PDA New York Making a Difference With Tasini
Jonathan Tasini Takes His Race for U.S. Senate on the Road Across New York!Across the country, progressive challengers to Democratic supporters of the Iraq war and occupation are making news. PDA is especially proud of our very own Jonathan Tasini, an experienced fighter taking on Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate., , Over the past six months, Tasini supporters and PDA chapters in New York have been working together to collect signatures and raise money. On Thursday, the Tasini campaign will deliver more than twice the number of signatures required (15,000) to get on the ballot: well over 30,000!!! Jonathan will be on the ballot to make sure that Democratic primary voters have a progressive choice, in a state that is overwhelmingly against the Iraq war and supports a far more progressive agenda than the incumbent represents., , As Jonathan found in his talks with voters, voters share our progressive values and many of them are angry at what Senator Hillary Clinton represents: pro-war, pro-NAFTA, pro-death penalty, opposed to single-payer health insurance, and opposed to even censuring Bush and Cheney for their illegal actions., , But, now, Jonathan needs our help—today! The incumbent has raised more than $25 million—and will raise even more thanks to fundraisers being held for her by corporate titans like Rupert Murdoch and Bush supporter Tom O’gara. Progressives needs to dig deep to make sure that our progressive message gets out to voters in New York. Please donate NOW to support Jonathan at www.tasinifornewyork.org/donate, , With roots in the labor movement, clear and strong positions on the issues, and a winning personality, Tasini is the kind of leader our party needs. Not only in New York State – but nationally. [more]
