I am looking for others interested in building a permanent campaign for a more effective Democratic Party, one that is active year round to educate voters and fight for them. We have barely begun to form a Progressive Democrats of America chapter here in Santa Clara County. We want to create a space where people can come and work, whether they want to work on local campaigns and candidates, or on building a real infrastructure for change and progress, one that does not shrug it's shoulders, kick out the volunteers and close the doors after every election. This will be a long haul, but the reward will be a more connected and active progressive Democratic Party. If you are interested, you can find our chapter listed as South Bay Area of San Francisco on the PDA website. 

 thanks!
