The 2010 Pennsylvania Democratic primary race between former Republican
convert, Senator Arlen Specter, and Rep. Joe Sestak is shaping up to be
one of the marquee races of 2010, and a fight that will shape the course
of the Democratic party.

Recorded at the annual Netroots Nation conference, The Nation’s Ari Melber
and Pennsylvania blogger Susie Madrak moderate the first forum between
the two candidates, on issues ranging from climate change to health care
reform to bi-partisanship in the Senate.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
