Greens and Democrats working together?
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 11:01 AM by kevin_pdamerica
Finally a concept worth investing in! Take a look at the picture and the open letter below:

PDA in Solidarity with Other Progressive Leaders
PDA wants to thank Independent Progressive Politics Network (IPPN - http://www.ippn.org)for gathering a broad spectrum of progressives together in Washington, D.C. It was inspirational to see people representing different aspects of the broad progressive movement working together and finding consensus. PDA was pleased to find we shared many core values, and are excited about the upcoming Winter Campaign aimed at our common goal of working to defend our democracy. The representatives of PDA were honored and privileged to be a part of that process. We look forward to working together to push forward the common areas of our individual agendas.



Back row, from left: Kevin Spidel (PDA), Joel Segal (Rep. Conyers Staff), David Cobb (Green Presidential candidate), Alysia Fischer (PDA), Pat Lamarche (Green VP candidate). Front row, from left: Gael Murphy (Code Pink), Tim Carpenter (PDA), Medea Benjamin (Code Pink and Global Exchange).

And out of that weekend of work in solidarity, we (PDA) pushed for a Cobb testimony in the hearings and got it. The result was this open letter that humbled us: http://www.kensain.com/2004/12/open-letter.html

It is time that the progressive community work coordinated liek this on the ISSUES! It is time we truely begin to walk the talk of solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the progressive movement. I wanted to share this all with you to let it be known... it IS indeed possable!

2. This is a beautiful thing
I'm very proud of all these people especially
Medea Benjamin. I love Medea I was honored to
shake her hand at a Gathering once . She is
just a tiny woman but her passion and dedication
shows that she has enough courage to make a huge
difference in this world .
