Hello - i've been a member/reader for some time, but this is my first diary entry:
David Sanders is running for Congress in Indiana's fourth district ( http://www.sandersforcongress.org ). I know that Yossarian has posted several entries also concerned with the campaign, but with less than a month to go we are, of course, still accepting contributions and looking for volunteers. Few quick points of motivation:
# Dr. Sanders is running against Steve Buyer... If you're away of mr. buyer's record that should certainly be motivation enough.
(i.e. advocating the use of tactical nuclear strikes in Afghanistan, calling soldiers who join the army for educational reasons "paintywaists", pretending to be called on active duty for the iraq war)
# David has promised to never take campaign contributions from a company related to a board on which he sits. (Unlike Mr.buyer whose number one contributor, SBC, is very much involved with the Subcommittee on telecommunications and the internet, of which he sits.)
# He has recently returned from Russia where his bio-defense expertise garnered an invitation to participate in the Biological Weapons Proliferation Prevention Program.
# His main concern is that of affordable/national health care.
Thank you for your time. For further reading/ to donate please visit his website at http://www.sandersforcongress.org
