Pathetic. Nauseating. Desperate. Pick your favorite, but these all apply to the anti-partisan group No Labels’ effort to prop up conservative Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski as he faces a progressive primary challenger, Marie Newman. One of No Labels’ super PACs, United for Progress, has sent out the mailer above trying to link Lipinski to former President Barack Obama. Here’s the thing: Lipinski refused to endorse Obama in 2012—when Obama was a sitting president from Lipinski’s party and, indeed, from Lipinski’s home state of Illinois. United for Progress has spent nearly $750,000 boosting Lipinski, who opposed the Affordable Care Act, marriage equality, and the DREAM Act, is vehemently anti-choice, voted to weaken Wall Street reform, and only came out for a $15 minimum wage when he lost a major union endorsement over it. This while representing a congressional district where Hillary Clinton got 55 percent of the vote in 2016. Lipinski’s challenger, Marie Newman, has been endorsed by Daily Kos, EMILY’s List, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, the SEIU Illinois State Council, Human Rights Campaign, and more. The primary is on March 20. Please give $3 to help Marie Newman beat Blue Dog Dan Lipinski and No Labels’ disgusting tactics. The primary is March 20! Read more
