Meek removes support from two controversial bills
by Michael C. Bender | October 22nd, 2009U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, D-Miami, reportedly removed his name from the list of cosponsors on a single-payer healthcare bill and another that calls for a review and renegotiation of U.S. trade agreements.
From The Hill:
The decision to remove himself as cosponsor of the two bills suggests that Meek is moving to the political center. Meek is the clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination for former Sen. Mel Martinez’s (R-Fla.) old seat after Rep. Corrine Brown announced she would not challenge Meek for the Democratic nomination.

Once again the Democrats prove to be useless. And once again progressives are left without representation.
Come on people. It’s time to register, support and run for office under third parties. And this does not include NPA or independent; these are not political parties.
