A progressive group has collected more than 1,000 personal notes from North Dakotans begging Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) not to retire.
Greg Sargent reports that the Progressive Change Campaign Committee emailed its members in the state and asked them to send Dorgan a personal note. More than 1,000 have responded, with pleas ranging from requests to reconsider to outright begging Dorgan to stay.
The PCCC is still requesting signatures for the petition it plans to the deliver to Dorgan this week. “Senator Dorgan — don’t retire!” the petition reads. “We need people like you in the Senate, fighting for the little guy against corporate power. Please keep fighting for us, and we’ll fight for you.””
