Talking to Kerri Evelyn Harris, the Mom, Vet, and Mechanic Staring Down Delaware’s Political Machine

Great interview in Splinterwith Kerri Evelyn Harris.
When Carper continued his track record of not standing up for the people when push came to shove—when it comes to saying no to the Keystone Pipeline, or whether it’s voting in favor of pharmaceutical companies and financial institutions against the best interests of his constituents—there’s a problem. There’s a lot of damage to be done when we have Democrats who are in who don’t stand their ground when it’s time to stand up for people. What use is your power if it’s not used to stand up for the people?

Lessons from history

Eight years ago Delaware Liberal, at the time a broadsheet hand scribed on 24lb premium linen paper, admonished Thurman Adams to "Die or get off the pot!" Adams, never one to get off the pot, later died. That's how powerful the broadsheet was back before Twitter. A few years later, this blog's dogged reporting and rapier wit caused Mike Castle to quit politics. Now we are engaged in getting rid of Tom Carper. If history is any guide, Carper is done.
