  Touching Base
I just wanted to check in and give everyone a quick update on what's going on. We are actively putting together our new Bush media project, as well as developing the new website. Additionally, I have been contacted by various groups for sponsorship or partnerships, which I am sorting through.

I have been emailed with information regarding various progressive candidates who would be interested in media help too.

It will probably take 2-3 weeks for the Bush project to be ready to roll out for review. This time will allow for the website development and working through these other projects. I think it is sensible to take advantage of the time we have right now to square things away logistically. In the past we rushed things out and sorted the paperwork and technical issues after, because the primaries and caucuses were upon us. Things such as website redesign, and structural issues were always put off, to focus on the necessary issues at the time, but now we can take a moment to address them properly.

So, I want to make sure everyone knows that things are happening, and we are still very open to suggestion. Actually, this is a good time for such, as we are actively sorting and planning full time. This was also an opportunity to send out an update, without a money ask - definitely my least favorite part.

I look forward to hearing what you are up to and your thoughts. I will keep you up to date, as things are developing and am excited to work with you on more projects soon!

Thank you for all that you do,

    Very Important Please Read: For those unaware, we cannot use terms like "Vote for ..." or "Do not Vote for..." as we are a 527. Other rules are that all contributions must come from individuals. I cannot accept any monies from corporations or organizations. I feel we are all together in that we will do whatever we can to get progressive candidates elected, as long as it does not violate Federal Election Guidelines.

    A special thanks to Joanie Benoit for starting this momentum in Washington, and for her team that put these recordings together. In early February, Joanie emailed me, having raised some funds and secured time to record an ad. 2 days later we had raised over $25,000 via blog posts and word of mouth, and we then tried to run ads in every state caucus or primary that came up. This is an incredible example of what can be done when people with a common vision each do their part, no matter what that may be. We are making history. Most 527's or PAC's I am aware of are funded by large contributions, just to circumvent the contribution limits. We are a independent grassroots organization inspired by & supporting the greatest US grassroots movement in memory.

    Thank you all for your help,
