Frank Jackman comment:
Usually when I post
something from some other source, mostly articles and other materials that may
be of interest to the radical public that I am trying to address I place the
words “ A View From The Left” in the headline and let the subject of the
article speak for itself, or let the writer speak for him or herself without
further comment whether I agree with the gist of what is said or not. After all
I can write my own piece if some pressing issue is at hand. I do so here.

Kshama Sawant
Responds to State of the Union Address
Friends,
We have
an
unprecedented and historic opportunity before us to build the
progressive and socialist movement.
But these
movements won't be built from the sidelines, we need you in the field. We know
who's already in the field fighting for their interests - the 1% and
the right, CEO's and Wall Street, the developers and the landlords - in short
the ruling elite.
Socialist
Alternative is the tip of the spear of struggle. From launching 15 Now with
labor and community allies and building a movement that won a $15/hr minimum
wage in Seattle to electing and reelecting Kshama Sawant who has fought
unabashedly alongside working people - Socialist Alternative is an organization
that has proven itself to be a serious force with the right strategies and
tactics to take the fight to the 1%.
Socialist
Alternative is doing what few other organizations are - winning!
Because of
this we've been flooded with people from all over the country wanting to join
our movement. From Utah to Texas to Alabama working people are searching for a
way through the morass of capitalism. If 1000 people donate $5/month or $50 we can afford to hire
organizers that can go to these states to grow our movement.
Last night
Obama talked about the U.S. needing a "better" politics, we would say that's not
good enough - we need a new politics. One that
will put human need before corporate greed. A New Politics for the millions,
not the millionaires!
