[GPSCC-chat] Feingold - Progressives United

[Gerry Gras]

FYI,

I think the following may be important to the Green
Party.  I guess that many liberal Ds will join ...

=======

Russ Feingold has created the Progressives United PAC:

"Russ Feingold Launches 'Progressives United' To Combat
Corporate Influences In Politics"

"Announcing Progressives United"

Off hand, it seems that, if they truly are against
corporate influence, they should support more Greens
than Dems.  Somehow I doubt they will.  I think I
will ask about that.

I anticipate some confusion to arise from this:

- on their contribution page it says
   "Contributions or gifts to  Feingold Senate Committee
    are not tax deductible."

- there is an American Progressives United Party,
   http://www.americanprogressivesunited.org/

- there is a United Progressives Group,
