Libs take heart!

Liberals take heart!  No matter how ugly the reactionary forces may get, they know they are fading, and the future is ours.  Or something like that.


Psst! There are liberals near you.

On this Valentine's Day, Living Liberally wants to make sure your bleeding-hearts feel a little left-leaning love.  

You usually hear from your local hosts, but we at Liberally Headquarters wanted to share five stories we love about liberals from the Drinking Liberally happy hours and across Living Liberally universe:

1) We love the liberals in Idaho Falls who hosted a screening of the award-winning "Inside Job" with the local Occupy organizers, leading a Republican State Representative who attended to vote AGAINST an anti-Occupy resolution.
2) We love that nearly 50 members of our Liberally network are running for office in 2012 as part of the Candidate Project! We’re excited to see who among you will soon be Leading Liberally in elected office.

3) We love that our Des Moines Drinking Liberally chapter recorded a congratulatory video to the state of Washington over Marriage Equality -- applauding Washington "for becoming as progressive as Iowa."

4) We love that Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, a Vice Chair of the DNC, has made return visits to his local chapter, even donning a Drinking Liberally shirt.

5) And we love that Holly and Ravi, who met at a Los Angeles meeting, have tied the knot.  With marriages in Cincinnati, Nashville, Des Moines and elsewhere, our members are truly Wedding Liberally -- as well as Parenting Liberally as we raise a new generation of liberals.

How's that for a Valentine's Day update that will lift your liberal spirits?
What do you love about Living Liberally?  Tell us now!
And know that you can find local lefties at nearby Liberally chapters...or you can always start a group.  We'd love to have you.
Liberally,
Justin, Katrina, Matt, Amie, Mark, Linda, Chris, Robyn, Dan, Kathleen, Bill, Steve, John & Jeremiah
