The pushback was in the area of environmentalism and labor strikes, but you're right that on the governmental front things were dismal. We need to push hard for progressive primary challengers. candidatesummit.com

1/The attitudes, energies, and feelings with which we enter into a situation go far towards determining how the situation will unfold. Nothing is more 20th Century than to think our perceptions have nothing to do with our reality...
