We apologize profusely but frankly, we are taking the rest of this month to catch up on some planning, hooking into iTunes (what a PAIN) and upgrading the Action Point website...among other things. We WILL be keeping you in touch with our progress and Cynthia will be blogging on Action Point too! Stay tuned in RUR-- your progressive home on the Internets!

HOUR ONE: Help friends of the blind Opposing Freedom Scientific's Secure and Compatible Braille Display Initiative, Chris Snyder expains. A long look at pros and cons of the just House-passed health insurance reform act: Jane Hamsher (and I) bemoan women's rights' sacrifice for it's passage, red-meat activist REDSTATE editor Eric Erickson bemoans the “Stupak Amendment” offered by pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak that he claims was a pro-life sellout and prime reason for its passage (?), and Dennis Kucinich who voted NO, takes a sigle-payer only stand.
HOUR TWO: So is there ANY reason to celebrate this vote? I look at a few who enumerate the plusses, and my own position wraps it up.

6:45 Pacific, 7:45 AZMST. 9:45 ET-- the PALAST REPORT-- Greg brings us his theory of Invasion by Hypnosis.
News, views and a beginning look at the GOP/conservative red-meat right's on-going strategy to run a 2010/2012 Campaign "by Hypnosis." The indoctrination goes like this: Barack Hussein Obama = socialism = foreigner = government takeover = Barack Hussein Obama = not like you and me = loss of freedom = end of America = communism = Barack Hussein Obama = you are getting very scared = Barack Hussein Obama the foreigner hates America (hear actor Jon Voight mindlessly intone the mantra) = you are voting for the GOP, etc.
When did this strategy start? With Rush Limbaugh's SHOT (shout) over the Democratic (and media) bow: I HOPE HE FAILS!!!
Limbaugh's (Heritage...

Shrink loses it at Fort Hood (did we mention he's MUSLIM?) coz the red-meat right is already firing up the grill for this one...Michelle Bachman loses it in Washington with KILL THE BILL party (kill? did someone say KILL?) and actor Jon Vight mindlessly intones the GOP/conservative mantra (Obama = be very afraid)...HR 3149 and what it would mean for credit-weakened Americans seeking jobs...the Green News, views and more!

This past week-end a beloved and vital friend to ACTION POINT and Arizona activists state-wide, Katherine Ingram, passed in her sleep in hospice in the early morning hours of October 31, from advanced lung cancer.
Known to the blogging community as "Katymine", Katherine was an avid and committed woman of great joy and intelligence who embodied the ideals of progressivism: fairness, compassion, true tolerance and commitment to establishing social justice.
Join me this week with your silent prayers and rememberances for this wonderful and already much-missed friend and compatriot, Katherine Ingram.
