Help elect a progressive legislature with Progressive Majority!

This is the text of an email I just received from Progressive Majority. If you've never heard of them, they're a great organization working to build a progressive movement that gets working family friendly legislators elected around the country. You really need to read this message and respond by getting involved. Of course, Progressive Majority is a direct competitor to my organization, America in Solidarity, by I'm okay with a little competition, as long as it results in folks getting involved in the political process. Check it out, and get active. Your democracy requires it!

Have a few hours to help Washington Progressives?

People make the critical difference in politics and we need your help to achieve a Progressive Majority!

Are you willing to give a few hours to help our candidates? Making phone calls? Doorbelling? Passing out literature? We can accommodate day and evening schedules.

And, we can plug you in wherever you live - in Seattle, the peninsula, the Eastside, Spokane, Vancouver, or other communities statewide.

Why We Can't Go Back
The last time the state senate was controlled by the conservatives-

* They cut 40,000 children of state-run health care;
* They gutted the state's unemployment system;
* They passed a charter school bill; and
* They filed no fewer than 13 bills to decimate the state's minimum wage.

We must fight to protect the gains progressives have made in Washington since 2003-2004 and continue to expand our opportunities to make progress. With more progressives in office and in leadership, we can have the kind of government in Washington that reflects our values:

* Progressives will provide women birth control and the morning-after pill;
* Progressives will expand the basic health plan to cover all children;
* Progressives will develop creative solutions around health care;
* Progressives will clean-up the Puget Sound;
* Progressives will finally change the supermajority requirement on school levies – and much more!

Call us today at (206) 443-5566 or email egilliss@progressivemajority.org if you can help. We'll help get you placed where you can do the most good.
