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).

    We are calling voters all day, everyday to tell them about Bill White. Even if you can volunteer for an hour a week, your effort can make a difference. Come by the office anytime or schedule a shift by emailing volunteeraustin@billwhitefortexas.com or giving us a call at 512-810-6790.

    Join volunteers every Saturday as we register new progressive, Democratic voters looking for change in Texas! We’re targeting high-traffic areas across Austin, as well as neighborhoods with traditionally low rates of registration. We’re also working to make sure our voters update their registrations before the October 4th deadline. Join us every Saturday at Coordinated Campaign Headquarters! Deputization is available every week on Saturday at 9:00 a.m., and training and materials will be provided for every shift. Together, we can register enough voters to change the electorate in Texas, and change who wins this November!
