AMERICA VOTES' COALITION RECENT NEWS
Former Colo. Senate leader Fitz-Gerald leads America Votes liberal coalition 10-27-09
Former state
Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald is the new president of America
Votes, a national progressive group that she says is "perfect" for the
skill set she spent 25 years building.
She started Oct. 15 and already has traveled to various states.
America Votes, which was founded in 2003, is a coalition of liberal
grassroots, get-out-the-vote groups.
"Truly, the nicest part about this is with the kind of expertise
I've gained, you say, 'Well I've learned a lot. What can I do with it?'
" Fitz-Gerald said. "This job is the perfect answer.
"And 2010 is a really important year. It has a lot to do with
redistricting, and, as you know, I have some experience with that," she
said, with a laugh.

Few members of Michigan’s progressive community can say definitively that they have gone to fisticuffs in defense of a candidate. Though many may have nurtured the desire (and perhaps let a Twitter update suffer their wrath instead), Ray Plowden may be the only one yet to have thrown punches for Jack Kennedy.
“The first fight I got into at school was with a guy in the same grade, and he was for Nixon and I was for Kennedy,” Plowden remembers. “We argued about it on the playground; he pushed me or I pushed him, I don’t know who it was, but we started tussling over Nixon and Kennedy.”
