Pick a Progressive Patriot

12/05/2005

Please take a moment and vote for Tim Walz.  It doesn’t cost you anything and will be a great
boom for Tim.  Also, ask others you know to select Tim.  This is a great way to help Tim win
the 1 CD race and retire Gil. 

Please do it today. 

Thanks,
Katherine Speer

Dear Katherine,

When I first formed the Progressive Patriots Fund, I did so for two reasons: to travel across our country to promote a progressive reform agenda and to support democratic candidates at all levels. Because of you, I’ve been able to travel to Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, California, New Hampshire, Illinois, and Minnesota. I’ve met with hundreds of activists across the country at listening sessions and political roundtables to spread our message.

Because of your help, the Progressive Patriots Fund has also been able to support candidates across the country. Now, it’s time for the grassroots to decide who we should support next. Please visit our website and help me Pick a Progressive Patriot.

Over the past few months, you’ve suggested over a hundred candidates through our candidate suggestion form. From that list, I’ve compiled a list of eleven great challengers for the House of Representatives, all of whom are in tight races that could be won or lost by only a few votes. Please vote for the candidate you would most like to see the Progressive Patriots Fund support. We’ll keep the polls open until midnight on December 14th, at which point, whichever candidate has the most votes will receive a $5000 contribution from the Progressive Patriots Fund.

It’s because of your contributions that we’re able to do events like this, and I hope to be able to do this again several times over the next year, for candidates for Senate, Governor, and Congress from every region. But I need your help. First, please vote for a candidate today. Then, ask your friends to do the same. Finally, I encourage you to make a contribution to the Progressive Patriots Fund so we can continue our work throughout the next year.

Thank you again for all your support; these are all great candidates, and I look forward to supporting more grassroots-nominated candidates in the future!

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold
United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund

p.s. Remember voting closes on December 14th, so make sure you vote today.
