Passing along this great program from the National Stonewall Democrats. It is great to see NSD come out with such a strong program supporting so many races.
After a month of voting and 50,000 votes cast, Stonewall Democrats have their final ElectEquality candidates! They are Tim Bishop, David Cicililne, Scott Galvin, Alexi Giannoulias, Paul Hodes, Rush Holt, Kendrick Meek, Patrick Murphy, Ed Potosnak, Steve Pougnet, Carol Shea-Porter and Dina Titus.
You may have noticed that instead of the ten candidates they are throwing our weight behind twelve ElectEquality candidates. The board of directors of National Stonewall Democrats PAC was blown away by the overwhelming support each of these candidates received — and by how tight the race was — and simply couldn’t cull the list down to ten.
Now that selecting the candidates is done, it’s time to take out all the stops and throw our unequivocal support behind each and every one of them at http://www.actblue.com/page/el…
The fate of pro-equality legislation in the Congress depends entirely on who we elect this fall. Don’t miss this opportunity to do what you can to support the ElectEquality candidates.
I’m frustrated that the national Democrats aren’t even trying in NJ-07 this year. It’s winnable, we came very close in 2006.
I wrote about my thoughts on NJ-07 near the end of this DailyKos article on 2010 strategy.
Full disclosure: I plan to volunteer for his campaign after I move back to NJ.
are a great, great organization…much better than certain other “political” LGBT groups that shall remain nameless.
Thanks for all your great work, and good luck! I’ll definitely be contributing.
one of the Republicans that voted for the repeal of DADT? I thought I remembered seeing his name come up there.
I know that Mary Bono Mack is going to be feeling it for her no vote, Pougnet is probably going to push the gay rights angle very heavily in the election.
