We fight in Congress  . . . and you just signed a no war pledge.

Marcy Winograd has been an organized, genuine, hard working, committed and passionate activist in the Anti-War movement, Healthcare Reform movement and other progressive efforts to authentically restore the People's voice to national government. Marcy received close to 38% of the vote in the 2006 primary and over 41% when she ran against Jane Harman in last summer's June 8th primary.

Marcy Winograd is an authentic voice that voters are hungry for in these cynical and hard economic times.

But what will we do with all our weapons if we don't have any wars?
