Jonathan and supporters will be marching in the PRIDE Parade Sunday in NYC. Come join us to march or to gather petition signatures - 11:30 AM between 5th and 6th Avenues on 56th Street. If you have questions or need help finding us call 646.415.8361.

Tune into WNYC tonight (AM 820) to hear Jonathan on The Conversation commenting on today's Iraq War vote in the Senate. He will be joined by Peter Beinart, editor of the New Republic.

An article from this week’s New York Magazine found that Senator Clinton has accepted free rides on private Lockheed Martin jets at least five times in the last five years. Clinton sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee which recently gave Lockheed Martin a $1.7 billion defense contract to build presidential helicopters in upstate New York. Additionally, last year, Lockheed’s PAC gave the maximum allowable donation of $5,000 to Clinton.

Is a Senator who accepts donations and gifts from the world's largest defense contractor the person we want representing us on the Armed Services Committee in Congress?

Yesterday Jonathan joined over 300 peace activists in a protest at the US Merchant Marine Academy where Bush was scheduled to give the commencement speech. The campaign was greeted with enthusiasm and, with help from some of our Long Island volunteers, we were able to gather hundreds of petition signatures to get Jonathan on the ballot.

We encourage you to contact us if you’d like to invite Jonathan to an event that you know about or are helping to organize.

A Hillary Defeat in Brooklyn

Brooklyn City Councilman Bill de Blasio, a seasoned political operative, may be smarting today. He made an appearance before a local Democratic organization in his Brooklyn district on Thursday night to urge members to endorse his old boss, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Mr. de Blasio managed Mrs. Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign before running for a Council seat.) But in a public rebuff, the group, the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats, instead endorsed Jonathan Tasini, the antiwar activist who is in the process of collecting the signatures he needs to enter the Democratic primary against Mrs. Clinton.
