This morning, we ran a full page ad on the back of the Denver Post convention section called "Democracy in Distress."  Check it out here.

This same morning, Rep. Robert Wexler spoke at the Progressive Central forum in Denver and if I hadn't known better, I'd have thought he was reading from the ad and from our Recapture the Flag campaign agenda to restore the rule of law and the Constitution.  Apologies for the shoddy video quality, but it's worth watching just to hear Wexler hitting the bulls eye on torture, executive privilege, inherent contempt for Karl Rove, and other examples of executive abuses of power that should not stand as precedent for future administrations.

I handed Wexler a copy of the ad after he spoke, and he was pretty excited by it.  Here's hoping we find a few more like Wexler in Congress ready to join us and take back our democracy.

On a tangential note, Denver has been enlightening, worthwhile and sometimes fun, but I am ready for a full night's sleep again.
