VOTE NOVEMBER 3rd 2009!!! 

It is critical that progressive people get out and vote this year.  State-wide Judicial races will dominate this years elections. We all have seen in California, Massachusetts, & Vermont how state courts play a critical role in upholding the constitutional rights of LGBT people to receive equal treatment under the law.  The candidates who ultimately win on November 3rd 2009 will shape Pennsylvania for the next decade!!!

SPECIAL NOTE on the 2009 Pittsburgh Mayoral Race:  Because the Steel-City endorsement process is member driven and new Independent candidates came forward for the Pittsburgh Mayoral race after we had completed our member endorsement vote, the board is not endorsing a specific candidate for the race.  We are, however, endorsing an informed electorate and encourage all to review the responses to key questions which the board received from candidates Kevin Acklin, Doc Harris and Luke Ravenstahl.   The questionnaires are posted on our website and can be easily located by clicking here: http://stonewalldemocrats.org/steel-city/node/922   

 

We hope you find the information the responses provide both interesting and helpful to your decision about the Mayor's race.

Governor’s race between

Governor’s race between incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican challenger Chris Christie has been one of the nastiest in the nation. The non-gay press really hasn’t covered LGBT issues in the race. PGN reached out to Christie early in the campaign. He wouldn’t personally talk to a gay newspaper, but his spokesperson told us he’s opposed to gay marriage. Corzine, on the other hand, has campaigned on the issue publicly. While Christie hasn’t attended any gay events, Corzine headlined the Garden State Equality Dinner. One candidate runs from us, the other embraces us. It’s clear where our votes should go: Jon Corzine.
