http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=68062Progressives Release Election-Year Issues Book; Handbook Helps Activists Discuss Conservative Failure, Push 'Common Good Agenda'
WASHINGTON, June 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- With nearly two-thirds of Americans convinced the country is headed in the wrong direction, the Campaign for America's Future today released a new handbook designed to help progressives make the case for a bold new direction in the national political debate. Key initiatives in the handbook were presented at the group's "Take Back America" conference in Washington last week that brought together more than 2,000 progressive leaders, activists and thinkers from across the country.
The Campaign for America's Future's "Straight Talk 2006" handbook provides activists and leaders with a manual to argue the positive progressive case for a new direction. The manual details the progressive argument on the economy, on security and on strategic initiatives from energy independence to health care to reclaiming our democracy. An electronic copy is available at

Campaign for America's Future co-directors Robert Borosage and Roger Hickey also released a new opinion survey conducted by Stanley Greenberg of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner that shows majorities of Americans are not only turning against the signature issues of the Bush administration -- the war in Iraq, privatization of Social Security, top-end tax cuts -- but are now questioning the basic tenets of conservative thinking -- from deregulation at home to unilateralism abroad.
