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).

    Lancaster Co. PA Focus

    In the interest of defeating Republican Pitts (co-author of the Stupak-Pitts anti-choice amendment to the Healthcare bill) I am focusing on Lancaster County, PA. Here are some groups and organizations in the PA-16 district. Get involved with your local group to push for real change in Lancaster County, PA. At the bottom I also include biodiesel stations in Lancaster County for those with diesel engines who want to improve their impact on the environment.


    Democracy for Lancaster: The local Democracy for America group

    We are an organization dedicated to the promotion of progressive values and principles that empower everyone, with discrimination towards none, to attain the quality of life and happiness envisioned, embodied, and ensured by the Constitution of the United States of America. We are:
    1. Committed to a strong, sustained grassroots involvement in the political process.
    2. Committed to promoting an America where candidates speak the truth about policy choices and stand up for what they believe.
    3. Committed to working for progressive policies, like health investment in children, equal rights under the law, fiscal responsibility, and a national security policy that will make America stronger by advancing progressive values.
