Keystone Progress Unveiled
He's just unveiled Keystone Progress, "a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization that combines cutting edge online organizing and communications with rapid and hard-hitting earned media strategies. Year round, Keystone Progress will work to engage citizens from across the state around issues of immediate state or local concern."
Morrill plans to blend new and old media, but even more ambitiously, he wants to unite progressive groups that really talk to each other. He told PolitckerPA, "The goal is stop fighting so much so we can utilize all our resources, especially in the communications realm."
Well, good luck with that, Mike.
He's identified four current campaigns: (1) PA’s Bush War Tax; (2) Don’t Privatize the PA Turnpike; (3) Support the Paper Ballot Based Voting System Reimbursement Bill; and (4) Support Comprehensive Healthcare Reform.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I worked for his Governors Campaign. And had both my parents back him as well.
ReplyDeleteHe wanted a $11 a hour Living Wage over six years ago.
In light of the current economy that would have been a good thing.
And considering I was interested in the Greens due to Nader (and the jealousy toward him from "Greens" ) I became more Independent.
I only ever became a Democrat to vote in the Mayoral primaries in Easton, and for President this year.
Morrill is a great Progressive mind and we in the Keystone should be glad he calls PA home!
