and while we're at it, why not also defeat such unworthy Republicans like (Ayn) Rand Paul, Kelly "Drill New Hampshire" Ayotte and Charlie "I Love Oil" Crist.
Peanut Butter PAC is proud to have donated $250 to North Carolina Democratic Primary winner Elaine Marshall who has the support of Democracy For America and great Kossacks like Jennifer Brunner going into June 22nd's runoff.
Peanut Butter PAC also congratulates Iowa Democratic Nominee Roxanne Conlin. She has polled within eight points of Chuck Grassley, who has been polling under 50%. More content after the jump...
Kossack Jennifer Brunner recently posted a diary on why Elaine Marshall is a great candidate to get behind and support.

Richard Burr and Chuck Grassley are both quite vulnerable this year, and we have the chance to support two great progressive candidates that will fight for the people rather than Wall Street, and we get to stick it to the Republicans. That is win-win.
Peanut Butter PAC has eight principles that guide who we pick to support:
- To support job creation with good pay and benefits, to protect and preserve good jobs for the American people, and to support and defend the rights of all Americans to organize and participate in Labor Unions.
2. To promote and support a sustainable and environmentally friendly Energy Policy that will lead America away from the unsustainable consumption of fossil fuels and our dependence on foreign energy sources.
3. To curtail the use of torture as a policy and practice of the United States of America, and for legal accountability for the use of torture, focused on those leaders who approved its use. Anything we've prosecuted people for in the past is a crime and should be treated as such.
4. To rebuild America’s outdated and depreciated infrastructure and transportation systems.
5. To support and defend the civil rights of all Americans, as defined by the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America and envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, regardless of race, religion, ethnic heritage, gender, or sexual orientation.
6. To promote and support quality health care for all Americans through reforms and policies such as, but not limited to, Medicare for All.
7. To promote and support America’s public education system and education reforms that bear in mind the best interests of the American people.
8. To fight Corporate and Special Interests influence in Government by supporting and defending Campaign Finance Reform and supporting and advocating on behalf of Publicly Funded Elections.
