What an honor! Thank you, PDA members. With your help, we’re that much closer to defeating Eric Cantor. The official announcement on the National Progressive Democrats of America website reads:
Wayne received the local 7th District local chapter endorsement in October. In addition to a local endorsement, candidates seeking National endorsement must also be endorsed by the state. PDA Virginia emailed a questionnaire to their membership; PDA Virginia voted to endorse Wayne Powell.

I was honored to attend the 55th Annual Celebration of the Richmond Crusade for Voters, where Dr. William Ferguson Reid received the founders award. The Crusade for Voters was founded in 1956 as an effort to register African American voters.
In addition to being first African-American surgeon in Richmond, Dr. Reid was the first African American elected (1967) to the General Assembly in the 20th Century.
He led the struggle to desegregate medical educational associations and societies in Virginia, which enabled African American doctors to attain crucial surgical privileges at hospitals.

As the recession has deepened and economic growth has remained minimal, it’s obvious that the policies of laissez faire economics and cutting governmental spending will not create jobs or stimulate the economy. It’s time to tighten regulations in the economic areas that brought about the recession of 2008.
In addition, the Department of Justice should aggressively pursue any Wall Street official who committed criminal fraud damaging the people and the economy of the US through the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
