SNAP Notes

Dear SNAP Supporters:

Endorsements

Students for a New American Politics PAC is excited to announce the endorsement of two, well-know progressive leaders to help build a progressive governing majority in the Senate. Along with the seven leaders we endorsed earlier, SNAP hopes to help take full advantage of the opportunities this cycle provides while providing unparalleled experiences for our fellows.

Former Governor Jeanne Shaheen (NH-D)
Jeanne Shaheen has been serving New Hampshire families for over a decade and would like to represent the state in the United States Senate. During her time as governor, she expanded kindergarten programs, worked to strengthen small business and fought for unemployed workers during the recession of 2002. Now, she is seeking to replace John Sununu, one of the most out of touch and fear-mongering Republicans in the Senate in order to work for those same values at the federal level. Jeanne Shaheen will bring real change and fair representation to the people of New Hampshire.

Al Franken (MN-D)
Al Franken, well know as comedian, author and Air American host, is now trying to extend Minnesota’s history of sending bold progressives to Washington to lead America in the face of challenges. He seeks to continue the tradition of Walter Mondale, Paul Wellstone and Hubert Humphrey by being unabashed in his demands for a change of direction in Iraq, healthcare for all Americans, a reformed education system that fosters learning and opportunity, comprehensive immigration reform cognizant of the struggles of immigrant families, economic policies that benefit working families like the Employee Free Choice Act, and revitalizing and funding our commitment to our veterans. SNAP hopes to help Al Franken become a forceful and true voice of progressive change in the U.S. Senate.

How Can You Help?

Dear SNAP Supporters:

Students for a New American Politics PAC has been shifting in to high gear in the past few weeks and we wanted to keep you informed about our exciting activities. Not only have we begun the process of accepting fellows for this summer’s program, but we have also endorsed a new round of candidates. Be on the look out for more information on our candidates this cycle and upcoming events

Fundraiser

SNAP will be hosting a major fundraising event on May 1st, 2008 in New York City so that we can continue to provide fellowships to our talented pool of applicants and support even more progressive leaders in congressional races across the country. The fundraiser will take place at the home of New York City Council Woman Gale Brewer and Cal Brewer from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. Their home is located at 29 West 96th St. New York, NY.

Endorsements

Students for a New American Politics PAC is proud to announce the endorsements of five progressive candidates of some of the most exciting and competitive races this cycle. Along with Jim Himes, whom we endorsed in February, these candidates will be instrumental in establishing a progressive majority in Congress. SNAP has decided to endorse the following candidates this cycle:

Tom Perriello (VA-5)
Tom Perriello has spent his life fighting for the disadvantaged and those without voices in Africa and in Virginia. More recently, he was been working to change the debate over faith in politics through Faithfulamerica.org and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good. These organizations work to bring together communities of faith to tackle the real issues facing our country- environmental degradation, the war in Iraq, the healthcare crises and poverty. SNAP is proud to support this candidate of change.

Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15)
Mary Jo Kilroy , Franklin County Commissioner who almost unseated incumbent Deborah Pryce in 2006, is making an even stronger challenge this year. She has also been a strong advocate for working families, especially in regards to healthcare reform. Mary Jo Kilroy embodies SNAP values and will be a wonderful representative of the people Ohio’s 15th congressional district.

Darcy Burner (WA-08)
Snap is also proud to be endorsing Darcy Burner this cycle. Darcy Burner, who came tantalizingly close to defeating David Reichert in 2006, is running on a truly progressive platform signified by her acclaimed “Responsible Plan for Ending the War in Iraq.” SNAP is excited to help the people of Washington’s 8th district have truly progressive representation in Congress.

Dan Seals (IL-10)
Dan Seals is running to truly represent the people of this progressive district outside of Chicago. He has been a dynamic force both within his community and abroad. With a range of experiences ranging from teaching English in Japan to working on economic development issues in Congress, Dan Seals is the kind of candidate the voters of the 10th district deserve.

Tom Allen (D-ME)
Tom Allen is another candidate running to replace a faux-moderate in the Senate and expand our tedious majority in that chamber. Not not only has he been a leader in Congress on foreign affairs by voting against the Iraq War from the start, but he’s also been involved with improving Maine’s economy with proposals like the Comprehensive Plan for Maine’s Small Businesses. SNAP is proud to throw our support behind this progressive leader.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

To generate a wider and more diverse range of applicants for our summer program, we’ve decided to extend the application deadline for the 2008 SNAP Summer Fellowship to March 31st.

