I'm trying to gain support for a progressive candidate running for US House Indiana District 09. The candidate is Gretchen Clearwater. Gretchen faces an uphill battle as she will be running in the primary against the incumbent Baron Hill. Baron continues to support the War in Iraq and was prepared to vote agaomst the SCHIP bill which would provide health care to children by taxing tobacco. After a public outcry, he changed his vote. Can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jon Jackson
