Today, in Politico and the Philly Inquirer the Progressive Change Campaign Committee announced a Grassroots Straw Poll in partnership with Daily Kos, Democracy for America, The Pennsylvania Progressive, Afro-Netizen, Digby, OpenLeft, CrooksandLiars, The Seminal, The Young Turks, and others.
The Straw Poll Question: "Should a Draft Sestak movement be created to take on Sen. Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary?"
You can cast your vote here.
Until now, political insiders have attempted to clear the field for Specter.
This Straw Poll is about giving the grassroots a meaningful voice in the primary process and seeing if any consensus exists about the most talked-about potential challenger, Representative and retired admiral Joe Sestak.
On the Straw Poll site are arguments for and against drafting Sestak -- written by Pennsylvania and national progressives. If thousands of us vote, the results could easily affect Sestak's decision and impact the environment of this race.
You can vote at SestakPoll.com. Please rec and spread the word!
