San Franciscans in Dist 8: Will you put a sign up for Shirley?
Pm me if you can and I'll see about getting them delivered somehow!

Thanks,

Beth

10 REASONS WHY: SHIRLEY, not Nancy

1 - Shirley feels strongly it is essential for the current Congress to act now to bring articles of impeachment against both VP Cheney and George W. Bush, so the American public fully understands their illegal acts and puts pressure on our representatives in the House and the Senate to do the right thing to prevent further abuses.

2 - Shirley will vote faithfully in Congress to de-fund the war in Iraq so the troops can come home.

3 - Shirley will co-sponsor single-payer health care for all (H.R. 676).

4 - Shirley will work hard to have more jobs for workers here in the U.S. by canceling N.A.F.T.A. and other so-called free trade agreements, which just put American workers at a disadvantage.

5 - With a Masters degree in Education, Shirley strongly favors federal funding of pre-school thru community college education for all who want it.

6 - Shirley wants to abolish "No Child Left Behind", the educational act that forced teachers to teach to a test, but not necessarily for what their students need.

7 - Shirley supports environmentally friendly "green-collar" jobs for youth and others.

8 - Shirley will work for full inclusivity in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, regardless of race, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity.

9 - Shirley supports the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (H.R. 1246), and passage of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crime Act (S. 1105 and H.R. 1592).

10 - Shirley supports the International Violence Against Women Act (S. 2279), which would centralize U.S Policy into a new office to strengthen the protection of women and girls where we can have global influence.



VOTE EARLY (May 4th – June 3rd)—VOTE SHIRLEY

1. K&R -- I'm a huge Shirley fan
I'm not in her district, but I'll happily put up a sign or bumper sticker.

3. I'd love to see her beat Nancy
and then run against that other candidate in November. That would be a fun race. No matter who wins, we all win. :)

6. Thank you! I'll ask and see what the inventory is!
I'm so angry right now. I went with Code Pink to the teach ins at Nancy's office. I asked Dan Bernal how in the world she would measure if the so-called benchmarks had been met.

Even the effen' pretense of holding them accountable should the surge fail has now been dropped -- just as we knew it would be.

Shirley could use some support in being Nancy's prod. Help!

7. We really need some good signs for her
"Take Nancy off the Table"

"Impeach Pelosi"

"US Out of Iraq. Pelosi out of D.C."

"Vote for a REAL Democrat"

etc, etc, etc.

16. K&R
When I get my disability check on Wednesday I'll send a donation. It won't be very big, but every little bit helps.

I am glad to see her campaign take off and I hope she kicks some patootie. I am a long way from District 8 but am sending good thoughts.

25. I like that Shirley is getting up in Nancy's face.
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 12:45 AM by sfexpat2000
Lots of us sat very nicely in the cafeteria of the Federal Building with Pelosi's guy for weeks trying to get him to see that the Petraeus report was a pigment of the imagination, a transparent farce. We were cool. We were nice. We failed completely.

Basically what Nancy said to us was, f#ck off, I don't care what you think, I have more important things to do.

It was that measured a message. :sarcasm:

She seriously doesn't give a flying f#ck what this district thinks, wants or needs. Why should she - she's the incumbent.

Why should she.

:)

27. How is it going
I was going to use the google but I thought I would get better answers if I just asked the people who live in San Francisco. I sent her link to other progressives I know. Figured it couldn't hurt and might help her.

29. I have to check in with her tonight. Shirley is planning to
quarterback the next Beach Impreach -- I believe this month. That will be good for getting the campaign's message out. Beach Impeachers are on board, that's for sure! :hi:

Shirley is one busy candidate.
