberal insurgency to take the Democratic Party back to representing working people, farmers and small-business owners. Easier said than done, but if conservative extremists and Astroturf hirelings can take over the GOP, liberals should be able to take over the Democratic Party.S.W.

I totally agree with you about a third party but if it is anything like England - or should I say the UK or even GREAT Britain - it's all a sham anyway. I must say I am somewhat amused by our farce at the moment. Poor old Nick Clegg doesn't get a look in. He seems more like a pet dog.Toxic Drumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422159950237560120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-1078442555308752782011-08-04T07:42:04.473-07:002011-08-04T07:42:04.473-07:00A third party will never be allowed to have a say,...A third party will never be allowed to have a say, but what bothers me most is you lumping the innocent vermin in with the truly grotesque.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.com
