Leonard Clark 'Liberal' Soldier Arrested In Iraq by Jimstaro is a currently recommended diary.
Leonard has been arrested and his blog has been shut down for calling for the impeachment of George Bush.He is a natioal guard soldier who is more than willing to go out on patrol.

Please read jimstaro's diary and recommend it so the Kos machine can move into action behind Leonard Clark.

As a sideline to the convention, a lot of progressive groups are having conferences.  Besides having Hillary and Andrea Cabral (Black woman running locally for Sheriff) speak, there will be workshops on being a woman senator, in congress, and organizing women to vote.
It's this afternoon.
