Progressive Democrats Of America

Postby CHUQ on Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:08 am

Not really a political party but a force within the DNC.



Progressive Democrats of America was founded in 2004 to transform the Democratic Party and our country. We seek to build a party and government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites -- with policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private interests. As a grassroots PAC operating inside the Democratic Party, and outside in movements for peace and justice, PDA played a key role in the stunning electoral victory of November 2006. Our inside/outside strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles.

For over two decades, the party declined as its leadership listened more to the voices of Wall Street than those of Main Street. PDA strives to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up – from every Congressional District to statewide party structures to the corridors of power in Washington, where we work arm in arm with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In just a couple of years, PDA and its allies have shaken up the political status quo – on issues from the Iraq war to voter rights to economic justice.

Well, I didn't see anything about them that would draw me to their ideology. I noticed Cindy Sheenan was one of the founders or directors which tells me a little about their objectives.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

It's impossible to be an effective leader of a country when everyone thinks you are stupid.