I’m writing to ask for your help in spreading the word about the unique opportunity that the SNAP Summer Fellowship provides. Below this email you’ll find the announcement we’ve been circulating around the country - please click ‘forward’ in your email and pass it on to parents, teachers and students that you’re in touch with. (And keep in mind that while the fellowship is geared toward college students, we also accept applications from graduating high school seniors.)

As you’re circulating the announcement, please bear in mind that we’re trying to double the size of our program this year and can only do so with your continuing financial support. Please contribute to SNAP today. Donate $50 to sponsor a student for one day, $250 for one week, $1000 for one month or $2500 to sponsor a student for an entire summer.

Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated, and put us that much closer to funding another fellow. Remember that as a student-run PAC, 100% of our funds raised go to support our program.

So please, spread the word far and wide about the new deadline, and contribute today to help us make 2008 a banner year for the progressive movement.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support!

Sincerely,

PROGRESSIVE SUMMER 2008: Be a Students for a New American Politics Fellow!

America is at a crossroads. The 2008 election presents an incredible opportunity to change the future of our country for the better. We can embark on a bold new progressive direction for our nation.

That change isn’t going to come easy, or only with a new president. If we want really big change, we have to elect dozens of new progressive leaders to Congress next fall. Without a more progressive Congress, we’re not going to see major initiatives to make trade fair, end the war, protect worker’s rights and create universal healthcare get passed. We’re going to have huge legislative battles in the next few years - but we can only win those if we focus on the fight ahead of us to expand our progressive majority this fall.

Students for a New American Politics (SNAP PAC) is funding fellowships to make it possible for all students to work on this vital election. We believe this funding is necessary to reduce the economic barriers that prevent too many students from taking internships and later careers in the progressive movement.
SNAP Fellows will be given full-time field organizing placements on key congressional campaigns across the country, working for progressive candidates who have been endorsed by SNAP and whom we believe can win and can use our help. Fellows will be full members of the campaign staff team, working as field organizers to help develop and implement field strategies necessary to recruit volunteers, identify and persuade supporters, and more.
The SNAP Fellowship covers housing, transportation to the campaign, and provides a stipend for living expenses of up to $2500, based on financial need.
This is an unparalleled opportunity to get serious hands-on organizing experience in the most important election of our lifetime!

Apply today and help us take our country in a boldly progressive direction. The application, as well as details about the program and SNAP are online at http://www.snappac.org.
Application deadline: March 31, 2008

Women, LGBT persons and people of color are especially encouraged to apply.

For more information, contact Fellowship Director Anna Robinson-Sweet at anna.robinson-sweet@snappac.org.

Dear SNAP Supporters:

SNAP PAC is continuing its fundraising efforts to be able to fund as many fellowships as possible this summer. With the application deadline approaching and with many forthcoming endorsements, SNAP PAC’s fundraising is becoming even more intense in order to keep up with our ambitious goals. Our most recent fundraiser, held at the home of Jill Medvedow and Richard Kazis in Brookline, MA, was a resounding success. We sincerely thank that Kazis family, including Noah, political director of SNAP, for all of their help in making SNAP as successful as possible this cycle. 

One of the most exciting things about the Boston Fundraiser was that a large portion of the donations were contributed through SNAP’s ACTBLUE donation page. SNAP is actively trying to expand its online fundraising capability and the Boston fundraiser proved how valuable an asset our ACTBLUE page is. Feel free to pay it a visit! 

Endorsements

Within the next week SNAP will be making a new round of endorsements for the 2008 cycle. We have received an overwhelming response from congressional and senatorial campaigns from across the country, and although the decision making process will be difficult, we are looking forward to choosing those candidates that will receive or support this summer and fall. We would like to endorse as many candidates as possible during this first major push, but that depends on people like you. We only endorse candidates when we have the funds to sponsor a SNAP fellow. With the excitement within progressive circles this election cycle, there are numerous candidates that need and deserve our support. It would be a shame if we were unable to help these candidates because of lack of resources.

How Can You Help?

We need your support to help SNAP reach it’s goal of sponsoring 40 to 50 fellowships this summer. There are many ways you can get involved and help us lay the groundwork for victory in the coming elections.

