Progressive grassroots campaigns

[shubab]

As you may know, the Democratic Party is promoting Bob Casey, Jr. as their choice to defeat Rick Santorum in the Pennsylvania Senate race this year. Unfortunately, Bob Casey's politics are the same as Santorum's. He's an anti-choice, anti-birth control, pro-war, anti-civil rights, anti-national health care, corporate lapdog who takes money from a lot of the same corporations and PACS as Santorum. We are mounting a grassroots campaign to take back our party in Pennsylvania. Progressives here are supporting Chuck Pennacchio, hoping that through hard work we can defeat Casey in the primary. Chuck Pennacchio is politically experienced and an expert in foreign relations, and has a lot of ideas and well-thought-out strategies on how to address the nation's domestic and international problems. A recent Zogby poll shows Pennacchio in the lead (ahead of both Santorum and Casey)if people are aware of how the candidates stand on the issues. Furthermore, Casey's lead over Santorum collapses to two points when people are aware of how he stands on the issues.

In Connecticut, a movement is underway to run Ned Lamont, a progressive, against Joe Lieberman in their August primary this year.

I am trying to spread the word to progressives about these two real Democrats, true to the people this party is supposed to stand for, who are standing up to the machine and the big money. They are running on a shoe-string budget, so the Internet is the best way to get the word out..

Check them out and help any way you can! Chuck Pennacchio's website is www.chuck2006.com and Ned Lamont's is www.nedlamont.com
