When the Bush administration sent a request to Congress for a $700 billion blank check for Wall Street Campaign for America's Future jumped into action, and so did progressives all across the country. Within days, progressives sent over 80,000 emails to members of Congress demanding that any bailout measure passed through Congress must contain strict oversight, new regulations, and help for Main Street, not just Wall Street. more »

We went right into the lion's den and aired this TV ad for conservatives and media members gathered at the 2008 Republican National Committee Convention. The ad broadcasts unforgettable moments from conservatives’ last eight years in power -- memories they now wish the country would forget.
Thanks to the generous support of Campaign for America's Future supporters, we raised over $20,000 -- enough to saturate the airwaves with this ad throughout the convention host city -- which in turn attracted the national media exposure needed to broadcast the ad across the country. more »

In response to repeated attacks on the patriotism of progressives by right-wing media outlet Fox News, Campaign for America's Future launched the "Tell Fox News – They Don’t Own Patriotism" campaign. The goal of the campaign was to send a clear message to Fox News team in a format to which they'd be receptive: namely, personalized declarations of patriotism, each attached with a genuine Made-In-the-USA flag pin. The thrust of these personal declarations was that progressives are patriotic Americans too, and that no one holds a monopoly on patriotism. more »

During the 110th Congress, progress on key issues was repeatedly obstructed in the Senate by the conservative minority. We launched a petition encouraging the Senate Majority Leader to not back down from the filibuster threats, and nearly 20,000 people signed on. Pressure from our campaign and progressives across the country pushed Senator Reid to force the Republicans to filibuster in a headline-grabbing move.
Unfortunately Reid only forced the filibuster for one day--and after that returned to letting the conservative minority have its way. We stepped up our pressure on Reid by publicizing the conservative obstruction with this video, which received over 100,000 views. Unfortunately, Reid failed to stand up against the obstruction, which cost the 110th Congress precious opportunity for progress. more »

President Bush's 2007 State of the Union address was, true to form, divorced from reality. We made sure the public knew the real State of the Union. We published "State of the Union -- By The Numbers," encouraged our supporters to write letters to the editor, and we developed an online video, "State of Delusion." more »

From September to November 2006, we exposed some of Washington's worst pay-to-play politicians. Through TV and print ads, online videos, direct mail and phone calls, we informed more than one million voters about how their representatives were responsible for Iraq war profiteering, the Part D drug disaster, and outsourcing American jobs.
As part of our continuing work to confront Congressional corruption, Campaign for America’s Future supporters raised over $10,000 for the Legal Expense Trust of progressive champion, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) more »

Just after special-interest lobbyist Jack Abramoff plead guilty to federal charges including conspiracy and fraud, we created a powerful TV ad that exposed the connections between Abramoff and Tom DeLay. Shaken by the ad, DeLay resorted to bullying TV stations who planned to air the spot -- threatening to sue any station that aired it on the grounds that it cast him in a "false light."
As the race to replace Tom DeLay as House majority leader heated up, we created "mock campaign ad" for Reps. John Boehner, R-Ohio, Roy Blunt, R-Mis., and John Shadegg, R-Ariz. Using web advertising and our supporters' spreading the word, these ads exposed the fact that the three men vying for Majority Leader are cut from the same corrupt cloth as Tom DeLay.
The Campaign for America's Future sent a letter – along with a postage-paid envelope addressed to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Relief Fund – requesting that all members of Congress who accepted money from Tom DeLay donate their contribution to Katrina survivors. Tens of thousands of our supporters contacted their member of Congress and asked them to give the contribution DeLay gave to them to charity. more »
