The idea worked, and today NCEC is a vital force in American Politics. NCEC supports progressive candidates who fight for the issues we believe in, like freedom of choice, separation of church and state, , equal rights, and environmental protection. Some names, like you may already know and support. But many NCEC candidates run campaigns with tight budgets and need every bit of help they can get to beat the Religious Right- dominated Republican Party. They need our help. And to give it, we need yours. |
