This is really gonna be tough. Where are they gonna find Democrats without a felony.
Independent group, yeah that's the ticket.
Well, that's nice. But, what will the little darlings do to while away the hours now?
I believe him, I believe him. Not.
Or at least they will stop talking about it.
Our Founders
Grassroots and political leaders who share a vision of a progressive America and are committed to help defeat George W. Bush, elect progressives up and down the ticket, and mobilize millions of people to register and vote around the critical issues facing our country started America Coming Together (ACT).
Ellen R. Malcolm, President of ACT, is the founder and president of EMILY’s List – a political action committee that supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates. Under her leadership, EMILY’s List – an acronym for “Early Money is Like Yeast” because it “makes the dough rise” – has grown to be the largest political action committee in the country. Since its founding, EMILY’s List has help send 11 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. Senate, 55 to the U.S. House of Representatives, and to elect seven governors. Malcolm will lead the effort to build ACT’s membership and raise $95 million to support ACT’s voter contact program.
Steve Rosenthal , Chief Executive Officer of ACT, was Political Director of the AFL-CIO from 1996-2002, where he developed a groundbreaking voter contact program that increased voter turnout of union members by 4.8 million during a time when nonunion turnout decreased by 15 million. During the first three years of the Clinton Administration, Rosenthal served as Associate Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor where he acted as former-Secretary Robert Reich’s chief advisor on union matters. Before that he was Deputy Political Director for the Democratic National Committee under Chairman Ron Brown and Political Director Paul Tully. Rosenthal will design and execute ACT’s voter contact program.
Minyon Moore heads Dewey Square’s state and local practice. She was formerly Chief Operations Officer of the Democratic National Committee and before that Assistant to the President of the United States and Director of White House Political Affairs.
Gina Glantz has a distinguished 30-year career in campaigns and grassroots organizing. She was National Campaign Manager for the Bill Bradley for President campaign.
Carl Pope, Treasurer, is Executive Director of the Sierra Club, an organization of 700,000 environmental activists. Pope has spent 30 years in the environmental trenches, and worked to enact such statutes as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, the Superfund and California Desert Protection Act.
Cecile Richards is President of America Votes, a coalition of almost 30 national organizations working together to educate and mobilize voters in the 2004 elections on a broad range of issues including the environment, civil and human rights, women’s rights, choice, education and labor.
Looks like the felon-hiring idea would have been Rosenthal's (according to the above description). Mr. Former AFL-CIO probably knows a little bit about arm-twisting and strong-arming.
I've been interviewed by these people!!!! For Pete's sake!!
