Donate To Daylin Leach For A Chance To Win Neil Young Platinum Record
You can't win if you don't play.
When I talked with Daylin about it, I thought he was going to ask me to give it to him instead! "As a boy trying to find my way, I found myself mesmerized by the social activism of songs like 'Ohio,' 'After the Goldrush,' 'Southern Man' and 'Ambulance Blues.' Neil Young showed me the power of music and words to change the world. I thought if Neil has something this profound to say, maybe I have something important to say too. I doubt that I'd ever have accomplished what I have without Neil Young showing me what was possible."
Powerful stuff, especially when you consider what Daylin has been up to as a state senator. He's been taking on tough issues that most politicians are afraid to get anywhere near-- from legalizing marijuana and pushing marriage equality to labeling genetically engineered food. He's been a major opponent in the state legislature of Republican efforts to privatize and voucherize public education and has been one of the leading voices against GOP efforts at voter suppression. He supports the Grayson Takano No Cuts approach to dealing with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. "At a time when corporate profits, executive compensation, the stock market and wealth disparity are at near record highs, it is obscene to even consider balancing our budget on the backs of seniors and veterans," he told us. "I fully supported President Obama's election, but I can't support any drift towards corporatism to appease tea-party extremists... Republicans are, on a daily basis, showing their complete indifference to the poor, kids, the elderly and public safety as they not only perpetuate sequestration, but gloat about it. The clock ticks as America waits for some actual human beings with a soul to emerge from the Republican caucus."
Have you seen Daylin's Liberal Lion campaign video? If you had any doubts why we've endorsed Daylin in this primary, I assure you the clip will bring light to the question.
