Marcy Winograd for Congress in 2010


http://winograd4congress.com/

Marcy Winograd is running for Congress in California's 36th District, currently represented by Jane Harman. THIS is a primary challenge I urge my fellow 36thers, and anyone else interested in working at the grass roots level to put REAL progressives in the Capitol Building, to support!





From Marcy's website:

Winograd Calls for a Green New Deal!
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!...

Google “Top Ten Green Jobs of the Future” and you’ll read about the need for organic farmers, solar panel installers, wind turbine developers, energy-efficiency builders, waste recyclers, mass transit engineers, hydrologists, urban planners, electric and hybrid car manufacturers, and drought-resistant landscapers.

We need a Green New Deal that would fund jobs both in the public and private sector...

Winograd Supports Affordable Meds
Harman's Support for Big Pharma HURTS Patients with Breast Cancer, HIV, and More ...

The latest health insurance reform bill includes an amendment, supported by Jane Harman, member of the Committee on Energy & Commerce, to extend the pharmaceutical industry's monopoly on expensive biologic drugs to twelve (12) years or longer, harming victims of cancer, HIV, rheumatoid arthritis and rare diseases...



Out of Afghanistan
Bring our troops home. Invest in Real Security.

“I will vote to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. Jane Harman will not.”
Marcy Winograd

Why We Must Rethink Afghanistan



Campaign Update

Progressive Democratic Club/Harbor Area endorses Marcy Winograd for Congress, joining
the Torrance Democratic Club in supporting Winograd in the June 8th, 2010 Democratic Party
primary.



Please help us unseat Jane Harman and give CA-36 a REAL progressive Democrat in Congress!

Thanks,
ZW

1. Absolutely!
I support her.

I was lucky enough to attend one of her coffees in the last campaign, and she impressed me so much with her intelligence and ideas.

Thank you for this endorsement! It's full of great pics...Did you take these?

K&R

3. They are all from her website
I did meet her, however, when she marched in the Wilmington Labor Day parade last year. She's true to her harbor-area roots. :thumbsup:

2. K&R for REAL Democrats!
Marci Winograd would probably be an upgrade to most of the people currently in Congress. In the case of Jane Harman, there's absolutely no doubt about it. That is one DINO who absolutely needs to become "extinct" NOW.
