The GOP Roadmap to Ruin

April 12th, 2011 by Beth Becker

So back to #2. Look, it’s really easy to sit back, watch what happens and then complain when it doesn’t go our way. Those of you who know me or follow my writing and adventures of the last year at all know that I get to spend a lot of my time with hill staffers. I can tell you from personal observation, not hearsay, that they get it. Our caucus members know what we want. They want it to. At the same time, they need to know that they can count on us to have their backs. So, what carrots can we offer? It doesn’t have to be money folks- of course that’s helpful, but it’s not the only thing we can offer. As for sticks, they get those thrown at them every day- that’s how we got to where we are today.

Right here right now we need to stand up loud and proud and remind the Caucus that we will have their backs, if they have ours. It takes two to tango (insert other bad cliches here).

There is one other thing you can do, and yes it is financial but doesn’t necessary go right to any particular member. The Progressive Caucus has a PAC…that PAC helps not only campaigns of incumbents but campaigns of other Progressive Candidates all over the country… so can you help them help us by helping them to elect even more progressives to congress?
