The Next Fight for Education

 Friend -   Across the country Republicans are trying their damndest to change our education system.

Andy’s Desk: Who are we really fighting?

 Friend - Our big theme this year will be to inform and unite us against the real enemies putting their thumb on the scales of democracy. We have already mentioned Barre Seid ($1.6 billion right wing donation) and Leonard Leo (anti-abortion Supreme Court architect). But they are the tip of the ic…

Virginia, the Mother of Presidents?

 Friend,  Trivia Time: did you know that Virginia provided four of the first five presidents of the United States — and eight in all? That’s why the Commonwealth of Virginia is also coined “The Mother of Presidents.”   Though it’s all speculation, Richmond-born Gov. Glenn Youngkin has his eyes se…

From Andy’s Desk: Wisconsin an important lesson

 Friend - There are many theories out there about why Mandela Barnes did not win when Governor Evers did win in Wisconsin.   A few facts. Barnes got less than 2% fewer votes than Evers and that was enough to result in a loss. One of the biggest discrepancies (though not the only one but probably …
