Through the help of such organizations as Progressive Democrats of America, Democracy for America and MoveOn, right wing Democrats are having their heads handed to them. Case in point was the overwhelming defeat last week of Albert R. Wynn to Donna Edwards in Maryland. Now we have a similar chance to do it all over again in Iowa by supporting Ed Fallon. You can help by clicking on the link below and contributing $20.08 or whatever you can:
Last Tuesday, our Primaries Matter campaign delivered results and helped lead Donna Edwards to a resounding 24-point victory over Bush-Democrat Al Wynn in MD-04.
Ed Fallon is the next DFA-List endorsement and he’s taking on Bush-Democrat, Rep. Leonard Boswell in IA-03.
Contribute $20.08 right now and support a Democrat with the backbone to stand up for progressive values.

/supported Ed Fallon is a true progressive and he has a record of beating out-of-touch Democrats in Iowa. In 1992, he beat 10-year incumbent Gary Sherzan with 63% of the vote and became a State Representative. When the conservative party establishment tried to primary Ed out of the state legislature, Ed won again with 68% of the vote.
Now, with your help, Ed will beat Bush-Democrat Leonard Boswell. Here’s a breakdown of some of the important differences between them.
| Where do they stand on… | Ed Fallon | Leonard Boswell |
| The War in Iraq: | opposed Bush’s war from the start and believes we need a more diplomatic approach to foreign policy, not just in Iraq but throughout the Middle East | voted for the Iraq War and has continued to support additional funding with no timetable to bring the troops home |
| Campaign Funding: | has never accepted money from lobbyists | accepts donations from lobbyists |
| Spying on Americans: | opposes Bush’s warrantless wiretapping of innocent Americans | voted for increased warrantless surveillance on the American people |
| The Climate Crisis: | supports a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants and has lead the fight against government handouts to big business in Iowa | voted to provide $14 billion in tax breaks and incentives for oil and gas companies and supports greater use of coal |
| No Child Left Behind: | is against this unfunded, ineffective Bush-mandate, and will work to get it repealed | voted for it and did not fund it or attempt to repeal it |
DFA members are already on the ground working on Ed’s campaign. Let’s back them up with the power of our national community. Contribute $20.08 right now and help DFA elect a progressive Congress.
Now if we can just get rid of our very own Bush-dog Dem.
