Now, more than ever before, we need progressives in Congress who will challenge bloated military budgets which bleed our treasury of money better spent on jobs in mass transit, renewable energy, infrastructure repair, education, and health care. A 2007 University of Massachusetts study (pdf) stated that a billion dollars spent on transportation would result in twice the number of jobs than if it were spent on military contracting.

Unlike my opponent who votes to take us to war in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in Pakistan, I will seek diplomatic solutions to the world's problems. Rather than accepting thousands from those invested in war, I will support a war tax so that pay-as-you-go applies to military spending now obscured in supplemental appropriations not considered part of our defense budget.

To lead in Congress... to break America's addiction to war and to debt - I need your support.

Seize the moment for real progressive change.

Here's to breaking our addiction to war and building a peaceful tomorrow.

Thank you for your support,

Marcy Winograd


I'm Marcy Winograd and I'm challenging Blue Dog corporate Democrat Jane Harman in the June 8, 2010 Democratic Party primary. In 2006, when I jumped into the race just three months before the primary, I mobilized almost 38% of the vote.

Join the campaign.
