There is something truly phenomenal going on in San Francisco! (turn the sound on)
http://www.shirley08.com/donations_radio.php

There is something truly phenomenal going on in San
Francisco. A
political novice by the name of Shirley Golub has the
Speaker of the
House, Nancy Pelosi, running scared, afraid that if
she agrees to
debate the challenger she will not be able to defend
her record of
capitulation, afraid the voters of the 8th
congressional district
will no longer make excuses for political cowardice .
. . just
afraid.

And that's exactly the way Shirley Golub called it
last week, when
she called Nancy Pelosi out for being a political
coward, using those
exact words. Listen to the radio ad they are all
talking about for
yourself.

And then if you are tired of being lied to, of being
told our
representatives are doing the best they can, when you
know in your
heart they are doing nothing even such as that, please
consider
making a donation to Shirley Golub, who has the
courage to call it
just the way she sees it.

With the revelations that directives to torture came
straight from
the White House, in excruciating detail, from meeting
of the
principals at the highest level, it is a national
disgrace that
Congress has not already commenced impeachment
hearings, of the Vice
President who presided over it all, and the absentee
President who
now admits he knew about the whole thing.

What are we to call this but the most abject
cowardice? Why would we
believe that anything would change by electing more
cowards cut from
the same cloth? If Congress is incapable of standing
up for itself
now, why would be believe that under some subsequent
administration
they would acquit themselves with any actual valor?

And yet there are now those trying to make a
controversy out of
telling the truth, when the real controversy is all
the lies. There
are those who would try to make a scandal out of
confronting scandal,
when the real scandal is those who are too frightened
to expose it.

So listen to Shirley Golub's new radio spot again, and
ask yourself
if there is even a single word she speaks that is not
the straight
unadulerated truth. And if her words ring true to your
own ears, then
please make a contribution so that Shirley can put
this ad on every
radio station in her district.

Pelosi Afraid Ad:

How far must we go down the wrong road before we
understand that the
only salvation is to turn back, while there is still
time? A
compelling majority want immediate impeachment
hearings. But still
Congress will not listen. Nancy Pelosi deludes
herself, and tries to
delude us, into thinking that elections can be won on
a platform of
running away from the biggest issues of our time. She
must be removed
now. And we can do it on June 3, by supporting the one
candidate with
true courage in the Democratic party primary, Shirley
Golub.

Now that we have proof that the bad apples on torture
and everything
else were at the very top of the barrel, those apples
must be removed
and swiftly. If such crimes were to come to light on
the very last
day of a presidential term, it would be the duty of
Congress to act
that very day. The integrity of our Democracy demands,
our
Constitution demands it, and WE the people demand it.

And a victory for Shirley Golub on June 3 means that
no member of
Congress can every ignore the voices of their
constituents again.
Won't you help while there is still so much time left
to get it done?

Paid for by Shirley Golub for Congress

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories
that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as
possible.

2. I know this OP is really a campaign ad, but it's still worth noting that incumb's rarely if ever
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 09:24 AM by AP
debate anyone who isn't polling within striking distant, it has nothing to do with being afraid to debate the issues. It has to do with logic. Why spend time and resources doing that? There's so little to gain, and, even if the incumbent is better on the issues, he or she has more to lose.

6. I know, and it's symptomatic
of people who want to win no matter what vs. people who want to actually let we the people see where they stand. So it may be "logical," and it may be the way things are usually done, but I still call them out on it.
