Unite for a Progressive President

Published: Dec 3, 2007 2:20 PM

We have one month left before the first votes are cast.

Right now, the polls show a dead heat in Iowa between Senators Clinton, Edwards, and Obama.

This is our time to impact the Democratic nomination. DFA members excel at taking close races over the top. We will lead the way in calling on Iowans to Unite for a Progressive President.

Sign the nationwide call to action right now:

The Iowa caucus isn't a typical election. There are no secret ballots. People state their candidate preferences and then are given multiple chances to switch based on the viability of their chosen candidate and conversations that occur in the caucus room. This allows for the unique opportunity for Iowa voters to Unite for a Progressive President before the end of the night rather then split the progressive vote between one or more candidates.

Last month over 154,000 of you voted in the largest primary poll of 2008. The poll made clear two striking facts: A 78% consensus for the top three progressive candidates of Edwards, Kucinich, and Obama¹. And 95% of DFA members voted for someone other than the media's frontrunner.

The message is clear. Unite for a Progressive President who will embrace grassroots engagement, not the beltway establishment. Unite for a Progressive President with the backbone to fight for change, not the same poll driven status quo.

Unite for a Progressive President who proudly stands with the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.

Let's show Iowa Democrats that tens of thousands of progressives are ready to follow their lead:
