Frank Russo's California Progress Report -- "The Daily Briefing for Politics, Policy and Progressive Action" -- intends to be the "water cooler around which California progressives and other thoughtful Californians can gather -- to check in with each other and share information and points of view or to follow the news and the pulse of state politics and policy in more detail." You'll get more news in the headline on today's issue, "California Senate Passes Universal Single Payer Health Bill, Assembly Passes Minimum Wage Increase and Send Them to Governor; Flood Bill is Alive and Will Be Voted on; Prison Bills to Be Voted on Last in Assembly—Intense Labor Opposition," than you sometimes find in a whole issue of the L.A. Times.

Political Activism: Here's one plan aimed at November
This is from the People's Email Network:
Who's got a plan for winning in November?
Here's the plan. We are setting up virtual phone banks all over the country to call our neighbors and friends to let them know there are candidates out there fighting for them on the issues they care about now. And all we're asking our participants to do is make 10 calls a week, just 10 calls a week in your spare time.
And if we just do that, each of us, in the next 4 months we can build the most ferocious ground game ever witnessed in the history of American politics.
Each of our candidates is featuring a progressive issue we believe will resonate with their constituents, with an action page on their on web site as evidence that they taking a stand on this issue now. Just pick a phone bank for an issue you care about, log in, and you can start making calls immediately.
You will need a Blades of Grass password to participate. If you don't already have one first go to: http://www.usalone.com/bladesofgrass.htm
and your password will be good at all the Virtual Phone Banks so you can help out anywhere you are needed. Here are the first two virtual phone banks in business now.

Veronica Hambacker (MO-08):
Action: Revisit NAFTA/CAFTA and amend them to be FAIR, not FREE, trade agreements.

The War in Iraq: "I was wrong" -- John Edwards
Former senator and veep-candidate John Edwards said Thursday he made a mistake in 2002 when he voted to back President Bush's attack of Iraq. "I voted for this war. I was wrong," Edwards told a crowd of about 300 people gathered outside the Yale University School of Medicine. "I should not have voted for this war and I take responsibility for that."
