A Politics of the Common Good

SNAP got a little shout out in Katrina Vanden Heuvel's latest online piece at The Nation:

Let's celebrate this gathering--of people of moxie, passion and conviction. Progressives across the country are building a feisty, populist politics, an actual movement based on real conviction, serious about taking power: one committed to changing course--ending a disastrous war that is undermining our security; building a more perfect union, fighting for national health care, addressing the investment deficit, fueling that moon shot for energy independence, draining the swamp of corruption and incompetence that is the hallmark of this congress and administration, and driving Democrats toward a real and renewed politics of the common good.

And, further down,

There is a new generation of student activists, journalist/muckrakers and thinkers. We're witnessing the emergence of scores of new progressive student groups --from the Roosevelt Institution, SNAP (Students for a New American Politics), to a 21st century Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Campus progress is supporting scores of left/progressive student campus publications -- a pluralistic network of journalists/muckrakers and editors poised to counter the right's messengers and publications.

A nice pat on the back for all the people who have made SNAP possible over the last year and a half.
