Iowa Progressives Work The Internets

We know there are many, many strong candidates for public office at all levels in Iowa, so we don’t want our humble blog to focus too much on one particular candidate. That said, here at IowaProgress we’re really big fans of Eric Palmer, the next representative from Iowa House District 75 (which contains Grinnell, Oskaloosa, and Montezuma). Rumor has it that Eric’s web site is now live, so check it out and link to it. How many other candidates for Iowa House do you think have blogs, anyways?
And you can donate to Eric, Chet Culver, and a host of other progressive Iowa candidates on our new ActBlue page, “Making Progress In Iowa.” If you’re from out of state and are looking for the places where your money will make the most difference, check out our list and start donating. And if you’re a candidate who you think we might’ve forgotten about, send us an email telling us about yourself.
We want this ActBlue list to become a project for the whole blogosphere, so if you put up a link to http://www.actblue.com/page/iowa on your blog, let us know and you’ll have input on who gets listed on the page in the future. If we collaborate enough, we’ll be able to bring in real money for good candidates in our state.

Geraldine, I just thought that I’d let you know that I also have an ActBlue page which you can find here. Hopefully we’ll both be able to garner some good contributions as the general election season begins. However, with your focus on electing a lot of Iowa Progressives, we should definitely collaborate to some extent so that we can pick consensus folks who need our support while places like my site can emphasize support for a particular few candidates each week. Drop me an email or get in touch with me via the Contact form on my blog and we can set something up or work together.

Now a death penalty candidate is progressive? He’s a democrat but he’s not progressive.

Hey factchecker,
Do the words “big tent” mean anything to you?
Let’s not play police. It’s so, well, unprogressive.

Don’t forget - your local Republican legislator is pro-death penalty and anti-choice:
