Senate candidate Sestak fund-raising for Dem. Supreme Court candidates.

Here's the email I just received from Admiral Joe Sestak. It's really important & worthwhile with this fall's historic election for Pennsylvania's State Supreme Court. Please consider contributing to these candidates. With a Democratic majority, the makeup of our Supreme Court can be a rare counterweight to the gerry-mandering of our legislative districts. Worth passing along to other PA Dems.

Nancy,

I know you might think this is a little different that I’m asking you to contribute to someone else, but we have here in Pennsylvania a once in 311-year opportunity:

For the first time since 1704, there are three vacancies on Pennsylvania’s highest court – and all three vacancies will be filled on November 3rd election by "We the People" through our vote.

When William Penn established Pennsylvania’s court system, he did so with the promise that justice would not be “sold, denied, nor delayed” and that people “of all persuasions” would have access to “open” courts. Today, we must continue that legacy.

With three of seven seats up for election this year, we have a chance to elect men and women committed to safeguarding Pennsylvanians’ public health, worker protections, environmental quality, and equal access to justice.

Please, be sure to vote in the November 3rd election, and also consider contributing to the campaigns of these three qualified candidates:

Judge Kevin Dougherty

There is much at stake in my 2016 race, Nancy, but 2015 is vitally important as well. I’ll see you at the polls on November 3rd!

Warmly,
Joe
