Title
Progressive Populist
Description
The Progressive Populist reports from the heartland of America on issues of interest to workers, small-business owners and family farmers and ranchers. In addition to reports from staff and contributing writers, the Populist prints populist essays, speeches and articles from independent newspapers and magazines. It publishes progressive and populist columnists whose points of view are blocked out of most daily newspaper op-ed pages.
The newspaper is edited by Jim Cullen, formerly a veteran daily newspaper reporter in Texas and Louisiana and associate editor of the Texas Observer, and Art Cullen, editor of the twice-weekly Storm Lake (Iowa) Times.
Too many well-meaning, frustrated working people are attracted to the rhetoric of the corporate-owned Republican Party, or have lost faith in the Democratic Party, on which corporations have held a long-term lease. The Progressive Populist provides a vehicle for organizing a populist movement with progressive values. It amplifies those populist voices and tells people how they can make a difference.
The conventional wisdom is that working people won't read a newspaper. In fact many don't trust the newspapers and magazines they see nowadays, and why should they? The corporate media is compromised and in most cases offer only pro-corporate points of view. We think it would be an exciting innovation to have a newspaper that would take the people's side on any given subject and expose scoundrels like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Frist, Dennis Hastert, Tom DeLay and others for the big-business shills that they are.

Winning The Future by Newt Gingrich 2006 revised ed
- I
met Newt Gingrich in 1987 when he was promoting his attack on Speaker Wright called "House of Ill Repute." Newt has a new book called "Winning The Future" 20006 paperback edition. Newt has reinvented himself and I think he is running for president in 2008. Newt was forced to resign as Speaker several years ago over a book deal. The Internal Revenue Service studied his book deal and found it legal and proper. Newt has written a number of Civil War novels. Newt spoke at the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars about a year ago on his book and answered questions. Iaskedhim about the failure of Speakers who sought the presidency. Henry Clay had run once I said. No, Professor Gingrich corrected me. Henry Clay had run twice. Against Buchanan and against Jackson. Newt taught history at West Georgia near Atlanta and also taught environmental science and technology at the same place beforebeing elected to the House on his second try.
