MoveOn.PAC is now conducting a poll among its Pennsylvania members to determine what, if anything, the organization should do about the 2006 U.S. Senate seat now held by Rick Santorum.
Regardless of how you vote on-line, I simply hope you vote. This is an important opportunity to have your voice heard by a progressive organization with political bite.

By now, the issue and values differences between Bob Casey, Jr. and I should be clear. Indeed, the "choice is clear" on a host of issues--woman's right to choose, separation of church and state, universal health care, living wage, stem cell research, equal rights for gays and lesbians, the American War in Iraq, constitutional checks and balances (Terry Schiavo Bill), death penalty moratorium, and oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Beyond critical issue differences, people ask why am I running for Rick Santorum's Senate seat. And why am I running in the Democratic Party primary against a well-known Democrat like Bob Casey, Jr.? In short - because I believe in democracy, I believe in choice, I believe in fighting the right battles, I believe in myself -and I believe in you!
I believe I'm going to win - because I'm the only person talking about the things that matter most to you, to Pennsylvanians, and to Americans. And I'm the only Pennsylvania Democrat to come from a winning tradition in tough Senate races.
Unlike my rivals, I am running as a citizen-candidate, free from political consultants, political handlers, political pollsters,
political bosses, and special interest political action committee dollars.
I am a proud and progressive Democrat, committed to rebuilding and revitalizing our Party without COMPROMISING our core beliefs in equality,
opportunity, and reform.
Why do I want to represent you in the Senate? Because, right now, you don't have representation. Corporations do. Special interests do. The radical right does.
Working together, fighting together, we will restore your voice...across Pennsylvania, across the U.S, and across the world.
Again, please register your vote in the MoveOn poll for the 2006 Pennsylvania Senate race.
