Only about 20% of eligible voters vote in the primaries. If we want candidates that will fight for our interests, we need to do more than simply voting Democrat in the general elections.

I’ve been using the following sites to find candidates that aren’t taking AIPAC money and are focused on supporting the working class:

    We also have to get involved. Our congressman, who takes hundreds of thousands from AIPAC and lives outside the area he represents, ran unopposed because I didn't find out he didn't have a challenger until it was too late to file. Local Dems should have been ready to pounce on him but nada. Had I been more involved, might have been able to primary him. At least make him go on the record about where he lives and the Israel money.
