PDA-South Carolina

Dear Fellow Democrats:
 
Robert Dobbs, candidate for Congress from South Carolina's First district, has been clear on his stance on ending the unnecessary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, other candidates for the First Congressional seat are for continuing a policy of draining the American economy fighting two no win wars. As Robert Dobbs pointed out in a recent debate that the TRILLIONS could be better spent at home on UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, GREEN JOB CREATION and EDUCATION. Does South Carolina need to elect a Congressman that promises  more of the same? It's about time we elect a true Progressive!  Support Robert Dobbs for the Democratic Nomination for Congressional District 1. Go to :  http://www.electdobbs.com/. The Democratic Party needs Robert! South Carolina needs Robert! America needs Robert! Let's send a true Progressive to Congress, not just more of the same!

Congrats to the following PDA Members

NOVEMBER BROWN BAG VIGIL

North Charleston, SC. PDA members from the Charleston Progressive Democrats and the Dorchester Progressive democrats held a Brown Bag vigil in front of the offices of Congressman Henry Brown (R-SC) on November 18th. The purpose of the vigil was to lobby for Healthcare not Warfare. Particpants held signs that stated "Healthcare not Warfare", "Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home", "US Out of Afghanistan and Iraq" and "Universal Healthcare not Universal Warfare". The protest/vigil was held in front of the Bank of America building in North Charleston where Congressman Brown has his District office. At one point a sympathetic police officer came and asked that the protest be moved to the sidewalk instead of the bank property. Many sympathetic remarks were made by passerbys on their way into the building. Many stopped and talked with the protestors and one even took a picture. When the protest was over participants went into Congressman Brown's office and spoke to his aide about our stance on universal healthcare and the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Congressman Brown is on the record as supporting the wars and opposing any healthcare reform. Congressman Brown is one of the most conservative members of Congress and represents South Carolina's 1st Congressional District. We told his aide that we were all his constituents and wanted to make our view heard. Congressman Brown is not only facing a strong primary opponent but is opposed by Robert Dobbs, a Democrat and progressive, from North Myrtle Beach, SC.

Progressive Thought for Today

8 February 2010

Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning......Be compassionate, and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be so much better a place.
