If you vote in this online
poll, $5000 will come to a Texas candidate and be spent turning out Texans
against the "evil empire." Read on to find out how. Take 30 seconds to
vote!

Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin has established the Progressive
Patriot Fund (PPF), a PAC devoted to promoting a progressive agenda and
supporting progressive candidates. href="http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com"

It may come as a shock to
folks elsewhere, but we do actually have progressives in Texas!

Eleven
candidates from around the country have been nominated as PPF's first
Progressive Patriot, including John Courage (Congressional District 21) and Nick
Lampson (Congressional District 22). We invited both candidates to submit a
statement to be included in this email. The statement from the Courage campaign
is below. We did not receive a response from the Lampson campaign. You may vote
for your choice here:
