It's Primary Day in Pennsylvania

Today is Election Day in Pennsylvania! Make sure you vote!

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. all throughout the state. And while this is an exciting day that will undoubtedly bring more Democrats to the polls than any other primary election in recent history, we should be very respectful at the polls to both sides and thank them for being so vocal and passionate about Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama.

Without a doubt, either of these stellar candidates will make a much better President of the United States than George W. Bush has, and either will be ready from day one to make the changes our nation needs. Senator Clinton or Senator Obama will assume their office ready to tackle ending the War in Iraq, improving our economy and lowering our exorbitant fuel prices.

Either candidate will make a much better candidate for President than Sen. John McCain, or as we refer to him, “the third Bush term.” He is a flawed candidate who is wrong on Iraq, wrong on the economy and wrong on health care for all Pennsylvanians. He has already shown to be wishy-washy and weak on immigration reform, campaign finance reform and the failed Bush tax cuts.

McCain’s record is the bad news. The good news is that once a nominee is secured, we will have more than 50,000 Neighborhood Leaders in place thanks to the DNC’s 50-State Partnership.

So after Pennsylvania and after the Democratic nominee emerges, our work as organizers and supporters must continue for the sake of our families, Pennsylvania and the nation. We need to unite behind him or her enthusiastically and ensure that we bring home a major victory for the Democratic Party.

--- Abe Amorós, Executive Director
