Nickel & Dimed...

While political life here in Buffalo and Erie County continues to implode and plans to Revitalize Buffalo seem to be increasingly more unlikely with 15 people/day leaving the city, and where burned out and blighted images of Buffalo become more familiar than images of Beirut or war torn Baghdad, there is at least one dedicated group of local folks who really understand the deep systemic fault lines that are now exposed for all to see. Free Buffalo will challenge some of your basic assumptions about how political and economic life is organized and how Buffalo Politics has been force fed, intravenously into us for generations.
So, if you consider yourself to be "open-minded" and "tolerant", someone who "embraces diversity" and "alternative points of view" explore this, position paper from Free Buffalo.
Jim Ostrowski is not the only "libertarian" here in Buffalo, New York. Dr. Ralph Raico from the History Deptartment at Buffalo State College is an internationally recognized scholar and intellectual heavy weight when it comes to using your mind when there are no longer dots to connect and where the map you thought was going to work no longer fits the territory.

Before making anymore plans to Revitalize Buffalo...try revitalizing your mind! Still reading and open minded? Check out what Dr Raico has to say about the hair-brained political choices are being served on today's menu. Whip out your iPod and get the podcasts. It's all free for the taking, a virtual graduate level course on how to stop this ship from sinking.

Yeah...I had a two hour sit-down with Jim Ostrowski Wednesday evening and three other like minded people. Spare me the ad hominem arguments, study the issues and learn how to Free Buffalo today for tomorrow!

btw...Free Buffalo is working alongside Primary Challenge to help bring some fresh blood to the local political scene. Oh...did somebody see that Primary Challenge endorsed Judy Einach for Mayor! I wrote about Judy's endorsement awhile back!
