PDA Staff Report
December 20th, 2005
The Inside/Outside Update is a PDA staff report to our supporters. We will send this every Tuesday. We want to make sure our grassroots supporters know what we, at the staff level, are doing each week. If you find this information useful, please consider making a small donation.
"Where are the Democrats?" I hear that question from friends all across the political panorama. Sometimes sadly, sometimes in anger, people ask me: What happened to the party of the regular people? Where is the opposition, the backbone, the guts? The terms and tones differ, but the question keeps coming up.
At a press event in the House Cannon Office Building, Friday, December 16th, Democratic House and Senate leaders and key legislators answered the question - or at least started to - by giving full-voiced support to bedrock Progressive Democratic American principles. Our principles. http://pdamerica.org/articles/news/hill-dems-support.php
We are joining with Backbone Campaign, Progressive Democrats of America, After Downing Street, Democracy Cell Project, Cities for Peace, MilitaryFreeZone.Org, Operation Ceasefire, United for Peace and Justice, U.S. Tour of Duty, Hip Hop Caucus, Democracy Rising, World Can't Wait, and Gold Star Families for Peace in asking you to help organize public meetings or smaller gatherings on Saturday, January 7, on the topic of ending the war. The war is costing us dearly in lives, in security, and in resources. We need this national day to make our demand heard and bring the war to an end. (Events can also be held on days other than the 7th, to fit the schedules of those involved.) Because the holidays are coming, the time to organize these events is now. http://blog.pdamerica.org/?p=437
