Progressives attacking Conservative stronghold

With state legislatures convening right now, the Progressive States Network is working overtime in a number of areas and on a number of issues. Last week, with the help of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), we launched the 50-State Anti-Escalation Campaign against President Bush's "surge" plan in Iraq. The campaign is moving forward quickly, as thousands of you have used Progressive States' web tool to contact your state legislators demanding they introduce state resolutions urging Congress to take immediate action to stop the escalation (update later this week on states moving bills). Now today, Progressive States has two major op-eds in key states about other critical issues state legislators are facing.
