David Sirota, who many of you may remember as a strategist and rapid response staffer for Ned Lamont's Senate campaign, now has a weekly syndicated column.
Creators Syndicate asked David to write the column after the tragic death of legendary journalist Molly Ivins.
For those of you who don't know David, he is one of America's leading progressive voices. Author of the book, Hostile Takeover: How Big Money and Corruption Conquered Our Government and How We Take It Back, David also blogs at WorkingAssetsBlog.com, and he writes a monthly column for the San Francisco Chronicle.
If you would like to read a progressive point of view in your local newspaper, stop by David's blog and follow the instructions he provides for contacting editors.
As David explains:
The more these editors hear from you - their local readers - that you would like to see the column printed in your local papers, the better the chance there is that they will run the column.
So, if you support my writing and think we need a strong, progressive populist voice to counter the glut of right-wing syndicated columnists on the editorial pages of local newspapers, then please email or call your local editorial page editors and let them know you'd like them to run my weekly Creators Syndicate column.
You can read samples of David's work here and on his blog.
To get an idea of David's view of the world, here's a clip from a panel discussion at the Center for American Progress:
