As the Nation magazine's political writer John Nichols put it this week, ...the intensive Run Bernie Run--As a Democrat! campaign mounted by the group Progressive Democrats of America made the case that Sanders could run his kind of campaign in the Democratic caucuses and primaries.

We began by presenting Sen. Sanders with 10,000s petitions urging him to run at PDAs 10-year gathering a year ago--which we all remember as our founder Tim Carpenters memorial service.
We continued by handing out leaflets in Iowa, organizing rallies in L.A., and hosting house parties across the nation. We sold hats, bumper stickers, T-shirts and buttons. We built momentum by phone banking relentlessly.
For the last 12 months, PDA volunteers helped build the campaign that showed Bernie the political possibility was real. And we did most of it all by ourselves. We can be proud of our role in forcing progressive issues into the primaries. And if you are proud of PDAs work, please donate by card or check now so we can do more of it!

Last spring, Progressive Democrats of America launched its Run Bernie Run campaign and collected several thousand signatures urging Sanders to run as a Democrat. The group has organized house parties, some featuring Sanders as a speaker, and has distributed hats, bumper stickers and buttons. --USA Today, Tuesday, 4/28
If you like Bernie speaking out for you, please donate by card or check now so we can help spread the word! If money is tight, join our Win Bernie Win Team and / or our PDA Phone Team.
And thank you for all the work you did to help convince Bernie to run--and for all the great work youre going to do, now that hes in the race!
In solidarity,
Conor Boylan
PDA Executive Director
P.S. Its a very good thing that a principled progressive leader like Bernie Sanders--a real fighter for workers, the young, seniors, the environment--has decided to jump into the Democratic Presidential primary! We needed a choice. And now we have one.
We needed a proven fighter for working families, someone who will stand up against the greed heads, the Koch-heads, big money, and the massive corporations. And now we have Bernie Sanders.
We needed someone who would fight for us. And now we have Bernie, in a significant part thanks to PDAs work over the past couple of years! So if youre glad Bernies running, let us know, let PDA know--with a quick donation by card or check now.
If money is tight, join our Win Bernie Win Team and / or our PDA Phone Team.
