Tester is a great candidate and we need more people like him to run in red areas. He shows that if we Democrats run a "loud and proud" progressive campaign, we WILL take back Congress in 2006 and put this country back on the right path. Please consider donating to his and other progressive campaigns.

A "Loud and Clear" Message for the Democratic Party

This has been an exciting year. Last January, Democrats walked into Helena following our most successful election in a generation. And we walked out after one of the most effective legislative sessions - and special sessions - in memory.
We embraced renewable energy ... historically high levels of funding for education ... new programs to extend health insurance and prescription drug coverage to more Montanans ... and economic development programs that will move Montana forward.
Montanans have responded to our leadership. They gave the Legislature its highest marks in recent memory. Recent polls show most Montanans feel better about the direction of our state than they do about the direction of our country. And every new poll that comes out shows an increasing level of faith in Montana Democrats.
What we proved here in Montana is that it is possible, even in a so-called red state, to put forward an aggressive, principled agenda, get it passed, and win the trust of voters....
Thank you all for all that you do,
Jon Tester
