Russ Feingold is requesting our help in setting strategy.

from my email...


Scuba,

We need your input.

The Supreme Court just upheld Citizens United, and despite more than 360,000 signatures from Americans just as concerned as you, Congress failed to pass the DISCLOSE Act. These fights were important, and they're helping to build momentum for change.

But we need a strategy to move forward. And while the secret-money forces hold top-secret strategy sessions with their biggest backers, we recently held an open strategy session in Milwaukee with four of our grassroots progressives. We need you to join them and provide your input.

So now we're opening up the discussion even further.

Watch the video of our recent progressive strategy session in Milwaukee and vote on the ideas -- or submit your own idea for other progressives to vote on:




I founded Progressives United to get progressives like you involved in the nationwide fight against corporate influence in our government and our elections -- because the best way to fight back against big corporations that are narrowing the range of who gets to have a say in our democracy is to broaden the range of people speaking out!

That means we're not entrusting our strategy to a narrow group of mega-donors -- we're entrusting it to you.

See some of the ideas your fellow progressives came up with at our recent strategy session and vote on your favorite -- or suggest your own!

As one of the strongest supporters of Progressives United, we need your help to plot our course for the rest of this year.

Thank you for uniting as a progressive,



Russ Feingold
Founder
Progressives United

P.S. Some great ideas emerged during our strategy session -- like Albert's idea to build change from the ground up by influencing your city council. Vote on Albert's idea or any of the others, or propose your own, now!
