"ALEC - Combating the Koch Brothers"

Sharon Sanders from United for Democracy Now has been tirelessly working to bring progressives together to take our country back and will speak to the group about the urgency of confronting the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Chamber of Commerce, and all the shadow groups and billionaires who prefer to privatize everything at our expense. 

She will discuss how it is critical that we work at all levels, and on all issues, like voter suppression, local elections, the environment, healthcare, charter schools, and on and on and where and how the moves by the Koch brothers and their supporters are the powerful forces behind these issues.

"They" said we couldn't do it. We proved them wrong! This campaign has always been "We the People" vs. "They the Establishment." By backing Bernie, we are standing up to the powerful special interest elite and others who oppose progress. It's not just about Bernie. It's about all of us, working together for the political revolution we need. Please support Progressive Democrats of America (PDA)'s efforts to help Bernie win the nomination and the presidency. Today, the Bernie movement apparently closed the gap from than 54% to less than 5%. Of course we'd have preferred a win, but this was a moral victory.
