PDA Endorses Tasini NY US Senate

PDA ENDORSES JONATHAN TASINI FOR NEW YORK U.S. SENATE SEAT

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) enthusiastically endorses Jonathan Tasini for U.S. Senate in New York. Tasini, former President of the National Writers Union, is running on a platform supporting immediate withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, universal health care ("Medicare for All"), a Fair Trade policy that ensures environmental protections and workers' rights, and a massive national effort to invest in alternative energy.

PDA Executive Director Tim Carpenter says: "Jonathan Tasini is offering voters in New York a real alternative to the Bush Administration’s failed stay-the-course strategy. He has had the courage to call for withdrawal. Grassroots Democrats have responded to that courage and each PDA chapter in New York has endorsed his candidacy, allowing for a PDA national endorsement."

Carpenter believes the Tasini candidacy sends a message to the Democratic Leadership. "Any Democrat who continues to support the war needs to be held accountable," he says. "If Democrats want to lead this country again, Democrats need to take the lead on getting our troops out of Iraq."
