Dear Daily Kos Community/Kogs/Kosters/Kossacks, etc.,
Like so many of you, I’ve had enough of people like Joe Lieberman hijacking health care reform. Four years ago, it was the voters who put him back in office – a decision I suspect many are regretting.
Unfortunately, there’s more than one "Lieberman" in Congress. My Blue Dog opponent Jane Harman is the Lieberman of the House – priding herself on her ties to war profiteers and Big Pharma – all the while pretending to be a liberal.
Help me replace Jane Harman in the Democratic Caucus and get the word out to my district, where Democratic registration leads by 17 percentage points: Click here to join my campaign to elect a real Democrat in a safe Democratic seat.
Harman is the Lieberman of the House – playing progressive when it suits her interests, but then turning her back on the people who need her during key votes.
In her own words, from a previous election:
"I was flattered to be introduced in the last election as the best Republican in the Democratic primary."
I can win this race. In 2006, I ran a last-minute campaign against Harman, built mostly on grass-roots efforts – and still took almost 38% of the vote.
Click here to join my campaign – and the broader outreach that we need to get the word out to primary voters that:
• Harman voted to protect the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of patients - making it more difficult for breast cancer patients to buy affordable generics.
• Harman voted against the bill that would have permitted judges to reduce mortgage payments in bankruptcy courts.
• Harman voted to protect and bail out the big banks while supporting legislation that made it more difficult for consumers to declare bankruptcy.
• Harman applauded Bush's illegal wiretapping program; three years later she claimed she never supported it.
• Harman lobbied for the Iraq invasion and occupation while personally investing in military contractors.
Unlike my opponent, I am a life-long anti-war leader, community advocate, and teacher committed to preparing our youth for jobs in the New Green economy.
You don’t have to live in Lieberman’s district to see the value in defeating him. Likewise, Democrats throughout the country can help us clean house, and send Jane Harman packing. Let's work together to show the mainstream media and others that we are a race to watch.

I'm Marcy Winograd and I'm challenging Blue Dog corporate Democrat Jane Harman in the June 8, 2010 Democratic Party primary. In 2006, when I jumped into the race just three months before the primary, I mobilized almost 38% of the vote.
