Nancy Skinner Takes Close Second in DFA Grassroots All-Star Contest

Nancy Skinner, Democratic Congressional candidate from Michigan's Ninth District, with your help placed second and nearly won DFA's contest for grassroots all-stars. She's posted the following message on her site:

"First I want to thank you for your support of me in Democracy for America's Grassroots All-Star Contest these past two weeks. We were told by DFA that at the end the voting was very close but that we took second place to Jerry McNerney from California's 9th Congressional District. I want to congratulate Jerry and wish him the best of luck as he continues in his campaign. The good news is that the U.S. Supreme Court played no role in the decision of the close count and we are thrilled that we had so many supporters nationwide! Special thanks to our friends at Democrats.com, Buzzflash, The Ostroy Report, Michigan Liberal and so many bloggers who worked hard for us."

A Portrait of a Progressive Congressman
By David Swanson

Congressman Jim McDermott became involved in politics through his opposition to the Vietnam war. He came to Washington 17 years ago hoping to create national health coverage. Instead he's spent much of his time opposing new wars and war crimes. McDermott's record on matters of peace and war is unsurpassed in the Congress. On the matter of impeachment, however, he has lost all interest - as has every incumbent Democrat since Leader Nancy Pelosi decreed that impeachment should be "off the table."

I sat down with Congressman McDermott on Monday to discuss the Iraq War and the possibilities for peace. He offered insights and lessons from history that we would all do well to bear in mind.

A Powerful New Book on Iraq to Be Released
Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran For Peace Reports from Iraq
By Mike Ferner, Foreword by Cindy Sheehan

Endorsement by David Swanson: "Americans oppose the war on Iraq in large numbers because they understand that it was based on lies. Anyone who reads Mike Ferner's account of the people in Iraq whose lives are being destroyed will change the way they talk about this war. They will call it wrong, criminal, something that could never have been done the right way, no matter how competently performed. If they learned what is in this book they would not simply oppose the war by telling pollsters they oppose it. They would do what some of the most courageous and principled among us are doing. They would follow Mike Ferner's example and put their own safety and liberty on the line repeatedly to end the killing. Ferner has told the stories that can change minds and sets the example that needs to be followed."
