One of my heroes, John Murtha, was interviewed recently by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. He said he was very disappointed that Hillary "DLC" Clinton did not support his position to redeploy our troops from the bloody civil war in Iraq.

Murtha told Goodman: "Yeah, I'm disappointed. I'm not sure why that's happened. She talked to me after I made my statement. And I think - I don't know what the reason she's decided not to endorse my position." Read More

A fresh Zogby poll has Democrat Jonathan Tasini beating Republican John Spencer by a healthy 7 points in the New York US Senate race. Tasini is hardly even known across the state. He hardly has any money. But this will all change when he gains the Democratic nomination on Sept. 12 by defeating Hillary "DLC" Clinton. He's already leading Spencer now, just imagine when he gets the Democratic nomination. Democrats have no fears now in voting for Tasini. Vote your conscience, vote Tasini for US Senate. Read More

Hillary Clinton voted for the Patriot Act, and she also voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act. What in the world is she doing? Is this what the Democratic Party has come to represent? Is there any other reason that Hillary voted for this law other than she wants to run for higher office? She's acting like a Republican again.

Constitutional scholars say that this law doesn't allow for due process. And that it violates the 1st, 4rth, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments to the Constitution. Supporters say that it will only be used to go after the foreign terrorists, but that's not true. The law will effect Americans too and it will be construed to go after them for crimes totally unrelated to terrorism.

We need senators in Washington who will repeal this law that trashes and undermines our Constitution, not vote to extend it, like Hillary has done. In the New York Democratic primary for Senate on Sept. 12 we have a choice to make. I say send Hillary a strong message and vote for her progressive opponent in the primary, Jonathan Tasini.

Hillary Supports "Free Trade." Don't Support Her

Hillary Clinton supports so called free trade deals like NAFTA. And just again recently Hillary voted for a "free trade" agreement with Oman, which will cost Americans thousands more jobs.

NAFTA has hit upstate New York hard. About 50,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost there, as companies wish to save money by moving these jobs out of the country. Hillary is siding with the corporations, not the workers. She has shown contempt for working people.

Many manufacturing job losses in upstate New York were high paying union jobs. And these people had to take jobs in lower paying lines of work to make ends meet. It is very demeaning for somebody who has given their whole adult working life to a factory.

Workers at Buffalo China in Buffalo and Carrier Corp in Syracuse have been given letters telling them that their jobs have been terminated. Let's return the favor. Hillary Clinton should be fired from her job as a senator.

I've decided that I will be voting for Jonathan Tasini in the Democratic primary for US Senate in New York on September 12. Hillary Clinton has just been too supportive of this war for far too long. She voted for it, and she refuses to say her vote was a mistake.

We need senators in Washington who are going to stand on progressive ideals. Hillary Clinton just hasn't been doing that. All too often she takes the Republican position because I believe she wants to run for president and in her mind she thinks these Republican positions will get her elected. She is sorely mistaken.

Even if Tasini doesn't win, a strong showing would certainly send Hillary a message to start taking us seriously and to start taking more progressive stands. She isn't as bad as Lieberman, but she certainly could be better. Supporting Tasini would send a strong message to New York, and the country, that we don't support the war in Iraq, and that we need to start bringing our troops home.
