Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Progressive Democrat Issue 48: CRITICAL NEW JERSEY FOCUS

    Fighting for New Jersey, for Democracy and for America:

    The elections are around the corner. New Jersey is one of the key states for 2005 and it isn’t just Kaine for Governor. Kaine’s campaign is an important part of the Democratic 50-state strategy to save American democracy, but there is much to be done at the local level.

    Keep in mind, elections are won at the local level. Voter turnout is determined on the local level. The fate of state legislatures are determined on the local level. So what is going on locally in New Jeresy?

    Here are some races I want to highlight. Donations and volunteer hours are CRUCIAL at this time to win these races. Winning these races will help Corzine win NJ. They will also help set the Democratic Party up for future wins in 2006. So your effort for these local races can help shift the balance in this nation away from the corrupt, dictatorial, anti-civil rights Republicans to the more honest, more grassroots, more freedom-loving Democratic party.

    The other thing I want to emphasize is that Progressives are going to bat for certain candidates. The credibility of the Progressives in NJ and the credibility of you and me depend on the left effectively helping candidates to victory. These are the fights that progressives groups like Democracy for America have chosen to fight. Victory in these fights are particularly important for the credibility and the future effectiveness of the Progressive movement. A small donation or a donation of a few hours of time could help establish the credibility of the Progressive grassroots in New Jersey. THAT is what I am asking you to do.
