About Left News and Views
As a life-long progressive, I have always supported those whose goals are to promote social justice and work for political reform. I believe America should work with other nations to promote peace in the world rather than bludgeon those who would disagree.
My goal in Left News and Views is to expose abuses of our rights as citizens, spotlight hypocrisy in government, and most important in today's world, push to get us out of Iraq and bring our troops home.
