Obama Press Secretary: “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”(“White House unloads anger over criticism from ‘professional left,’” The Hill, 8/10/2010)
“…dismisses President Obama as weak and easily rolled and calls for all-out war with Republicans and moderate Democrats.” (Benjamin Sarlin, “The Liberal Thorn in Obama’s Side,” The Daily Beast, 12/12/2010)
PCCC: ‘Stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street’
Progressive Change Campaign Committee: “Stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street – Today — Thursday, Nov. 17 — is the 2 month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street.” (“URGENT: Defend Occupy Wall Street,” Progressive Change Campaign Committee)

Ran Ads Against Democrats For Opposing “Public Option” In Obamacare
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) Took Out An Ad In The New York Times To Demand President Obama Include A “Public Option” In Obamacare, Which Not Even All Democrats Supported. “In a full-page New York Times ad released Wednesday, Obama campaign workers demand that the president fight for a public health care option. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee raised over $100,000 online to fund the ad, which will be published in the paper this week. It features a petition signed by 400 former Obama campaign staffers, 25,000 Obama volunteers, and 40,000 Obama donors that states health care reform without a public option is not ‘change we can believe in.’” (Rachel Weiner, “Progressive Obama Backers Take Out Full Page NYT Ad Targeting President, The Huffington Post, 11/09/2009)
“During that battle, the PCCC ran tough ads against senators opposed to a public option— including Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Ben Nelson of Nebraska. And after Scott Brown won an upset in Massachusetts’ special Senate election, the group circulated a letter by Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) calling on Congress to revive the public option in a reconciliation bill.” (Benjamin Sarlin, “The Liberal Thorn in Obama’s Side,” The Daily Beast, 12/12/2010)
PCCC’S FAVORITE CANDIDATE: ALAN GRAYSON
“Alan Grayson says what all progressives think… We’ve supported Alan Grayson since he was elected to Congress. We helped him during his 2010 re-election campaign, and we’re proud to be involved in 2012 to help him take back a seat in Florida’s 9th congressional district. Actions for Grayson: FUNDRAISING – Over 13,000 of our members have contributed over $180,000 to Alan Grayson for his 2010 and 2012 campaigns.” (“Candidates: Alan Grayson,” Progressive Change Campaign Committee)
