Andrew Rasiej will be a force for progressive values in NYC — not to mention all the free wifi you can eat — if he's elected to the llittle-noticed office of Public Advocate. If you're a NYC resident, the city will match any contribution up to $250 with a 4x donation — so your $250 gets the campaign $1250 — but only if you act by Monday, July 11th; by then the campaign has to have raised $125,000 to be eligible for the matching funds. Donate here. (Andrew was featured in the NYer recently.) [Technorati tags: rasiej politics nyc] Posted

I'm sorry, for exactly what progressive values will he "be a force?" The only thing he ever talks about is wi-fi!
I know technology can be used to do a lot, but it doesn't do everything. You can put all the internet you want in our schools, it doesn't change the fact that a thousand kids are sharing one computer in a stairwell.
I don't see how you can talk about bringing NYC progressive values and not talk about Siegel. Let Andy be head of Technology or something. If Bloomberg arrests me for protesting the next RNC, I want the PA to do more than blog it.
Let's get our heads on straight and remember just how much there is to fight for. Siegel's the only choice.

Progressive4NYC, you should at least put in a link to Norman Siegel's page: http://www.norman2005.com/
He's got a great record.
