Welcome to 2010. It's a year with tremendous opportunity, but also real challenges for progressive Democrats.

The progressives we've elected will need our help to hold their seats, and our advocacy to remain truly progressive. And we need your continued commitment and effort to keep moving forward. Please renew your PDM membership today, and contribute as generously as you can.

We just finished a mailing to our members, and it was exciting to see the strong endorsements from progressive legislators we were able to include. And though it was a lot of work (and fun), it was gratifying that the number of people on our mailing list has continued to grow.

If you didn't receive the mailing, you missed:

• An invitation to our 2010 briefing on the challenges facing the Commonwealth, and a training on advocacy. Come join us on Jan. 24th.
• An invitation on our new project to provide online tutorials and videos to support www.aPebble.com, the free online grassroots organizing tool. (Yes, the one Deval Patrick's using this year.)
• Senator Pat Jehlen's note of endorsement.
• Representative Jay Kaufman's endorsement.
  
• A recap of our accomplishments in 2009.
• Our goals for 2010.

Please make a contribution today using our secure new online contribution form.
