Can anyone recommend
any weekly or monthly publications that agree with our views?

Also, if anyone can recommend any good books on political topics you would think I'd find interesting/enlightening, I would appreciate it, too.

Thanks!

10. I love the Al Franken book Lies and the Lying Liars, etc.
You read it (or listen to it on CD which is my preference) and you get SO worked up. He's done his homework. Very informative.

I'm so glad to hear that!

We need more honest citizens running for office, so we can vote for y'all instead of the crooked creeps in there now!

13. There are lots...
The Nation
Mother Jones
The American Prospect
Hightower Lowdown Newsletter
The Progressive Populist
In These Times
The Iconoclast (this is the Crawford Texas newspaper that went with Kerry. It feels really good to support them.)


On-line, I love Salon at salon.com, and, of course, there's also alternet.org and truthout.org.

16. If you are interested in progressive economics
Dollars and Sense

http://www.dollarsandsense.org/

There is also a great book that I've been plugging by Gar Alperovitz, America Beyond Capitalism - Reclaiming Our Wealth, Our Liberty and Our Democracy.
