6. 55101-4405, to be exact
But since you're not going to be mailing them a letter, it's pretty much a moot point.

Pity that the DFL got a detail wrong, though.

As NNNS pointed out, it's correct on the Progressive Caucus website:

DP,
Do you know if the DFL Progressive Caucus affiliated with The Progressive Democrats of America?

5. Yes, we have an elected rep. to their regional council
The DFL Progressive Caucus elected a regional representative to the PDA system of regional councils. We are in the Midwest Region with 12 other states.

7. Good.
I've been watching their website, and like what I see. I'm also posting their website link to threads bitching about the Democratic Party, DLC, and election 2004. I believe that an internal reform of the Democratic Party is necessary, and I'm praying that this group may be able to catalyze that change.

I have found their site a little chaotic (understandably). I did find the link to a local Yahoo group for the DFL Progressive Caucus, which I joined.

I'm also fantasizing a possible trip to DC on the 19th and staying for the Progressive Democrats Summit. I would be driving, and open to sharing costs with 2 or 3 people. I'm wondering if any local DUers might be interested. I will probably post as a topic and see if there is any interest.

8. Mea culpa for the "chaos" at the MN PC site.
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 03:15 PM by no name no slogan
I'm the webmaster for the www.progressivecaucus.net site, and I've been a bit out of sorts of late, with a new job (which I don't care for) and other health issues. I apologize for the chaos.

However, it's on the way back again. I'm working on a redesign and adding some new features. We hope to make it an important tool for organizing and moving the party forward-- progressively speaking, that is.

btw if you want to see photos from the un-official "founding" of the MN Progressive Caucus at this year's DFL state convention, visit http://www.progressivecaucus.net/photos/. It's good for a laugh if nothing else. :dunce:

9. No problem
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 03:35 PM by bvar22
Can I help?

I was actually referring to the national site:
http://www.pdamerica.org/

The National Site is becoming better organized, and it is through their site that I found the link to the MNProgressive Caucus.

You guys have been organizing while I been bitching!
I missed the meeting last night at Carpenter's Hall.
