Inside/Outside Update
PDA Staff Report
December 6th, 2005

Special Election Update


This special election edition of the PDA Inside/Outside Report is focused on the crucial Congressional campaign for Steve Young in California's 48th District. Young is running against a Republican, and an American Independent who co-founded the national border vigilante Minute Man Project.

PDA activists are on the ground in Orange County working to get out the peace and justice vote for Steve Young. This candidacy has moved from a longshot progressive hopeful to a real potential win!

From the blog Daily Kos you can read why this race is winnable.

Steve has become a real contender, with a serious chance to win in a "red" (traditionally Republican) district running on an "End the Occupation" message. But we need your help NOW! Please take a few minutes to help "get out the vote" from your home! The election is today (Dec. 6)! Our web site has more information and suggests a few ways you can help.
