HAD
ENOUGH?
If you're
like us, you're more than a little frustrated with most of our
Democratic Party leadership here in Illinois and in Washington.
Fortunately this is the year that
We the
People are creating new
opportunities to take back our Party, our State, and our
Country.
So please join us and other PDA supporters
from around Illinois for a Progressive Conference on June 28th.
We'll meet representatives of many other Illinois Progressive groups
to talk, learn from each other, and be inspired!
Come join us and be
a part of the movement for change.

Illinois
Progressive Democrats Conference: Learning How We Work
Together
Progressives
Democrats of America-Illinois (PDA-IL) are hosting
a conference for members
of Illinois' varied
Progressive community. We will gather to meet, discuss the
issues, and
learn how to work together to bring about
Progressive change in Illinois and the
nation,
in 2008 and beyond.
More and
Better Democrats
Since 2006, Democrats have controlled
the Congress, while in Illinois our
Party controls
both the legislature and the governor's mansion.
But, what has changed? We the People
need
Progressive reform both in Springfield and in
Washington to put
an end to the
business as usual politics of big money and
powerful special interests.
That's why the
theme of our Conference is More and Better Democrats: more to
maintain
our majorities and better to advance our Progressive
agenda. We can do
better.
Come together for a day of discussion,
planning and inspiration on how to win.
Program
(8:30 am to 4:30 pm):
-
Panel Discussion: Progressives, Democrats, November
2008 and Beyond
- Issue Breakouts: Single payer health system,
electoral skills, economic crisis,
war and occupation, campaign finance reform
-
Lessons from past campaigns
-
Working together to win electoral and policy
victories
- Toward a Progressive caucus in the Illinois
Democratic Party
