VOTE! even if you disagree with me, just VOTE!!!
and another thing...
Here is a letter to supporters of the Progressive Majority. They are flipping over local governments similar to Mao Tse Tung's strategies during his cultural revolution, where he focused his efforts on small villages and cities after being initially defeated on a national level.
Who can stand up to this kind of money on a local level unless they solicit funds from businessmen and women who provide local living wage jobs and the Local PACS they belong to?
These candidates that they support at city and county levels are considered their "Farm Club" grooming them for future bigger more important offices. We in Whatcom county are subjected to being one of their chosen playgrounds. Our LOCAL elections are no longer Local. Progressive Majority candidate Carl Wiemer was the camel's nose under the tent. This year they have 4.
Read their own words.
Dear Friend,
Progressive Majority has already helped put 209 progressives in office and flipped 21 state or local governments to progressive majorities in just four years. This year alone, we have already flipped three local governments.
In less than 24 hours voters will hit the polls and mail ballots are due. Our candidates are making their final push and our staff is right there behind them. We're out waving signs at 6 a.m. no matter if it is snowing and going door to door all afternoon with our candidates.
Why are we doing this? Because our candidates embody the progressive values of access to affordable, quality health care; education; protecting our environment; civil rights; reproductive freedom; and economic justice. A couple of days from now our candidates will begin work on their progressive agendas as newly elected city council members, school board members, and county officials.
This has been a good year for progressives already, but it is about to get a lot better.
Below are updates on just a few of over a hundred Progressive Majority recruited and trained candidates with elections on November 6th. These candidates are locked in tight races and pulling out all the stops to win. Visit our web site to learn about the other Progressive Majority candidates.
Arizona
John Williams UpdateThank you for your immediate response to our fundraising plea for John Williams, candidate for Surprise City Council!
Your contributions helped him get his last piece of mail out the door, but he still has a few last minute expenses and needs your help to ensure that he wins tomorrow. Click here to make a secure online donation to help John pay for the mailing that may be the difference.
Thank you again for your quick response and support enabling John to reach critical undecided voters.
ColoradoProgressive Majority candidates Karen Kellen, Cindy Baroway, Tom Quinn, and Bob Murphy are all locked in tough races in Lakewood. They are running against well-funded Tea Party Candidates - a group of Libertarians, who are bent on undoing publicly funded city infrastructure. That sounds pretty horrific to me. Karen, Cindy, Tom, and Bob have all contacted thousands of voters at the doors, on the phones, and in the mail boxes. Ballots have all gone out and the stakes couldn't be higher. Their loss would mean the forward planning for the city will be lost to a group of no growth, no services, and no government libertarians.
To their north in Westminster, Faith Winter is making waves as she blazes toward victory. Faith has knocked on over 12,000 doors and she is breaking fundraising records for the city election. Faith will add a much needed progressive and consensus building voice to the city council. Hopefully Westminster will have a new Progressive Champion with a bright political future.
Minnesota
Our staff has been working hard with Kim Ross, as she works to help turn the Eden Prairie School Board to a progressive majority. All that hard work paid off recently when she swept the endorsements of her two local newspapers, The Eden Prairie News and the Eden Prairie Sun Current. Helping Kim secure these critical endorsements is just the tip of the iceberg. We've also worked with her on the direct mail plan, fundraising, and pro-kids progressive message.
Pennsylvania
Peter Amuso has seen the surge in gun crimes in Montgomery County and he is not going to let his community be torn apart anymore. Progressive Majority has helped Peter hone his message and stump speech on this issue close to his heart so he can bring much needed change to Montgomery County. Peter wants to see new state legislation limiting the handgun purchases to one per month and requiring gun owners to report lost or stolen guns to police immediately. Peter is well suited to be the next District Attorney as an Army veteran and Harvard-trained lawyer. When he wins, he will be the first progressive and first Democratic District Attorney of Montgomery County.
Washington
Over 90% of Washington state voters will cast their votes through mail-in ballots and Progressive Majority candidates were ready! We have given strategic advice and helped candidates across the state produce mail and field voter-contact plans that have given them a leg up on their conservative opponents. Here is an example of a mail piece for Bob Kelly that is going to help put him on the Whatcom County Council. In fact, Brett Bonner, of 790 KGMI in Bellingham, said that "This is probably one of the most effective adds I've seen this campaign."
Progressive Majority isn't just concerned with winning on November 6th, 2007. We are building for the future. We have 479 Farm Team members preparing to run for office in the coming years. Flipping 21 state or local governments to progressive majorities is a good start, but we've got a long way to go. Keep on fighting - you know we will!
Sincerely,
Gloria A. TottenPresidentProgressive Majority
Is this really what we want in whatcom county? These guys are inconsistant as they are Pro growth in Colorado and Anti growth in Washington. Go figure.
The only thing that is consistant is their anti-freemarket anti-second amendment pro socialism agenda.
BY THE WAY, VOTE!!!
