(62,325 posts)they are not being paid enough. Here's how I look at where I spend money from now on. What are they doing to advance Progressive causes? If I donate to the DNC, I am told 'your ideas are retarded' and candidates I want the money to go to, eg, Buono in NJ, are tossed aside and the Dem Party endorses the REPUBLICAN. Any idea how much money our corporate backed Congresspeople get, after the are finished serving the Corporations they really work for? PCCC is NOT destroying the Public Schools, they are NOT pushing cuts to SS, they are NOT supporting drone wars, voting for cuts to food stamps for the most vulnerable people.
I am very happy to donate to those who are doing what Progressive Dems want them to do, and the very fact that they ARE now earning some money demonstrates how disillusioned Democrats are in general. Because we know there is no 'bi-partisanship' in PCCC. No 'compromise with the far right'.
Things are changing here. I can see why PCCC is a threat to the Corporate interests that have controlled things UP TO NOW. They had Bush to help them. But it's been five years now and we who supported them with loads of money (where did it go, to Third Way Candidates OVER progressive candidates every time) have found a more effective way to spend our money.
I love that it is pissing off all the 'right' people that PCCC has managed to do what they've been doing for all this time, take away some of that money they used to screw Democratic voters with.
And PCCC is not the ONLY Progressive Democratic organization that is now attracting more and more Democrats to get the kind of candidates WE WANT. This is what we need. This is how we will 'change' the party.
Thanks for reminding to donate some money to them.