SNAP PAC has been actively involved in fundraising efforts in order to double the size of our fellowship program this summer. Last Sunday, in snowy New Canaan Connecticut, SNAP hosted a fundraiser featuring two of our previous endorsement recipients, Ned Lamont and Congressman Chris Murphy.  The fundraiser was held at the home of Ruth LeBlanc Jones and organized by Beth Jones, who we can’t thank enough for their generosity and support.

Congressman Murphy spoke eloquently about how important SNAP was to making his a winning campaign. He noted that the two SNAP fellows his campaign received in June 2006 effectively doubled his staff. SNAP is proud of to have endorsed this all-star of the Democratic freshman class.

Jim Himes also spoke about the importance of his campaign and detailed how fundamental American values have been ignored by the Republican failures of the past 7 years. Jim Himes not only has the perfect experience and ideas to serve Connecticut’s 4th District, but he’s also a striking speaker!

SNAP was proud to announce the we would be endorsing Jim Himes this cycle making him our first endorsement of 2008! We are excited to help him rise to victory over Chis Shays and know that students will learn great skills working on his campaign. Chris Shays’ departure from Congress is well overdue.  Stay tuned for future endorsements of the 2008 cycle in the coming weeks. Overall, the fundraiser was a resounding success, thanks  to help of our wonderful Host Committee and the generosity of some of Connecticut’s progressive elected officials.

This week we’d like to highlight legislation that passed in Congress last weekend: the “reform” of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as the Protect America Act of 2007. This move is deeply disturbing, and to us reflects yet again the need to strengthen a progressive majority in Congress.

The bill legalizes the warantless wiretapping programs of the Bush National Security Agency, programs which were roundly criticized as illegal violations of Americans’ basic civil liberties - and which have, to do this day, escaped serious public scrutiny, as the administration has steadfastly refused to open its practices to public review, in the name of “national security.”

At SNAP, we believe (as you’ll read in our statement of principles) “that government should be open and accountable, reflecting fundamental democratic principles,” and “that law and order begin with a bond of trust between the people and their government.”

Last weekend’s legislation was, in our eyes, an effort to take our country in exactly the opposite direction, toward an America where government need not be honest with its citizenry faces no limits on its conduct of a never-ending war on terror. This isn’t just the America of warrantless wiretaps - it’s also the America of Abu Ghraib, of the CIA secret prisons and of Guantanamo Bay.

Yet perhaps what the last-minute passage of the law more clearly reflects is the continuing way in which conservatives close conversations about civil liberties in the war on terrorism by claiming that to obstruct passage of legislation like this - which was rammed through by the President right before Congress began its recess - is to make America unsafe (the President essentially threatened a month of public proclamations that opponents were threatening our security if his bill wasn’t passed). These arguments continue to be waged successfully to bully those who would be thoughtful into supporting disgraceful and unconstitutional policy - such that our majority was again too weak to stand up and block this law.

The only way we’re going to stamp out this politics of fear is to expand and strengthen a progressive majority in Congress that believes in a different kind of politics, in which the need for open government and trust between government and the people is fundamental. That way reckless lawbreaking and overreaching will be seen for what it is - regardless of the party of the president - and laws like this won’t even stand a chance of passage.

Help us build that new majority - contribute today to support student organizers in summer ‘08, and help elect a majority that will create a new bond of trust in our democracy.

Thank you so much for all of your support.

Yours in solidarity,

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we’ve said before, the work of Students for a New American Politics goes beyond supporting progressive candidates.  By providing stipends for students to work as organizers for progressive campaigns, we aim to not only expand our progressive majority in Congress, but to expand the opportunities for students as well, giving them the experience and training to continue their organizing and political work in the future.  Today and in the coming weeks, we’ll be highlighting a few of the students who received SNAP fellowships in 2006 to work as organizers in races across the country.

We begin with Monica Carmean, a California native and Northwestern University graduate who spent last summer working to elect Diane Farrell in Connecticut’s fourth Congressional district.  Of her internship last year, Monica writes,

 It was an amazing experience taking part on the grassroots end of progressive politics.  [Diane Farrell] lost in November, and I was bummed, but after spending all summer with Connecticut campaigns I couldn’t help but be happy for our other new representatives and Democratic majority!

