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).

    GET ACTIVE: Here are some extremely important ways you can get active locally and bring change to Oklahoma and America:

    Write a Letter to the Editor
    We encourage more folks to start writing and sending letters to the editor.

    It is prudent for Democrats to spread public messaging about where we stand on issues that affect ALL Oklahomans. Oklahomans need to hear that Democrats will serve their best interest, not the "special interests."

    It is especially important to draw attention when there are discrepancies in media language and messaging that mislead folks in either the local or National races, or other areas where it causes confusion and misrepresentation.

    Letters to the Editor, even when dealing with conservative papers, will be published if they are written effectively and they can have a huge impact on the minds and opinions of the readers and our elected officials.

    Here is the DNC tool for writing letters to the editor. This tool will send the letter to appropriate selected newspapers, while allowing you to tailor your letter the way you would like. http://www.democrats.org/page/speakout/letterstoeditors
