What does it mean to be a Progressive in 2010? What does it mean to challenge the warfare state in an election year? With so much on the line for Progressives, knowing how to redefine the terms of the political game becomes paramount as we try to change the ‘facts on the ground.’ Join Norman Solomon and others for a lively discussion about the state and future of the Progressive movement in the Democratic Party.
Norman Solomon is a nationally syndicated columnist on media and politics, and is national co-chair of the Healthcare NOT Warfare campaign, launched by Progressive Democrats of America. He is also co-chair of the Progressive Caucus’ Foreign Policy Committee along with Marcy Winograd, who is challenging Blue Dog Jane Harman for the Congressional seat in the State’s 36th district. His 2005 book ["War Made Easy]: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" was also made into a documentary with Sean Penn in 2007. You can find out more about Norman here.

Rich is an elected member of the Democratic Party Central Committee in Sacramento and Karen is chair of the California State Democratic Party’s Progressive Caucus. Karen recently co-authored a [resolution] along with Norman and Marcy calling for an end to the occupation of Afghanistan:
