"Not only are the Dean campaign activists out of step with most Democrats, but they seem intent on purging the party of Democrats who disagree with them."

Who belongs to the DLC? And how does their election thinking look vs. that of progressives?
Eric Loeb, Executive Director of GoodWorks-PAC.org, will also speak. In 2004, Republican and Democratic candidates spent$1.7 billion on commercials. GoodWorks-PAC.org works with Democratic Congressional campaigns to get most of that money and effort back into our communities where it belongs. The organization foresees a day when all candidates will demonstrate their leadership skills, show us what issues they care about, and display their approach to problems by devoting much of their campaign time and money to community service projects. GoodWorks-PAC.org identifies and supports Democratic Congressional candidates who will participate in "GoodWorks" projects. JoAnne Longo was set on course for Katrina humanitarian relief in Jackson, MS, and New Orleans, St. Bernard's Parish, with Eric as her initial organizer and leader.
