New Blue America contest: You say you want a revolution? Here’s a start
by digby
Two stalwart progressives working together:
This week Blue America is encouraging progressives to contribute to Barbara Lee’s and Lee Rogers’ campaigns by offering one randomly selected donor who gives (any amount) a rare, signed Beatles portrait by the band’s favorite photographer, Robert Freeman, who shot 5 album covers for them starting in 1963.
Today Rep. Lee announced that her Barbara Lee Progressive PAC’s top 8 priorities for congressional action starts with “Bringing an end to perpetual war, saving trillions of dollars and millions of lives.” And in conjunction with that announcement comes another– her first endorsement of a challenger for the 2014 cycle, fellow Californian and fellow peace advocate, Lee Rogers.
“Lee,” she said, “is a doctor, a thinker, a progressive Democrat– and, he can win.
He’s running in California’s 25th Congressional District (Simi Valley-Santa Clarita area). It’s an open seat. And, the Nate Silver number crunchers say that it’s a district where Democrats can win. So help us put a progressive like Lee Rogers in it.”
Like the Beatles, Barbara Lee and Lee Rogers are the best of the best. You can win a beautiful portrait signed by the photographer and support real progressive governance at the same time.