Like many former SNAP students, Monica has stayed involved in progressive politics.  Since her graduation from Northwestern this spring, she has been interning for Representative Anna Eshoo, “an amazing Democrat from California,” learning the ins and outs of a different side of political work.  Still, Monica’s experience as a SNAP organizer remains a memorable and relevant part of her life in Washington.  She writes that,

 It seems like I run into people from my SNAP experience every corner I turn in the House Office Buildings—upstairs in Cannon, in committee in Rayburn, and even at the grocery store…DC is an exciting place to be for someone interested in politics, and is getting friendlier to progressive values with the Democratic Congress and [hopefully!] impending Democratic presidency.  While working with SNAP, I learned how to stay optimistic under even the most stressful of circumstances, encourage constituents into positive political action, and how important phone calls can be to progressive politics. I’m figuring out how to remain idealistic while getting an office job, but I have faith that the foundation provided organizations like SNAP PAC will get me there!  

We’d like to congratulate Monica for her work—and thank you for making her experience with SNAP possible.  It is your continued support that will allow us to fund the work of even more students in 2008, giving them knowledge and skills that will carry them far beyond next summer and next year’s elections.  Please contribute now to support the work of our first student fellows in 2008.

As always, thank you for your incredible support.

Margaret Sharp & Hugh Baran
Executive Directors, Students for a New American Politics PAC

Dear Friends and Supporters,

When we last wrote you, it was to inform you of Students for a New American Politics PAC’s commitment to expanding the progressive majority in Congress in 2008. The decision to forgoe the energy and buzz surrounding the presidential campaign was not – as you might have realized – one we took lightly.

This choice was about how we can best realize the progressive vision of America that we laid out at SNAP’s inception in 2005 in our statement of principles, a vision that we still believe to be “motivated by the best of traditional American values.” If you haven’t done so in a while, take a look at that statement – you can find it at www.snappac.org/principles.php. That is the vision and the commitment we as progressive students have brought and will continue to bring to the work we do, and the critical choices we make as an organization.

Starting this week, we’ll be highlighting the ways in which the choice to work toward a stronger progressive majority relates to each and every one of our principles – and in doing so, we hope to show you why funding as many students as possible in 2008 to do this work is more important than ever.

We’d like to begin by highlighting one of the principles that matters most to us: “We believe that ordinary people should be rewarded for hard work, and that everyone should have the right to organize to ensure recognition of their work.”

Two weeks ago, a majority of the U.S. Senate upheld their belief in this value as well by voting in favor of the Employee Free Choice Act, a piece of legislation that would restore the right to organize to millions of American workers for whom it effectively does not exist today. By mandating that employers recognize the right of workers to unionize through majority sign-up processes and strengthening government oversight and enforcement of worker’s rights, the EFCA would have a tremendous positive impact on the ability of workers to form unions and create good jobs to sustain them and their families.

Yet because anti-worker legislators countered the EFCA by preventing a vote on the bill’s final passage, and because the progressive pro-worker majority was so small – 51 votes instead of the required 60 to go forward – the measure was defeated.

Why is this an issue that’s important to SNAP PAC? For two key reasons: first, a clear majority of American workers indicate in poll after poll that they would join a union tomorrow if they could, and yet the obstacles created by employer intimidation and lack of enforcement have left the vast majority unable to realize this prospect. Second, we believe the progressive movement will never recover its former strength without a stronger labor movement, which can only be a reality if more workers are able to form and join unions.

We ask you to stand up for workers’ rights by standing with us for a stronger progressive majority in Congress. Please contribute to SNAP PAC today in whatever amount you are able and help us realize the dream of an America where every worker has access to good pay and benefits and a voice at work.

Passage of the most important labor reform in decades could be just around the corner. Let’s not wait any longer than necessary. Please contribute today.

Thank you for everything you do.

In solidarity,

Hugh Baran & Margaret Sharp

Dear Friends and Supporters,

The presidential election has begun far earlier than anyone anticipated. Enormous efforts are already being poured into that race, and many of you have probably already been bombarded with fundraising calls and letters from many of the candidates. This letter, we promise you, will not be about that.

Here at Students for a New American Politics PAC we have decided to forgo presidential politics in 2008. We believe that whoever the next president is, he or she will not be able to enact dramatic and meaningful progressive change without a stronger progressive majority in Congress.

Already this year, we’ve seen how important it has been to have a progressive presence in Congress, but we’ve also seen how our narrow majorities have prevented progressives from enacting drastic change—like bringing a swift end to the war in Iraq. While others place their hope in one woman or man, progressives must invest both financial and human resources in key House and Senate races around the country.

