If you're reading this blog, odds are that you're going to cast your ballot for Barack Obama. It's time for a change in Washington, and it's time to defeat the rightwing movement that stands in the way of everything that's good and right in America.

If you vote for Obama in New York, consider voting for him on the Working Families Party ballot line at Row E. The reason is simple: WFP has been at the forefront of Progressive change for a decade, and your vote on their line - which will be a part of Obama's statewide total for Electoral College purposes - will be a vote in support of WFP's agenda: universal healthcare, fair taxation, good wages, better schools, safer neighborhoods.

Many people, including myself, have had occasional disagreements with WFP. But overall, if we didn't have them, they'd need to be invented. There is no more consistent, and consistently effective, voice for the working people of this state, and they've earned the support of everyone interested in the fate of the working and middle class. So, please show them some love by voting their ballot line. More information is here; take a look.
