New Greater Chicago area progressive group

[eridani]

Greetings,

It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to be in touch with you, so let me say, first, how grateful I am for your past support. We gave voice to important issues and brought new energy and new ideas to an old and tired political system. That’s the reason for this letter: to tell you about the Greater Chicago Caucus, a non-partisan Political Action Committee, and to ask for your support.

The Greater Chicago Caucus has emerged from the desire of many different minority groups, including those of us who are committed to peace and justice issues, to band together to form a political alliance. As separate groups, we have limited political impact. United, we will have the strength to accomplish our goals.

We realize the crucial importance of being involved in electoral politics. Our focus will be on local, state, and federal campaigns in the suburbs and Chicago . I am excited to work with these powerful community leaders who have committed to make the Greater Chicago Caucus their priority. Through these leaders we have unprecedented access to multiple media outlets. We are all concerned about the Iraq war, the Patriot Act, affordable housing, living wages, affordable health care, and solid educational opportunities for our children.

I’m writing to you because I know you care about economic justice for everyone, a sustainable peace for our world, and creating a better country to leave to the next generation. I am asking you today to become a founding member of the Greater Chicago Caucus. As we discovered in my campaign, we can achieve great things when we all work together. This is a new and wonderfully promising way to continue that effort.

Sincerely,
