Tucson Progressive on TucsonCitizen.com, Examiner.com, and facebook

Last fall I moved my Tucson Progressive blog to the Tucson Citizen. One of the reasons for moving to the Citizen was the vastly larger audience. I had seen the hits to this blog coming from the Citizen steadily increase. As a result, I decided to take my relationship with the Citizen to the next level.

All old and new stories can now be found at Tucson Progressive on the Citizen website.

I also have a Tucson Progressive facebook page. (Go, ahead, like me by clicking here.)

Last but not least, I have revived my Tucson Progressive Examiner blog.

You may see some stories in multiple places (mea culpa), but you also will see customized content for each of these blogs.

Here are some of my most recent stories...

How to reform education: The answer song

AZ Elections Director ‘goofs’ and derails Pearce recall effort

Interesting reading: Healthcare reform to toll roads to wing-nuts

More news on McClung's ties to extremist groups

Over on my Tucson Citizen blog, I have posted several stories about CD7 Republican Congressional challenger Ruth McClung and her ties to extremist and often blatantly racist groups who are fundraising and endorsing her.

Will the real Ruth McClung please stand up? first brought to light her endorsement by the right wing Republican Majority Campaign and the Grover Norquist TV ad on her behalf.

The sequel: Will the real Ruth McClung please stand up? (part 2) continues the discussion of her ties to Norquist and Sarah Palin. Even though McClung signed the Norquist pledge and spouted his soundbites at the CD7 debate, she claims not to know who he is.

Desperately seeking ‘Republican Majority Campaign’, signed RM further delves into the shadowy Republican Majority Campaign and its racist ties. The title is a take-off on the 1980s cult classic "Desperately Seeking Susan" where bored housewife (Rosanna Arquette) places a newspaper ad to find her wild-child friend, Susan, (played by Madonna). Like the bored housewife, McClung want to play on the wild side with the RMC.
