Gwen Wilkinson, a fine progressive and excellent candidate, is in the race of her life today to take the position of the District Attorney in Tompkins County out from under the control of a "good old boy" corrupt DA, George Dentes.
The race is a clear choice: Do you want someone who knows how to use alternatives to incarceration effectively to save taxpayers money while properly addressing the issues of drug abuse, understands how to prosecute domestic violence and is fair? Do you want someone who knows the difference between crime and political dissent?
Or do we want someone who has slapped domestic violence cases on the wrist, made a federal case out of an anti-war protest, and has lied publicly in this campaign?
Dentes is a local person, with tons of family and lots of favors in his pocket. Gwen Wilkinson is a fair, impartial attorney with 16 years experience who will restore our trust.
We have a chance, if we can turn out the votes. If you are in Ithaca, NY, get on the phone and do this:
Call TEN for GWEN.
Get ten progressive people to get out and vote today. You would be amazed at how many people are simply not paying attention and are not voting.
