[edit] Past campaigns
In the past, PCCC has partnered with Democracy for America in running political advertising aimed at individual members of the Congress who have not supported the public health insurance option as part of U.S. health care reform, including Chuck Grassley,[5] Olympia Snowe,[6] and Max Baucus.[7][8] PCCC raised funds by encouraging Democrats to donate $1 for each day Norm Coleman refused to concede during the recount battle over the 2008 Senate election in Minnesota.[9][10]
After Jon Stewart's criticism of CNBC in 2009, PCCC launched an open letter petition calling on CNBC to raise their journalistic standards.[11]
