The fifth of six speakers who addressed the 2009 Healthcare-Now.org National Strategy Conference Saturday afternoon in St. Louis, Carpenters resume includes having served on the team that managed the unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign of Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). Today, hes known as the executive director of Progressive Democrats of America, an ultra-liberal group pushing for the single-payer health care option.

Carpenter spent most of his seven minutes addressing matters of collaboration and strategy with approximately 100 like-minded individuals in the room.

Not everybody can get arrested, but some of us can get arrested, he said. Not all of us can run for Congress, but all of us can challenge members of Congress.

He went on to explain that its our responsibility as part of a larger social movement to stand and challenge the electoral process inside and outside the party.
