Pro-war Democrats must go

At this point defeating Bush Democrats should be near the top of our agenda - while still reserving the right to support independent candidates - Dan

"You may have heard the buzz about Ned Lamont challenging pro-Bush Sen.Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary this year.

"Ned is considering running because, like most Connecticut Democrats, he is tired of being represented by a senator who won't stand up to the President on the war — and on the rest of his extreme right-wing agenda which is so harmful to our country.

"Ned Lamont is a successful businessman who understands the importance of health care and education to our economy. He will fight for universal health care and to bring all U.S. schools into the 21st Century. He believes the federal government should stay out of people's private lives and stop spying on its own citizens. He would push for energy conservation and bio fuels as better alternatives than the liquefied natural gas plant in Long Island Sound. And he would demand that corrupt public officials be held accountable for their actions.

"The polls show that Connecticut Democrats are ready for a change, but the entrenched interests behind Joe Lieberman are going to fight tooth and nail and pour millions of dollars into this race. To win, Ned Lamont will need volunteers working hard in every city and town — and will need thousands more people pledging to contribute financially as well."
