Friends,

As you probably know, *Fox News is targeting & attacking progressive
institutions* as a way to damage the Obama/Progressive agenda, *our agenda*.
In this fight we progressives must stick together, as we are much more
powerful as a coalition of organizations than a collection of individuals.
*
FoxNews is currently targeting ProgressNow, and* *we are giving it right
back to them*! We could use some help from our friends & allies.

   - Mike Huttner is doing a book event in DC on Wednesday 10/7 for *50 Ways
   You Can Help Obama Change
America*<http://www.50waysyoucanhelpobama.com/>-if you would be
willing to promote and/or co-host or simply lend your name
   to-- Huttner’s Washington, DC event at Busboys & Poets, 5th & K, set for
   Wednesday Oct 7, 6:30pm., please let you know offline<[email-masked]

   - *ProgressMichigan* <http://progressmichigan.org/> did a fantastic job
   on Tuesday with a press release, launching a petition to the Chamber (that
   got over 1,500 signatures in less than 24 hours) and organizing over 250
   people to show out to protest Glen Beck's appearance. Additionally,
   ProgressMichigan just uploaded a
*video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LebMOAvq6V4>
   * that not-so-discretely mocks the 912ers and replicates the Billionaires
   for Wealthcare that was wisely employed in DC on 9/12. If you could please
   help push out that video...

   - *FUSEwashington* <http://www.fusewashington.org/> (the ProgressNow
   state partner in WA) is planning similar activities on *Saturday
9/26*around the presentation of the Key to the City of Mt. Vernon, WA
FUSE has
   launched a *petition
<https://secure.fusewashington.org/page/s/Beck>*that already has
almost 11,000 signatures (with over 500 coming directly
   from Skagit County, where Mount Vernon is), and the list keeps growing. If
   you can help promote the protest on 9/26, please contact our friend Erik
   Magnuson <[email-masked]> regarding direct field support or
   myself for national support.

If you have not already, please check out today's *WaPo story - Book Wars:

attacking
*50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change
America*<http://www.50waysyoucanhelpobama.com/>... This is just a
sample of the attacks on ProgressNow thusfar, and there
is certainly more to come.

We fight, because that's what we do... and we fight together!*

Best,
Aniello
