Time to get on board

I feel it is vital that we voters elect Neil Makhija and support the new progressive movement within the Democratic Party if we want to end the current unproductive state of politics in Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. Neil has pledged to be an "independent voice … fighting for us" and not merely doing what he is told to do by "party leadership." Also, he has stated he intends to work with progressives "on both sides of the aisle."

For the well-being of our state and country, I believe it is imperative we break up the partisan gridlock in Harrisburg and Washington by getting rid of the obstructive incumbents and electing new independent progressives such as Neil Makhija.
