Elect Kshama Sawant as WA state US House Rep. to replace retiring Jim McDermott

The Issue

We urge Seattle City Councilwoman, Kshama Sawant, to announce her Independent run for the soon empty congressional seat vacated by US Congress House of Representatives WA state Congressman Jim McDermott. We desperately need the bold, courageous, progressive voice of Kshama Sawant in our US Congress House of Representatives, to fight corporate GOP and neoliberal Democrats, as a friend, fellow democratic socialist colleague of Bernie Sanders, in order to push future President Bernie Sanders' progressive, bold agenda through Congress into law. We would also recommend Kshama to chair the Congressional Progressive Caucus that Bernie helped found decades ago. Run, Kshama, run! We urge you to consider running for this important position. We would miss you enormously in Seattle and WA state of course, but imagine what Kshama could do for the NATION, after all she's done for Seattle in the few shorts years serving on Seattle City Council, making an historical record for being the first socialist on Seattle City Council in over 100 years. 15 now, fight for Rent Control, and so many other battles that Kshama has fought and is still fighting everyday for everyday people like you and me, fighting giant corporations, Wall Street, the 1%. We highly encourage and plead to Kshama to run for US House of Representative Congresswoman from WA, as an INDEPENDENT (much as Bernie Sanders in his run for US House of Representatives Congressman from Vermont in 1990) to replace retiring Congressman Jim McDermott. We, the hundreds of thousands, millions even, of Bernie grassroots supporters, organizers, activists, fans, voters in this revolutionary movement support Kshama in this important decision to run for US Congress. We promise to work tirelessly, as we do for Bernie, to ensure that if Kshama runs, she WINS! In solidarity, Grassroots Bernie for President activists, organizers, volunteers, fans, voters NATIONWIDE, millions strong. www.berniecentralhq.us
