This is an email I just got from Norman Solomon. Please vote this time, if just for this one candidate. Join this grassroots movement, please.

Dear Peggy,
The Pacific Sun just endorsed me for Congress (https://images.myngp.com/LinkTracker.aspx?crypt=IVi0ax2%2b6UBSinc%2fCPYaKTILuxOLfYjnCJ8uOhjIETmqwY9B%2fUjIXCiVpE%2f8bU2A4L%2bFMCxXO1F3O7UE1%2bbhos0EnFcN7uzVfOKisDm%2bfc0tVeQcI %2fmyNT%2fNdbbslXiyYwtvSHzstsh0X6GSG1XISzW6kBq3tGRLjWiqkg8p897EMfQDCGH45eDPwCGAP%2fUeihxjv7gF2j01fg8SJBRpEw%3d%3d).
In its endorsement editorial, the newspaper declared:
"Norman Solomon hasn't held elective office, but the Inverness author/political activist is a good bet to know as much or more about the workings of Washington than the other 11 candidates. He's written several books about national media and politics and has divided his progressive-Democrat efforts between the national stage (he touts his work with Congressman John Conyers, D-Mich., for the Healthcare Not [Warfare] campaign) and the local level (co-chair of the Green New Deal for the North Bay). He's a low-key, almost bookish candidate who has such media-meets-politics heavy hitters as Sean Penn, Phil Donahue and Elliot Gould campaigning for him."
And:
"Solomon, despite his lack of legislative experience, could be the most Ready for Eastern Standard Prime Time Player in the group. We don't see any of the candidates compromising core political values—but Solomon seems as though he'd not only hold close such issues as single-payer, women's health and the environment, but also be able to keep them in the national media spotlight. (Google his campaign website to view a 2007 CNN clip of Solomon schooling Glenn Beck about the corporate-owned media.) Solomon was an early critic of the Iraq war and even made post-9/11 visits to both that country and Afghanistan. To some degree, one could say Solomon has the most experience working with Congress—he just hasn't been working IN Congress. Salon.com (https://images.myngp.com/LinkTracker.aspx?crypt=IVi0ax2%2b6UBSinc%2fCPYaKdsUC%2b7YM7yz56q0Mnk80uJmNRY%2b5jqgyfvReuUu0oNmHmJrkr0biS6QtO7nLmTgeobysO%2f0a%2bQ6NtR6N5Tymt%2fPgkjqr AE%2fTQgKK1eDzRi9pOhPANIV7p%2bof%2fuscrxN%2fXzRa5YgQKED0Y%2fe7z85dsioqlcdBLOfaf09KOwXw4gf) lists him as one of three non-frontrunner congressional candidates in the country who deserve attention. We think of all the candidates Solomon, if given the chance, could grab more of a national spotlight for 2nd District concerns; he could—could—become a prominent member in the House.
"We recommend Norman Solomon."
