Patriot Majority For A Stronger America

Patriot Majority For A Stronger America, a new 501(c)4, launched a Web site this week aimed at providing voters with a new resource for progressive news and information. The project is an offshoot of Patriot Majority, a 527 that ran issue ads in MA in 2006 and OH in 2007.

Craig Varoga, president of Patriot Majority for a Stronger America, was Tom Vilsack's campaign manager and worked for Wes Clark in 2004.

"Too many issues are being ignored by our national leaders, especially conservative policy makers, including the decline of military readiness, our dependence on foreign oil, selling our national debt to foreign countries and failing to improve our schools so that they prepare our students for the 21st Century," Veroga said in a statement.

Several funders provided seed money, but organizers wouldn't provide specifics.

To get a sense of the tenor and mission of the project, check out the site's lead story: "32 Things Bush & McCain Don't Want You to Know About the Decline of U.S. Military Readiness."
