Every day Thom tells us to organize, and we can organize to change Congress right now!, from anywhere in the country (and physically from So. Cal.)
Tuesday June 26 is the special election primary for California’s 37th District (Long Beach, Compton…). The former congresswoman, Juanita Millender-McDonald, recently died of cancer.
There are over 11 democrats running in the primary, and the most progressive is Peter Mathews. Check out his website at
http://www.mathewsforcongress.org/ or Google Peter Mathews.
#1 on his list is to support HR 508 to pull troops out of Iraq in 6 months.
#2 He wants to move toward Impeachment by supporting HR 333
And his entire platform is Progressive.
Help Peter win the primary Tuesday:
From anywhere, with an on-line connection and a phone you can help elect Peter through Virtual phone-banking. Campaign manager Tony Castro will plug you into a system that sends you ten 37th district voter’s names and phone #’s. I’m phone banking from next door in District 36, it is easy and effective.
E-mail Tony from the “volunteer” link on the Peter Mathews website, or call him at 714-272-0298.
In So Cal, we need you physically. This weekend and Monday we are dropping door hangars throughout the district. We need help! See below.
This is a great opportunity to pull Congress one more step toward progressive!
Give us some time, be involved, democracy is ours! Tag, you're it.
