WASHINGTON -- Two of the top progressive groups in politics are teaming up for what their leaders say is a historic effort to aid President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
MoveOn.org Political Action, the 7 million-member liberal advocacy group, and Workers' Voice, the super PAC arm of the 12 million-member labor union AFL-CIO, will announce on Tuesday morning a joint get out the vote venture for this and future campaigns.
"This is a major partnership," said Michael Podhorzer, executive director of Workers' Voice. "Our goal was to make this as broad a movement as possible and go well beyond the traditional union universe. This is a major step in that direction. ... We are going to be contacting millions of people and we will see as this develops how potent this is. It hasn't been done on this scale before by independent groups."
