Network gets its blog on!
We’ve decided it’s time to take the plunge into the 21st Century and add our voice to the blogoshpere. Thanks to our Webmaster Steve Hait for gently easing us into this medium. We hope this will be a useful forum for us to stay in touch, share our stories and ideas, and to give hope to other progressives in South Carolina. We also hope to reach beyond our own membership to broaden our base and engage folks who have yet to get active in their communities and government.
Because we progressives live in a hostile climate here in the Palmetto State, this site will be moderately moderated. We invite your posts, but comments will be monitored to keep the ubiquitous and rabid right from infecting this site with their venom. This doesn’t mean that the loopiest of the left can expect a free pass, either. We’re interested in a thoughtful exchange rather than bombs lobbed in either direction. There is enough of that in this world.
Let the blogging begin!

In this critical time it is incumbent on each of us to take on the role of citizen.

Hey! This is exciting. Those of us down here in the Low Country don’t always feel connected to the rest of the progressive network. This is the time for ideas! Ideas to flourish by sharing. Congrats for taking this step.

Come in, Rangoon.
Good going, Bec. I look forward to seeing this community think tank grow. God knows we need as much sanity as we can get round here.

I’ve crossed a few (state) lines since I’ve seen you last, but I left a piece of my heart with you. I’ve launched a new group called PANinA - Peace and Nonviolence IN Atlanta/Asheville/Abingdon. Please join the yahoo discussion group - website will follow shortly. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PANinA I’ll be facilitating our first teleconference next week in which we will discuss how to bring attention to southeastern US progressives through regional propeace event reporting and production. I’ll be particularly interested in covering the SC ProNet Democracy Day.

Friends of Justice,
I’m IN! This is great, we’ve just moved from Summerville,SC back to my
old home town, and I’m eager to meet upstate progressives and to get to
work on a progressive agenda.
