The New Dem Dispatch

November 27, 2007 Wonder Down Under We wish newly elected Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his party good luck in office, and hope his victory represents an international trend. November 16, 2007 Idea of the Week: Three Ways To Make America Safer New security challenges require completely new thinking. That's why the Progressive Policy Institute has released three new reports taking on particularly thorny challenges. November 9, 2007 Idea of the Week: Making Work Pay For Men For millions of poor women and their children, the great welfare reform experiment of the 1990s was a tremendous success -- inspiring a dramatic increase in work participation as well as a dramatic reduction in poverty. The next big step in ending poverty as we know it is to inspire and expect the same from men. November 1, 2007 Idea of the Week: A Free Trade Agreement With Peru Shaped by Reps. Charles Rangel and Sandy Levin, the Free Trade Agreement with Peru strikes a good balance between traditional market-opening measures and progressive social goals. October 22, 2007 Idea of the Week: Building Coalitions To Deal With the Budget Crisis To dramatize the budget crisis, and begin building an atmosphere for cross-partisan solutions, the Progressive Policy Institute has reached out to the conservative Heritage Foundation, the independent New America Foundation, and the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, to host a joint event tomorrow in Washington, co-chaired by Sens. Tom Carper (D-DE) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
