2006 will be an important year for our country. PDA would like your input as we plan our direction for next year. To help stimulate discussion, we have asked members of our Advisory Board to write their recommendations and vision of the future role of PDA. But we need your feedback. It is imperative to PDA's success that your grassroots input is combined with the thoughts of these progressive leaders to determine the direction PDA will take in the crucial year ahead.

Our first letter about PDA's future is written by Tom Hayden. Tom has been with PDA since our launch as an organization. He told us then that the 2004 election for President must be about the war. His words fell on deaf ears with Democratic Nominee John Kerry, but not to the hundreds of thousands of activists who mobilized around this issue in 2004. In 2006, we must keep this issue at the forefront. Tom has recently written a letter to the senior staff and advisors of PDA discussing what he feels should be the future strategic plan regarding our electoral work as truly progressive Democrats. With Bush and his cronies facing criminal and potential impeachment charges, the movement to elect Democrats who are a voice of peace in Congress is critical. Please read the following piece by Tom Hayden regarding his advisement for PDA in 2006, and then send us your feedback (see instructions at the top and bottom of the article on our web site):
