Before working for the UN he served as an officer in the US Marines and as a ballistic missile adviser to General Schwarzkopf in the first Gulf war. He joins a growing list of grassroots supporters and internationally acclaimed experts who recognize the importance of Marcy Winograd's candidacy. Former president of the ACLU of Southern California, STEPHEN ROHDE is a civil liberties lawyer and political activist. Since 9/11 he has assessed the growing threats to constitutional rights at home and human rights abroad. He has spoken and written widely on how the Bush administration has exercised unprecedented executive powers in violation of the Constitution and international law, amounting to "high crimes and misdemeanors." President of Progressive Democrats of Los Angles, MARCY WINOGRAD is running for Congress to replace pro-war incumbent Jane Harman in the 36th District. When elected, Winograd will vote to cut funding for the war in Iraq and bring the troops home now. "I am running for Congress with a great sense of urgency," says Winograd, "because we stand on the precipice of losing our democracy and plunging the world into another war -- this time in Iran. We must stop the next war before it happens." Winograd worked with Assemblyman Paul Koretz to draft a resolution calling for a moratorium on depleted uranium in US weapons systems. Working with grassroots Democratic Clubs throughout the state, Winograd also crafted an anti-war resolution passed at the California Democratic Party convention last year. Winograd's opponent, Jane Harman, sat on the House Intelligence Committee during the run-up to the war and ignored objections raised by intelligence analysts who said reports that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction were "highly dubious."
