Democracy for America today announced their endorsement of Oklahoma State Sen. Andrew Rice in his campaign for U.S. Senate.
From DFA’s website:
We can make this Sen. Inhofe’s last year in office.
Andrew Rice has a proven record in the Oklahoma Legislature having worked on issues like health care, veteran’s rights, and the environment. Andrew will bring his experience to Washington to fight to end the War in Iraq, provide access to health care for all Americans, and solve the crisis of global warming.

The DFA understands that it’s not just that Jim Inhofe is so bad for Oklahoma and the rest of the nation, but that Andrew Rice would be an incredible addition to the U.S. Senate.
For some examples, take a look at Andrew’s piece posted last night on Huffington Post:
Life is precious. The families of those 4,000 brave soldiers who died in combat should always know that their loved ones represent the best our nation has to offer and did everything that was asked of them. The American soldiers who have served in Iraq are heroes. However, their orders should have remained to find and eliminate Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We have taken our eye off the ball for the last five years, allowing the terrorists who attacked us to regenerate after American troops routed the Taliban in Afghanistan. As a result, we are no safer today than prior to 9/11, when my older brother, David, was killed in the World Trade Center.
Thank the DFA for this endorsement by answering their call to give $25 to Andrew Rice’s campaign via their ActBlue page, http://www.actblue.com/page/su… .

Given the known factors so far, I would say Inhofe = Burns but even more extreme and Andrew Rice = Jon Tester.
Rice’s grassroots campaign is off to quite a successful start. Lately, he has been getting more exposure in the netroots community and also getting more and more endorsements every week.
If you haven’t already, take a couple of minutes out of your day to familiarize yourself with Mr. Rice. He is a stand up progressive and he would make an outstanding senator!
Please consider Andrew Rice when you have a few dollars to spare and donate to his campaign today!
