P Street Project to lobby for progressives' agenda

The Washington Post reports:

A progressive grass-roots organizing group is launching a federal lobbying arm Saturday, seeking to leverage the energy of its members to advance liberal policy in Congress.

The P Street Project is an effort by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee to build upon the progressive movement's online organizing of the past few years and move into the business of registered lobbying. The lobby has recently advocated on some issues during a trial run, but will be officially launched here at Netroots Nation, a gathering of 2,100 liberal leaders, bloggers and activists.
