She’s for DC statehood. She’s for marriage equality. She’s for more public transportation and less parking tickets. She’s for community health care and unemployment help.
She’s against genocide. She’s against gender inequality. She’s against domestic and gang violence.
Most importantly, she’s about truth, using her patented "Lasso of Truth" to clean up DC and bring honesty to our city.
Wonder what the world (or city or politics in general) would be like under Wonder Woman? Check it out:
This is why I’m wholeheartedly endorsing Wonder Woman for mayor of DC. Click here to vote today.
Ok, so, this isn’t a real campaign. It’s a game, but an important one. This campaign is part of the New Organizing Institute’s Bootcamp program. Every year, NOI brings 60 dedicated and up-and-coming progressive organizers together for a week of intense training. Over the course of the week, they learn how to run a campaign by participating in a mock campaign.
This is what movement building is all about. NOI is training the next generation of progressive campaign workers – the people who’ll be out helping to elect better Democrats, pushing for progressive legislation, and building our movement for the long haul. This campaign may be fake, but this is really important work.
In a week, the Wonder Woman team built a website, started an email list, reached out on blogs, Twitter, and Facebook, and even built a get out the vote operation. It’s been a whirlwind week for them, but they’ve managed to turn their candidate into someone I’d like to see as mayor of DC. So, click here to vote for Wonder Woman today, and participate in NOI’s movement building.
P.S. If you agree with me, can you tweet about it? Tweet this:

All apologies to Wonder Woman, I’m sure she’s great, but I really don’t see how you can go wrong with a Jewish lesbian superhero like Batwoman.
I don’t mean to troll your comments, or re-ignite the primary wars, but still.

You’re just wrong.
Heh.
I think reasonable people can disagree over who to endorse in this primary. That said – lasso of truth? Invisible airplane? Wonder Woman is clearly the best of the field.

Sorry, but Sue Storm, the Invisible Girl has my vote. Her stands on the issues are quite clear: She fully supports transparency in government. And, unlike Flakewoman (secret identity Sarah Palin), she has promised not to disappear in the middle of her term.

well, the Morning Joe crew will vehemently disagree, but I like your case for Sue Storm as contrasted with Flakewoman

Yeah. They’re a tough room.
Congrats on the smooth switchover, BTW. In the midst of all the Internet malfunctions in the last month or so, FDL & The Seminal have managed to get it right. Kudos to your techno’s.
