He'll be on CBS News Channel 12, WBNG-TV and Fox 40, WICZ. It's a beautiful day in Binghamton!

Just last night Jonathan was endorsed by DFLI, the Long Island chapter of Democracy for America. Their announcement states: "We were very favorably impressed by him when he came to visit us. He is right on our issues."

Our thanks to the DFLI.

Momentum is growing for the Tasini campaign and the endorsements keep rolling in. Jonathan was just endorsed by the Erie County PDA and dfaRochester. In NYC two local Democratic clubs, the Samuel J. Tilden Democratic Club and the Gramercy Stuyvesant Independent Democrats, opted for no endorsement rather than support the incumbent.

The Tasini campaign is honored by these endorsements. It's gratifying to see these important organizations standing up on principle to support the candidate who represents their views.

Tasini camp blasts Clinton for moving to the center

Jonathan Tasini, a Democrat seeking to wage a primary challenge to U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, biked into Albany last Tuesday as part of his “Ride for Peace” to the state Democratic convention.

Tasini has centered his long shot bid to unseat the first-term senator around ending the war in Iraq, which Clinton originally voted for and has since steadfastly supported her stance on, despite massive public outcry against the country’s military involvement.

Actress and Activist Susan Sarandon has endorsed Jonathan's Senate campaign.

“I am deeply honored to have Susan Sarandon as a supporter,” Jonathan says. “She has been a passionate advocate for human rights, justice and civil liberties and she has never wavered when the call has come for people to stand on the front lines in support of progressive principles that affect the lives of so many people in our country.”

Sarandon joins a long list of prominent women who have endorsed Tasini, including Barbara Ehrenreich, Medea Benjamin, actress Frances Fisher and Academy Award-winning documentarian Barbara Kopple.
