John,
Nice to see you during the Convention. What a week. Thought your panel
with T. Boone and Carl was a hit.
We are working like crazy to hold McCain accountable and are hoping you
might know a donor or two who will consider an additional request this year.
Below are the updated 2008 fundraising needs and the latest from each state.
I've also attached an updated one page overview.
Ted and I would be most appreciative of your help.
Thank you in advance.
Mike

When Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger used the California budget crisis to
slash the wages of nearly 200,000 state workers to the federal minimum wage
of $6.55 per hour, the Courage <http://www.couragecampaign.org/> Campaign
led a petition campaign -- joined by True Majority and CREDO Mobile -- that
delivered 28,016 petition signatures to Arnold's office. The Courage
Campaign worked with SEIU 1000 (the local that represents state workers) and
state representative David Jones to deliver the petitions and build earned
media. Courage distributed two video shorts showing the irony of the
governor's <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoMGttilPag> lifestyle as well
as interviews <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0FUQzzFcRA> with SEIU
members facing the cuts. The Courage Campaign then held a statewide
<http://www.couragecampaign.org/action/175/listen-to-the-chiang-solis-and-wa
lker-call> conference call with Controller Chiang, Rep. Hilda Solis,
Working Assets CEO Michael Kieschnick and SEIU 1000 President Yvonne Walker
and aired a member-funded TV ad <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j-8zc-HrpE>
featuring State Controller John Chiang, who heroically refused to to carry
out the Governor's Executive Order. As a result of Controller Chiang's
action, enthusiastically supported by Courage Campaign members, the Governor
was forced to delay any wage cuts until November at the earliest, pending a
budget compromise.

ProgressNow, along with DailyKos and the Alliance for a Sustainable
Colorado, hosted the first-ever new media lounge at any national convention
-- the "Big Tent" during the Democratic Convention in Denver. Each day we
hosted over 500 bloggers and new media journalists, with free wi-fi, free
meals, free beer, and coverage of the convention from the opening gavel to
close. The Big Tent became one of the most talked-about events of the
convention in Denver, with hundreds of traditional media and elected
officials dropping by to check out the new media lounge and meet with the
bloggers. The Big Tent also featured breakout discussions on critical
national issues sponsored by organizations like the Green for All, Sierra
Club, US Action, Campaign for America's Future, Center for American
Progress, Voto Latino, Color of Change, Planned Parenthood, and Moveon.org.
We had coverage from the mainstream media worldwide, and earlier this week
the Smithsonian along with the Newseum in DC have asked that we provide them
materials about the Big Tent for their archives. Now that the 8000 square
foot Big Tent has finally been disasembled, we are back to our primary focus
of holding McCain and Schaffer accountable in the final strech.

In recent weeks, Progress Florida has placed two op-eds critical of Sen.
McCain in two prominent Florida newspapers, organized a very successful
press event in front of the Republican Party of Florida headquarters taking
Sen. McCain to task for his anti-working families track record and launched
MillionaireMcCain.com <http://www.millionairemccain.com/> .
The first op-ed, titled
<http://www.tallahassee.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080829/OPINION05/80
8290314/1006/OPINION> "McCain deserts veterans on voting rights, benefits"
ran in the Tallahassee Democrat and the second, "Nuclear Bull's-Eye Is On
Our Back", was published in the Tampa Tribune.
The Progress Florida orchestrated press event Florida Republican Party
headquarters in Tallahassee (the day before a high profile visit by McCain,)
was a big success. Representatives from Florida AFL-CIO and Florida
Alliance for Retired Americans made presentations on why Sen. McCain is out
of touch with Florida's working families. Press in attendance included, 3
statewide TV news networks that provide news stories for more than 20 local
news stations across the state, Clear Channel radio, Florida Public Radio,
the Tampa Tribune and St. Petersburg Times.
http://media.progressnowaction.org/report/image006.gif
Progress Michigan has lead the counterpoint to McCain visits to Michigan and
helped American Votes partners message effectively about the McCain record.
Immediately after the Republican National Convention, McCain came to
Michigan and was welcomed by Progress Michigan and a throng of protesters
under an "Outsource McCain, Not Michigan Jobs" banner. Press coverage was
strong including stories in the AP and Detroit Free Press. A Companion
website was launched at: www.progressmichigan.org/page/s/outsourcemccain.
In response to the Palin and Giuliani attack on organizers, Progress
Michigan launched: www.progressmichigan.org/mccainpalinapology/ Previously
Progress Michigan led efforts countering McCain in Monroe, Rochester, and
Farmington Hills with the anti-outsourcing message and received strong play
on regional TV, radio and print media. We have also helped the AFL-CIO,
Planned Parenthood, and Acorn prepare individual press events on the McCain
record.

