The Progress of Progressive Dane

The Madison Times visited PD's general membership meeting on December 15th 2004 and wrote an article describing the fun, serious business, and strategizing at the meeting. Read the full article here, highlights are below:

For more than a dozen years, Progressive Dane (PD) has been a powerful force for political change in Madison. Its consistent wins against Democrat and Republican challengers alike and its organized efforts in many areas of public life make PD Madison's own third-party success story. The Madison Times recently attended a general membership meeting to learn more about the operations of this unique political force in our city.

The meeting began casually. All participants were invited to introduce themselves and to answer the question "What gift would you like Santa to bring which politician?" Given the crowd, the answers inevitably skewed toward gifts of an unpleasant nature to many of the big names currently in power...

The meeting quickly proceeded to the main event: discussion and endorsements of candidates in the upcoming spring elections. Progressive Dane prides itself as a positive alternative that "brings together people committed to making government responsive to our communities' urgent needs."
