With right-wing Republicans soon to have a majority in the House of Representatives, the Progressive Caucus will become more important. They will be the voice of people with a conscience. They will fight to uncover and to stop the worst excesses of the Republican majority, to improve bills, and to hold the powerful accountable through hearings and public appeals.
I'd like you to get to know Reps. Ellison and Grijalva, and for them to get to know you. So I've set up a webpage –
RIGHT HERE -- where you can offer a comment, an idea, a suggestion, a hope, or a prayer to these two leaders. I will hand a copy of whatever you have to say to both of them.
A few months ago, I made the same offer regarding President Obama. The ideas and advice that you sent to me, and I passed on to the President, were extraordinarily insightful.
In January, I will no longer be in Congress.
But the truth is that whatever power I have had always came from you. From people with a conscience.Reps. Ellison and Grijalva recognize that, too.
Let them hear from you.
