We are writing to you in anticipation of this weekend’s California Democratic Party Executive Board meeting at the Westin Hotel near San Francisco, where E-Board members will elect 19 California represenatatives to the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Many strong anti-occupation progressives, including members of Progressive Democrats of America, are running for DNC. If you are an Executive Board member, a proxy, or an interested grassroots activist, please visit www.progressiveslate.org to read the DNC candidates’ responses to a questionnaire written by members of the Progressive E-Board Coalition, a group co-founded by Marcy Winograd, Pres., Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles.

Read what the candidates, some of whom are incumbent DNC members, say in response to the question:

How have you challenged the House leadership’s support for war—funding?

Members of the DNC serve on committees concerning rules, bylaws and platform. The 19 elected this weekend will take seats at the 2012 Democratic Party convention, at which time a Presidential candidate will be chosen. To see a full list of all the DNC candidates running in this weekend’s election, visit www.cadem.org .

Let’s be sure to elect progressives to the DNC. Visit www.progressiveslate.org and post your comments in response to the question:

What do you look for in a DNC member?

Sincerely,

Marcy Winograd
CDP E-Board Representative, 41st AD
Pres., Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles

Tim Carpenter
National Director, Progressive Democrats of America
