I'm proud to be pro-free-speech, pro-diversity, pro-choice, pro-privacy, pro-union, pro-organic, pro-environment, pro-due-process, pro-safety-net, pro-equality, pro-public-infrastructure, & a registered Democrat since 1989. Why would you really think freepers are my type?

The fact that I respect a codified right that sits between the First and Third Amendments in our Constitution in no way disqualifies me as a liberal. And consistent with the SOP of this group, I asked about priorities and legislative steps toward reducing gun violence. I happen to think it can be done most effectively without straying into the "shall not be infringed" territory of magazine capacities.

For the sake of the group, I'll voluntarily refrain from joining other threads here at GCRA. But I'm very happy being a long-time DU member, thank you very much. I posit that the Democratic Party needs rural liberal/libertarian-inclined Democrats like myself at least as much as it needs any other similarly-numbered constituency. The fact that we have the Bill of Rights on our side also helps.
