A massacre or mere fiasco? While liberal media and political hacks offer excuses, Marcy Winograd is making Congresswoman Jane Harman sweat.

winograd on massacre of peace activists

Progressives must put up a fight — and that means taking on the Democratic Party establishment.

Facing a tenacious primary challenge from progressive Marcy Winograd, Jane Harman tried to use Peace Action’s published voting records to claim that she is a progressive rather than a pro-war hawk.

Jane Harman is the current office holder for the 36th Congressional District in California. She is no friend to progressives and people that care about protecting our privacy rights. And she has a primary challenger in June by the name of Marcy Winograd.

So I was sitting around my house today, putting off doing my Latin homework, when it hit me – instead of just opening the fridge a dozen times and checking my facebook a hundred times, I could be putting this time to good use! And I did. I started doing some online phonebanking for Marcy Winograd‘s campaign for Congress in California’s 36th district.

If you’re bored, feeling helpless and alone amidst a sea of political currents fighting against you, excited about the upcoming primaries and election, overcome with energy you need to spend on something, or feeling any other emotion, this is for you! Marcy has been a member of the Netroots for years and is a firebrand progressive. Since she’s running against a corrupt Blue Dog (Jane Harman), this is one of the best races in the country for progressives to get involved in.

I live in Pennsylvania, yet I’m still able to help Marcy’s campaign, because of a neat online phonebanking tool that has been set up. Follow me below the fold to learn how you can help, too.

Add Illinois to Pennsylvania as states where there is a contested Senate primary in which the war in Afghanistan has become an issue. The Chicago Tribune reports that the two leading contenders for the Democratic nomination for Barack Obama’s former seat in the Senate have staked out diametrically opposed positions: Cheryle Jackson wants to end the war, while Alexi Giannoulias supports its continuation.

What do you think, is this something or is it nothing? A Kuwaiti broker allegedly commits suicide only days after the SEC files a lawsuit…
