It is time for Democrats to vote and embody their morals. This is not a time for timidity. Americans will ultimately reward those who support the morality of healthcare.
Over the past year, DFA members have worked harder than anyone else to pass real healthcare reform, but Insurance Industry Democrats like Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas have fought us every step of the way.
We sent Blanche Lincoln a message earlier this month when we announced our support for Lt. Gov. Bill Halter’s primary challenge against her. That endorsement and all the work you’ve done to support Bill Halter since have sent shockwaves through Washington.
Now it’s time to make sure Democrats know Blanche Lincoln is only the beginning. We support Democrats with backbone, who lead with vision and who fight for core Democratic values. We’re working to elect not just any Democrat, but better Democrats.
PRIMARIES MATTER — SIGN THE PLEDGE SUPPORTING BETTER DEMOCRATS TODAY
DFA members know primaries matter because we have record of electing better Democrats.
In 2008, progressive champion Donna Edwards stood up to run against Bush Democrat Al Wynn and we stood with her. Together, we put her over the top and today she is one of the best progressive voices in Congress.We need more Democrats like Donna Edwards — Democrats who will stand with Americans over big insurance, and who will lead with the courage of their convictions.
HELP REFORM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY — TAKE THE PLEDGE NOW
Working together, we’ll reform the Democratic Party from the grassroots up.
Thank you for everything you do.
