Blog Entry from The Daily Gotham

Brother of 9/11 victim running for state senator in Oklahoma

Andrew Rice just posted this at Daily Kos :: Comments 9/11 Family Member Running for Office]:

...I'm tired of getting angry at the vitriolic noise from the far-right of the GOP. Rove's comments are the words of a desperate, dying beast. No more petitions and angry calls to your GOP members of Congress asking them to distance themselves from the likes of Rove. Most of them will not do it, and it does not accomplish anything. There are limits to our advocacy from the outside. Instead, give to the DNC, give to the DCCC, give to moveon.org.......

I'm done just yelling from the margins, I'm running for "a seat at the table". I'm running for State Senate here in Oklahoma. My Campaign Website Don't just complain from the outside, let's get Reform Democrats elected. -Andrew Rice

Go leave him a nice thank you. I think this is amazing. In fact, in announcing his candidacy, I learned something new today : the September 11th Peaceful Tomorrow was nominated for a Nobel Peace Price :

[via Andrew Rice for Oklahoma]:

Andrew is member of the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows steering committee, and has worked tirelessly over the past 3 years as a proponent for a legal, humane, and rational response to attacks of September 11th, 2001. Peaceful Tomorrows was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 and 2004. Andrew has spoken in 15 states, and in South Africa, and has been interviewed by the BBC, CBC, MSNBC, Fox News, and has written op-ed columns for the Oklahoma Gazette. Andrew was awarded the 2004 Angie Debo Civil Libertarian of the Year Award from the ALCU of Oklahoma. Andrew is also on the board of The People's Opinion Project.
