I've just added a link to the Center for American Progress over on the side. They have been doing a great job of covering the current debate on Medicare and presription drugs in Congress, and how AARP (of which I'm a member) is trying to convince their membership to blindly accept the GOP bill. The organization's (AARP, that is) argument is basically that even if this bill isn't 'perfect' we should urge our Senators and Representatives to pass it and we can fix it later. B***S***, as far as I'm concerned.

The Center also has a daily newletter that covers other "progressive" causes and issues which may be on interest to folks who read this blog. Check it out!
