Check it out : I had fun putting together this video—which also calls out some uplifting wins MoveOn members and other progressives were able to achieve this year despite the "Do-Nothing Congress." I hope you'll take just a minute to   watch   and, if you enjoy it, pass it on. Thanks for all you do—and all the best in 2014. –Robert Reich
