Help Progressives Win — Roundup Edition #AL #CA #FL #IA #MD #MI #NC #NJ #NH #NY #OK #PA #TX #WA

Help Progressives Win is a WEEKLY column,

posting at 9 am Pacific Standard Time each Saturday.

There are thousands of Progressive candidates running for office across America in 2016, and they need your help to win.

Please don’t forget those running for office in your city and county this coming year — those down-ballot races make a big difference in your daily life, from deciding which Traffic Engineer to hire this spring which translates into which potholes get fixed on your daily commute to work; to which Port Commissioner gets elected and has a massive amount of influence determining if a foreign corporation wins a bid to build and maintain a new Oil Terminal at the port in your town, putting the safety and health of your family and those of all your fellow residents at risk, just to line the pockets of investors on another continent!

So please step up and make some time in your busy schedule to help local candidates, who often have no resources or staff. You can find a local candidate by contacting your Local County Democratic Party. If you don’t know how to find yours, start at at the website of the DNC and their link to State Parties.

Click on your state and look for a Get Local link, like this:

The Washington State Democratic Party website at www.wa-democrats.org

It begins right at home in our towns and cities and with our own family, friends and circle of acquaintances. Far too many of our fellow citizens refuse or forget to vote regularly. They tell themselves “it just doesn’t matter if I vote, no one listens to me anyway. Besides, I HATE politics. None of those politicians know what my life is like and they don’t really care about my family or our problems.”

The following candidates for office in 2016 DO CARE and they are espousing the policies and ideas which will help those dejected non-voters. But they need your help to be successful, to reach out to the millions who just can’t be bothered to be participants in their own democracy. So please, consider helping these candidates in any of the following ways…

VOLUNTEER DONATE SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

All three of these actions are helpful to a candidate trying to reach a larger audience or promote an event or action. Candidates need money to put on events and to pay salaries for staff and to buy the signs and ads which help to spread the messages they are putting out to the prospective voters in their city, county or state.

We need to start banging the drum for this year’s Progressive candidates today in order to have enough victories this November to stave off or even undo the advancement of the conservative lunatics who inhabit the current version of what’s left of the Republican Party.

Here are this week’s PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES They need your help TODAY, to win this November

This week we’re doing a Round-Up Edition of all the candidates I’ve covered in this series to date.

Please follow the links embedded in each name back to the various stories with the full information on each candidate.

The list is alphabetical by State, not chronological.
