From your buddy ---------- Forwarded message --------- Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: * Hey Neera, Just wanted to pass along this note I sent to Bob Creamer, who as you may know is consulting for the DNC and is close to Robby Mook. Wanted to pass it along to you as well, hoping you won’t take offense because I feel some urgency about this. You and Podesta are a great bridge to the DC, more establishment oriented progressive world, but I just feel like the campaign is making a mistake not doing stronger outreach to grassroots/netroots progressives. And while I don’t think it will cause them to lost the primary, I do worry it makes everything tougher in that process, and it makes bringing everyone in (and getting them excited) after Bernie loses that much harder. Am worried and frustrated, so take it with a grain of salt… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Lux 1250 Eye St., N.W., Suite 250 Washington, D.C. 20005 (202) 628-7771 A Proud Member of Democracy Partners <http://www.democracypartners.com/> * We have to figure out a strategy to get them to reach out to progressives more. Did you see the #s on the WFP and DFA membership endorsement votes? Both were in the high 80s for Bernie, and that was with Howard Dean endorsing Hillary and sending a strong personal appeal to the DFA list to support her. I got this from a strong Hillary supporter: This is just bad campaign management on the part of HRC's folks. > Bernie sent to his lists from what I can see in terms of who I got > emails from. I am on Bernie's daily email list but not O'Malley and I > received nothing from O'Malley or from DFA for O'Malley. > > But the HRC folks did not send out to their email list. They stuck to > letting DFA send to DFA's email list as far as I can see. And I only > got 1 email for the entire week. They should have sent out to their > entire email list at least every other day. > Why don’t they compete with Bernie on these votes? Why did they blow off the Moveon video townhall? Based on what I know of the WFP board, there were some members ready to make the argument not to do an endorsement if the margin had been smaller, but nobody was willing to stand in front of the bus when the margin was 87-6. Do they even have a progressive liaison? I had that role in the ’92 campaign when the progressive movement was a lot less strong than it is today, but I don’t see anybody doing it today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Lux 1250 Eye St., N.W., Suite 250 Washington, D.C. 20005 (202) 628-7771 A Proud Member of Democracy Partners <http://www.democracypartners.com/>