Students for a New American Politics PAC is committed to following our success in the 2006 election to a stronger Congressional majority. Last year we funded twenty student organizers on eleven campaigns nationwide, providing critical staff in some of the year’s most important races We continued our efforts in the fall, putting hundreds of students on the streets and helping eke out victories in extremely tight races, like that of Connecticut’s Joe Courtney, who won by a mere 83 votes.

But as many of you know, our work is about more than elections. By opening doors for students for whom volunteering for a campaign was not financially possible, we’ve helped broaden the base of the progressive movement, giving more students the tools and experience they need to work for change in years to come. Beyond contributing to winning campaigns, we are building a generation of progressive leaders that is, in the words of Representative Carolyn Maloney, “as diverse and dynamic as this country.”

We believe we can double or even triple the size of our program this cycle, providing more opportunities for students and support for progressive candidates around the country. But we can only do so with your generous support. Please give whatever you are able - $25, $50, $150 or more – and help us make the SNAP PAC program in 2008 bigger and better than ever.

The longer we hold out for the miracle president and the longer we delay the work of rebuilding America’s progressive movement, the longer we will be waiting for this country to really change. And quite frankly, time has already run out.

Your support in the past two years has made SNAP PAC the recognized force in grassroots student politics that it is today, and only with your support can our student-run program continue. Please contribute today to bring change in 2008 and beyond.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done and continue to do - and as always, please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, comments or suggestions.

Sincerely,

Margaret Sharp & Hugh Baran

Dear SNAP Supporters,

On behalf of all of us at SNAP, congratulations and thank you for all your hard work and support! Tuesday, SNAP candidates across the country won exciting victories. Many of our candidates held on to their seats where they will be able to continue fighting for peace, economic and racial justice: Rep. Julia Carson from Indiana held her seat in a tight race and Senator Debbie Stabenow overcame many negative attacks to hold her Senate seat from Michigan.

Another batch of exciting SNAP candidates overcame great odds and won as challengers against powerful incumbents. We are so proud of the work of these candidates: Chris Murphy soundly defeated 24 year incumbent and major Bush supporter Nancy Johnson; Paul Hodes beat powerful 6-term incumbent Charlie Bass making him the first Democrat from the district in 15 years; and in a hard fought race in the ever-uncertain Ohio, Rep. Sherrod Brown took the Senate seat from Mike DeWine in a decisive victory for progressive economic values.

Two more constituencies sent clear messages about the need for change by electing Rep. Bernie Sanders to Senate in Vermont and Nick Lampson to the House in Texas. Rep. Sanders and Mr. Lampson fought hard to encourage voters to pick the road towards change when faced with empty seats in their districts. We are so excited to see these two disparate communities sending such clear messages about that need for change.

In the 2nd District of Connecticut and the 1st District of New Mexico, Joe Courtney and Patricia Madrid are in races still too close to call. Both candidates will represent important new paths when they replace long time incumbents in their districts. We are standing by them as the final votes are slowly counted (and a slow process is one way to ensure a fair one), confident that their teams’ hard work will pay off with declarations of victory in the next few days.

Finally, we are proud to have stood with Diane Farrell in the Connecticut 4th, Lois Murphy in the Pennsylvania 6th, Scott Kleeb in the Nebraska 3rd and Ned Lamont in the Connecticut Senate race in their bids to take these seats. All four candidates came much closer than anyone had anticipated, with many of these races being decided by literally the last votes counted. Their calls for change, for an end to the war in Iraq, for healthcare for all Americans, for economic justice in a country in which Americans are becoming increasingly economically insecure, were messages that resonated strongly in their districts, as evidenced by the closeness of all these races. We are excited to have been a part of their calls for change and are confident that the Republicans who won these seats will be forced to listen to the very loud message from their constituencies that business as usual will no longer be tolerated.

All these victories represent clear messages from electorates around the country that the time for change has come. We at SNAP are so proud to have stood with all our candidates over the last year and to have been a part of these victories. In many of these races, we know that SNAP students made the difference. We are even prouder of the work our interns and students have done during this time for these candidates. Our interns and students gave energy, time and talent to our candidates that helped make yesterday’s decisive change in the future of our country a reality.

We hope you keep in touch with us in the future and look for more from SNAP as we approach the 2008 elections and our country’s next opportunity to send a final message that enough is enough.

Thank you for all your work and support, we couldn’t be prouder!
