Party affiliation shouldn’t matter and, ultimately, it won’t.

I keep meaning to get to that book.

The Peter Annin book The Great Lakes Water Wars we profiled a while ago had some truly frightening implications for the Great Lakes. When you see corporations like GE, Ford, BP and others holding meetings on climate change, you start to see that maybe this isn’t a Republican vs. Democrat issue.

One of the things we (as Dems) need to be better about is holding our elected officials accountable once we’ve elected them.

That Green Party thing is quite ironic, isn’t it?