Alliance for a Better Minnesota teamed up with the Center for Independent
Media and The UpTake citizen journalist team during the RNC in Saint Paul
last week. In addition to providing bloggers with space, food and
accomodations during their time in Minnesota, ABM hosted a series of expert
panels on key issues surrounding conservative policies. Participants
included: Common Cause, Sierra Club, Health Care for America Now, Minnesota
2020, The Blue Green Alliance, National Wildlife Federation, Alaska Wildlife
League, League of Conservation Voters, The Bush Legacy Bus, Campaign for
America's Future and New York Times Bestselling author Rick Perlstein.

Granite State Progress - Led effort to keep tax cap ballot initiative off
November ballots
A conservative front group in New Hampshire aggressively pushed a tax cap
ballot initiative targeted at six of the ten largest communities in New
Hampshire - communities representing 20% of the statewide vote and 21% of
the persuasion share. The deep-pocketed ideologues behind it intended to use
the tax cap to turn out Republican-friendly voters during the November
elections, and had already pre-purchased $140,000 worth of television air
time for late October. Granite State Progress took a leading role on
challenging the initiative, and provided political cover for others as the
on-the-record opposition. After phone calls, media outreach and midnight
chamber sessions, the tax cap will now only appear on the ballot in two
towns this year, allowing resources and voter education to be directed to
more important items.

ClearlyNewMexico.com blogged live from both the DNC and RNC conventions and
just completed a fun post comparing Sarah Palin to some New Mexico
small-town mayors:

Tracy Dingmann, an 18-year veteran of the Albuquerque Journal, joins
ClearlyNewMexico.com as our new Director of New Media. She has created the
T-Files, showcasing weekly interviews with ordinary New Mexicans, describing
the impact of federal policies on New Mexican veterans, teachers, small
business owners and the like:
http://clearlynewmexico.com/page/content/t-files, and then making these
ordinary New Mexicans available to other media sources for stories.
http://media.progressnowaction.org/report/image008.gif
At the Democratic National Convention ProgressOhio used new technology that
allowed use of cellphone video live on <http://qik.com/ProgressOhio> the
internet which ProgressOhio could then pull down and blog or email. You can
see our series here. The effort was successful enough to deserve a
<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/27/us/politics/27web-seelye.html> special
mention in DNC technology coverage by the New York Times.
ProgressOhio's e-list has grown to just shy of 360,000 members and the
ProgressOhio website is expanding rapidly with just shy of one-half million
visitors in the first six months of 2008.
Our research continues to help break local and national stories including a
blog-piece as part of PO's
<http://www.progressohio.org/page/community/post/daveharding/CHRJ> "War on
Women" series that pointed out that Wasilla, Alaska under a young Mayor
named Sarah Palin made sex crime victims pay out of pocket for DNA tests.
The article spread virally on blogs and in national articles.

Pennsylvania: Keystone Progress has grown rapidly in its first few weeks.
We now have over 27,000 on our rolls, with hundreds joining every week. We
have generated dozens of news stories for ourselves and our partners, and
hundreds of blog articles. KP has written and distributed news releases for
the Sierra Club, Alliance for Retired Americans, ACORN, Planned Parenthood
and SEIU, and has organized visibility event outside of McCain events in
York, Lancaster and Washington, Pennsylvania.

Washington State: Fuse is developing a progressive voters guide that covers
the full ballot --- ballot measures and candidates down through the State
Legislature. It compiles all the progressive political organizations'
endorsements into a collective product, and is customized for recipients'
districts. Almost every significant progressive c4 in the state will send
this web and email-based sample ballot to their list, generating a
distribution to 200,000-300,000 voters. Many c(3) organizations will
distribute another version that includes only ballot measures.
Fuse is now launching a substantial field mobilization program generating
volunteer phone-calling and doorbelling for targeted races, and is also
undertaking a major earned media campaign targeting the Governor's race.
http://media.progressnowaction.org/report/own.gif
One Wisconsin Now has organized progressive organizations to do issue-based
counter events, press releases and online actions every time John McCain
comes to town and generated coverage on television, radio, print and blogs
across Wisconsin. OWN created and helps lead a "Stamporee," where an actor
in a John McCain mask uses a five-foot-high rubber stamp to put "McSame" on
the Bush agenda - to the delight of a Bush-masked actor. This week, OWN is
launching www.McCainandUnable.com <http://www.mccainandunable.com/> , that
talks about the follies of John McCain and George W. Bush, as they
experience in comic book style what real people face when the go to the gas
station, buy food and numerous other episodes to be released on a weekly
basis.
