" In 2010 we should concentrate on generating the kind of public information, vigorous debate and grassroots organizing that could shift the center of political gravity in a progressive direction.....Among progressives, in these dark closing days of 2009, there's a surplus of frustration, anger and despair. Let's transform those downbeat energies into fuel for the imperative political work ahead"

Norman Solomon, Flares in the Political Dark
