Assignment Desk - October 2005
Below is a link to a .pdf file that someone sent us as a tip.
It details the alleged links between Marc Holtzman and the "If C Wins You Lose" Campaign as well as a group calling itself Americans for Freedom and Opportunity.
It is a complicated web and takes some thinking to get what is going on, but it is quite interesting.
We here at ProgressNow haven't checked out the facts of this document, but we did want to put in out in the blogosphere so others could.
Please, look at the document and then do your own research and get back to us with it. Post your findings in the comment section below or send us and email and we'll follow up.
Also, if any of you out there can help us clarify the meaning of this tangled web that links Holtzman to various out-of-state groups and the flow of moeny from one group to another to a individual and so on, that would be helpful to everyone.
Thanks so much for your help.

Have you sent a "Yes on C&D" billboard to your friends yet?
Join the creative resistance to Grover Norquist's and John Caldara's sink-or-swim, you're-on-your-own vision for Colorado and America. Send a virtual billboard and help spread the word for YES on C&D.
And check out the billboards others have sent!
Dobson has denied in a broadcast that will air tomorrow that he received confidential information from Karl Rove to reassure him about Harriet Miers' extremist credentials.
Not good enough.
Dobson clearly indicated last week that he had inside info from Rove that he "probably shouldn't know" about Miers:
Now he's trying to tell us that that confidential information he was referring to was that others had withdrawn their names because the process had become so nasty.
If you believe that, you're probably still waiting on the WMDs to be found.
Dobson should be called to testify before the Judiciary Committe. He needs to sit in that chair, raise his right hand, and testify under oath and threat of perjury about everything Rove told him.
Sign our petition asking the Judiciary Committee to demand full disclosure from the White House about the Rove / Dobson conversation.
Not good enough.
Dobson clearly indicated last week that he had inside info from Rove that he "probably shouldn't know" about Miers:
"When you know some of the things I know - that I probably shouldn't know - that would take me in this direction - you would understand why I have said, with fear and trepidation, that I believe Harriet Miers will be a good justice."

Here's the email we just sent out to the network:
This is going to be a lot of fun and we can have a big impact for C&D. Host your own house party!
Dear Network Member,
Last week, former Lt. Governor Gail Schoettler wrote you about www.ProgressNowAction.org - an exciting new website to help get your voice heard on important issues. Now you have a chance to use this new site for the first time to speak out for Referenda C & D.
On Wednesday October 19th, Coloradans across the state will gather together at house parties and write letters to voters in support of C & D.
In just one night, working together, our small groups will have a big impact for C & D. Together, we can write thousands - perhaps even tens of thousands - of letters to Colorado voters. And we can have a great night with our friends!
Will you host a house party? It's easy, just click here and follow the simple instructions.
Colorado is our state. Its future is in our hands. Will you take just one night to make that future a better one for all of us? If we have 100 house parties, with 10 people at each party, and each of us writes just 10 short letters, we can contact 10,000 people who might not otherwise vote. That could be enough to push C & D over the top, and it will show clearly what we can all accomplish when we work together.
If you have any questions about hosting or attending a house party, please call us at 303-991-1900 or email maria@progressnowaction.org. We're here to help!
Thank you for standing with us to support Referenda C & D, and have a great house party on October 19th!
Sincerely,
Maria Handley
Outreach Director
P.S. If you can't host or attend a house party, you can still write letters at any time. Click here and follow the instructions for downloading voter names and addresses. And don't delay - it's important to get letters out to voters as quickly as possible.
This is going to be a lot of fun and we can have a big impact for C&D. Host your own house party!
For the life of me, I can't figure out why any progressive/liberal/Democrat would be anything but unhappy about Harriet Miers. She is a "fundamentalist Christian" whose views are "identical to the President on important social issues." She lobbied the ABA to change it's position from pro-choice to pro-life.
I can understand why Harry Reid would be happy. Senator Reid, after all, is a devout Mormon and is pro-life and no friend of gay and lesbian Americans. But what basis does any progressive have be anything but very, very unhappy about this nomination? If anyone knows, please share with the rest of the class.
