PDA Endorses Howard Shanker in Arizona

On June 26, Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) endorsed Howard Shanker in Arizona's 1st Congressional District. Shanker is running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Rick Renzi, the Congressman indicted earlier this year for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other federal violations.

An attorney who works mainly on cases involving the environment, natural resources and Native American rights, Shanker is committed to protecting the communities of CD 1 and has a long-held record of advocacy in this area. He stands for honest and effective representation, an energy policy based on sound science, single-payer healthcare, and complete withdrawal from Iraq. This is Shanker's first run at the seat.

Sign Petition for Bill

to End Funding of The War

The PDA has just endorsed a resolution in Congress to cut the funds for the Iraq War. We hope you will join us in signing the linked petition from Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) supporting HR 4232: http://pdamerica.org/petition/mcgovern-petition.php

Democrats.com has been working with PDA organizing support for HR 4232 since Rep. McGovern introduced this important bill in November of 2005.

Listen to Rep McGovern live from Camp Democracy: Click here: http://www.pluggd.com/episodes/rep_mcgovern_live_from_camp_democracy

Congress has appropriated more than $300 billion for U.S. military operations in Iraq. Simply stated in monetary terms, we are spending $8 billion per month in Iraq with no end in sight. That's $2 billion per week, or $267 million per day, or $11 million per hour.

Small wonder that 60% of the American people are opposed to current U.S. policy in Iraq.
