Anne Dicker's TV ad

Earlier today, I received an e-mail from Anne Dicker's campaign about her first television commercial. Check out the YouTube version of it above to take a look.

Anne is running for Pennsylvania State Senate in Philadelphia's First District, and as I've mentioned before, my wife and I are giving our unqualified support and votes to her. She's running against the smarmy John Dougherty, who represents the "Philly way" in politics of 25 or 30 years ago. Recently, the incumbent, disgraced Sen. Vince Fumo announced that he is retiring, and that's the first step to cleaning up politics in Philadelphia. The next step is electing a smart, motivated, dedicated Progressive like Anne Dicker. Philly can ill-afford another state senator like Fumo, and that's precisely what Dougherty is; electing him will do nothing to cover up the stench of the Fumo era.

I'll be writing more about Anne in the coming days and weeks, but in the meantime, click on Anne's Website to learn more about her, and to donate money. Anne has a serious fight on her hands; big labor in Philly is tough to beat, but if anyone can do it, Anne can.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, she supports Barack Obama - another reason to give her your vote.

Please support her campaign in time and money - there's less than a month to go until the Democratic State Senate primary.
