Imagine life with a progressive income tax system, a $16.70 an hour minimum wage, paid sick days, universal pre-k, and legalized marijuana. Help elect Heather Mizeur to make it happen.

Steve Israel is an incompetent moron, and Pete Aguilar is a perfect recruit for him. This duo really is good at bad jokes. However, this race is not a joke. It is the top seat ready to flip to a Democrat and a strong progressive (small business owner) Eloise Reyes is giving Republican Funded Loser non-elected Mayor Pete Aguilar a run for his money. Already, she is raising significant funds, from PROGRESSIVES and community members, while young, desperate Pete needs to keep going to gun loving, gay hating, Republicans for help... Let's pitch in to match the thousands Aguilar is getting from corrupt elites by donating $20 to Eloise at the Blue America ActBlue page: https://secure.actblue.com/page/blueamerica14

Eloise Reyes' race is about more than providing another career politician with the next step on his professional ladder. It’s about making life better for people who desperately need a voice in Congress.

Last week, MoveOn and PPP polled some of the swing districts where the DCCC protects Republican incumbents. The results were breathtaking, especially for media folks who only get their information from Cook and the DCCC. Blue America candidates are on target to beat long-time Republican incumbents and one of the strongest showings was from first-time candidate, Paul Clements, who's running against Fred Upton in western Michigan.

It's time to start thinking about electing a leader of the House Democrats who is NOT a conservative and who is not a pillar of institutionalized Beltway corruption.

Letter from Rush Holt, the NON-Wall Street shill that's running for the seat Frank Lautenberg is giving up in the Senate. Blue America has endorsed him-- read on to find out why.

If you follow Blue America faithfully, you already know that SOME "asks" are worth giving too, a LOT of them aren't. This one is by definition certainly the former! Why? Because "Alan Grayson!"

Keith Ellison has been an extraordinary Blue America success story from day one. If there was a majority of his ilk in Congress, we truly would be able to "Save the World." Let's show him we have his back. Please give if you can. Thank you!

All Blue America-endorsed candidates support Sen. Warren's way of dealing with this problem and all of them would like to get into Congress and make sure her proposal eventually passes. That's where you come in. They need your help to get into Congress. We know the DCCC won't help independent-minded progressive get elected (Thanks, Steve Israel!) That's why we ask for you to give what you can, even if it's just a little; it all adds up!
