JOIN PROGRESSIVE NEIGHBORS NOW AND GET A VOICE IN OUR FALL 2010 ENDORSEMENTS

Progressive Neighbors is beginning its work on making endorsements for the fall 2010 elections and we want you to be a part of the process by joining our organization.  When you join Progressive Neighbors you will have a say in the questions that appear on our candidates questionnaire and you will get a vote on which candidates we endorse and work for.  And it's only $10 – see form below.

Our first step is to finalize the questions we will be sending out to candidates for county, state, and national office. The steering committee's draft questions appear on this website.  We invite you to review them and send back your comments/concerns so we can consider them at our next steering committee meeting.  Also, our main focus for endorsements is Districts 18, 19 and 20. If you want Progressive Neighbors to consider specific races in other Districts, please let us know. (Comments should be emailed to Luis Zapata at PN4Change@gmail.com by Monday June 21.)

Members are also invited to attend our steering committee meeting on Tuesday evening June 29th (details below) at which time we will approve the questions for candidates.  After we receive the questionnaires back from candidates, the steering committee will make recommendations on which candidates to endorse which will then be submitted to the membership for approval.

We look forward to working with our current and now members as we create a stronger progressive voice in the 2010 elections and beyond.  If you're a progressive, why not join Progressive Neighbors now?

JOIN PROGRESSIVE NEIGHBORS

We are an independent, grassroots organization that promotes progressive politics and candidates in Montgomery County and Annapolis. We started 4 years ago and played an important role in the 2006 elections. We helped elect Jamie Raskin and Marc Elrich, among others, by distributing a very effective “Voter Guide for Progressives” at over 35 polling places in the County on Primary and Election Days.

We also work on such issues as campaign finance reform, progressive taxation, transparency in government, and affordable rental housing.

By joining Progressive Neighbors, you get a vote on who the organization will endorse in 2010.

It's only $10 to join (more if you want to make a contribution). Checks with the form below should be sent to:
