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).

    Dallas Democrats Meetup
    7/28/2009 7:00 PM

    I hope you will join us this month! There's always lot to talk about! This month: what happened in the special session in Austin; who's running for governor and when; what we need to be doing over the summer to get ready for the long campaign session ahead; and many policy issues. Come with questions, ideas, frustrations you want air or just to listen.

    Remember, next year's elections in Texas are pivotal. Redistricting will happen in 2011 and we must take back the House in Austin! The lines drawn by Tom DeLay and friends are the reason we have such a hard time electing Democrats from our area, in spite of the fact that the county has turned blue. Come find out how you can help us win in '09.

    There is so much to talk about! Brings friends.
