As the sole challenger to fellow Democrat Adam Schiff in the primary election, McCloskey believes that based on their votes, certain Democratic Party legislators, Schiff among them, bear responsibilities for the consequences of Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s war on Iraq. As a long time peace activist, McCloskey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s platform calls for the withdraw of US forces from Iraq. Domestically, he stands for national health insurance based on a single payer model. As a twenty-year labor activist, he calls for economic justice through a living wage for all work. Bob McCloskey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s campaign has been endorsed by Reverend James Lawson, Tom Hayden, the Progressive Democrats of America, and others. <\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.takingbackthehouse.org\">www.takingbackthehouse.org<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.impeachteam.org\">www.impeachteam.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Call 626-241-8848 to volunteer. <\/p>\n<p>There will be a candidates forum on Friday June 2nd at 7:30 pm, at the Scott United Methodist Church in Pasadena, 444 N.
