David Kronke writes, in LA Daily News:
Eric Haney, a retired command sergeant major of the U.S. Army, was a founding member of Delta Force, the military's elite covert counter-terrorist unit. He culled his experiences for "Inside Delta Force" (Delta; $14), a memoir rich with harrowing stories, though in an interview, Haney declines with a shrug to estimate the number of times he was almost killed. (Perhaps the most high-profile incident that almost claimed his life was the 1980 failed rescue of the hostages in Iran.)
As many other men and women with military experience have spoken out against the reasons for Bush to go to war with Iraq, Eric Haney has both the experience and knowledge to say forcefully that this is is leading to the nation's military that is unfit to fight a real enemy in the near future.

I'm went to my precinct caucus, #844, for the Democratic Party of Denver, and I am now a delegate to the Denver Democrat Assembly, which will be held at Lincoln High School, 2285 South Federal Blvd, April 8th, beginning at 8 a.m.
Last election cycle I then went to the State Assembly as an alternative delegate from HD 8A.
(One of the goals that I will be proposing for Operation Bird Dog/PDA- Chapter Denver will be to have one of our members be a Colorado national delegate in 2008.)
As the election draws nearer there are many good people running and working for various campaigns in Denver and Colorado like Colorado Senator Ken Gordon is an announced candidate for Secretary of State.
Many bloggers have noted that this is a non presidential election cycle and that turnout by the the general voting population is low. I know that in my precinct caucus there was about half the turnout from the '04 cycle. This is troubling because the general sentiment in the country is for a wholesale change in Congress. However if turnout is low then the base of each party takes on an even more important aspect for the respective House and Senate races.
The netroots citizens have a duty to register new voters as Democrats and to GOTV on election day for our side.
My partner and I did GOTV last election and it is a wonderful experience to meet people and help them vote.
