Tim Canova, Debbie Wasserman Schultz Challenger, Wins Two Huge Endorsements

[leftcoastmountains]

On March 3, the Communication Workers of America, the nation's largest "communications and media" union, endorsed Canova. The union, which claims to represent 700,000 workers, has also thrown its full support behind Sanders.
Yesterday, the nation's largest nurses' union, National Nurses United, endorsed Canova at a 1 p.m. news conference as well.

"Our goal is to get people into elected office that will stand up to people and not corporations," union President Deborah Burger told New Times via phone. "So far, what we’ve seen is that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has utilized the DNC to promote a certain candidate [Hillary Clinton]. That candidate has taken billions, billions in corporate donations."

Her union, she said, is backing both Canova and Sanders due to their support for single-payer health care and environmental protection laws. Nurses, she said, are often forced to deal with patients harmed by government policies.

Interesting story about Canova. I knew he was an attorney but that was all I knew.
The main stream politicians etc. have written him off just like they did Sanders!

2. There is nothing more I'd like to see than the woman who has destroyed the Dem party in the

unemployment line.

Since she has been the DNC Dems have lost seats in local governments, including Governors, lost seats in both houses in Congress AND there has been absolutely ZERO Gotv efforts coming from the DNC for this primary season.

Not to mention payday lending....

Please make her go away!

7. There's been no polling yet that I've heard about. DWS has never been challenged.

Fairly liberal district, she's not. But she always just won without an opponent. Well, guess what, Debbie?

5. Congratulations to Tim Canova who'll make a fine rep. for Florida!

8. Just remember Lieberman/Lamont.

The right-wing corporate/war-mongering establishment DOES work against their own party when directly challenged by internal wins of the progressive/liberal-left grassroots, and Third-Way/DLC is a lot bigger than just DWS.

9. yeah, after 6 years of "don't vote third-party!" they endorse the 3rd party

HHHMMMMMMM

10. Florida election law is different.

If Debbie Disaster loses her primary, she's out. Can't switch over.

12. Can't run as an independent? Interesting. /nt

13. "If all you do is look in the rearview mirror, you're going to miss an awful lot......

of what's coming down the pike.

As for the analysts who say he can't topple the entrenched Wasserman Schultz, he says, "A lot of the academy are very establishment-oriented. They can't envision an insurgency when it's happening.

"Leading up to the financial crisis, people thought it was impossible to have a financial collapse. If all you do is look in the rearview mirror, you're going to miss an awful lot of what's coming down the pike."
