A new ad from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America, airing in modest buys in Iowa and Washington, D.C., goes after Senator Charles Grassley at some length for taking money from the insurance industry and opposing a public option.

Progressive groups are launching a new round of advertising against Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, (D-Mont.), in an effort to persuade him to support a public option.

The PCCC says that the ad will appear on CNN, MSNBC and on The Daily Show at Comedy Central. Adam Green, co-founder of the organization, asserted this morning that unlike other groups’ ads, this one isn’t “light and fluffy.”

A joint project by Democrats has flipped traditional fund-raising on its head, by starting a campaign aimed at collecting $1 a day from supporters “to make Norm Coleman go away.”

They’re asking donors to give a $1 each day Sen. Norm Coleman continues his legal challenge — money that will then be used to help bankroll liberal candidates in 2010.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has released some genuinely funny video of the group taking its FixCNBC.com campaign to the sidewalks of Wall Street and the network’s corporate headquarters.

The netroots are excited about the emergence of a new organization called the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), which seeks to “provid[e] needed infrastructure and strategic advice to progressive candidates so they can run first-class campaigns and win.” (Middle of Page)

The organization will be the first of its kind exclusively to focus on electing progressive Democrats in congressional elections.
