Only Removing Pelosi NOW Can Stop Congress From Lying Down Yet Again
Only Removing Pelosi NOW Can Stop Congress From Lying Down Yet Again

The latest indications are that Congress is determined to cave in yet
again to the constitutional criminals in the White House, still too
cowardly, even after 5 years of lies upon lies, war crimes upon war
crimes, to put their foot down on the endlessly escalating debacle in
Iraq. Not only are they talking about coughing up another 100 billion
of debt for our us, our children and our grandchildren, they are
talking about making it 170 billion.

Not even bothering with the fig leaf of meaningless so-called
benchmarks, apparently they are just planning to surrender without
even a token fight this time, as if this entire two year session of
Congress was just about kicking the will of the people down the road
like a can. If we believed for one second they would to ANYTHING to
stop the vain lunacy in Iraq we were played for total fools. Even now
they have total power to control the funding and they are still too
scared to exercise it.

But the good news is that there is something enormously effective we
can do to stop them in their cowardly tracks. And that is . . . to
defeat Nancy Pelosi in the Democratic primary in the 8th district of
California on June 3. There is absolutely NOTHING else that will have
any real impact at all, until we can demonstrate that even the
Speaker of the House can be removed within their own party if they
are perversely determined to be derelict in their duty to we the
people and our Constitution.

Remove Pelosi Ad: http://www.shirley08.com/donations_radio.php

On the page above you can listen to Shirley Golub's new radio ad,
where you can also make a donation on the same page to change the
course of American political history. Is it a controversial spot? You
bet it is. She calls Pelosi out as the political coward that Pelosi
is, using those exact words. Enough of the excuses. Enough of
apologizing for cowardice. Call the thing what it is. And that is
what Shirley Golub is doing.

This courageous woman is the ONLY competitor in the 8th district
Democratic primary on June 3 against Pelosi, and ONLY if Golub wins
can we stop the ruinous and indefensible occupation in the Middle
East, force impeachment hearings immediately, and everything else.
Only Pelosi's defeat will put such a fear of the electorate and their
revenge at the polls into the hearts of all gutless wonders who
presume to represent us. Those are the stakes.

We need to throw everything we've got into this primary election.
Please make the most generous donation you can to help get this radio
spot on every possible station in San Francisco.

For her part, Shirley Golub is standing strong as an amazing
candidate, showing her leadership in every possible way. She isn't
just talking about fighting on the issues, she's doing practical
organizing to rally the support of her constituents. She stepped up
to the plate to sponsor the upcoming Beach Impeach event this coming
Saturday, April 26 at Ocean Beach at 10:30 AM, where for the first
time we will spell out the words "IMPEACH BOTH!!!", in letters so big
you can see them from space.

Shirley Golub is also producing the new impeachment play as a full
theatrical production at a 500 seat theater in S.F., as an
inspirational, educational and mobilizing vehicle. And we hear other
production companies all over the country are working on mounting
their own productions, and you can download the amazing script here.

Why should we believe that anything is going to happen in November to
finally put an end to the strategic disaster in Iraq. No remaining
Democratic presidential candidate is calling for an immediate end to
hostilities. And Congress isn't going to do a damn thing, except keep
rolling over for whatever the war profiteers want, 100 billion
dollars at a whop. If they won't put their foot down now, then we are
stuck with a roll over Congress as long as all the SAME cowards are
in office.

How pathetic to hear them ALL talking about "new direction" and
"change" and all those worthless as garbage slogans, as if the same
collaborators would bring us anything different if we were so foolish
as to elect them again. Even McCain says he's the "change" candidate,
when in fact he represents NO change whatsoever, and is even
practicing the same snickering chuckle as Bush.

If we won't put our foot down now, in San Francisco on June 3, it
will just continue as more of the same and worse, of that you can be
sure. This is our only real chance to save ourselves. We'd better
take it. Please make a donation to Shirley Golub now while there is
still time.

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. Whom would you have replace her? (They all seem equally spineless)
And as much as I love Dennis Kuncinich, I just don't see that happening.

3. Since they are all equally spineless, it doesn't matter who replaces her as speaker.
San Franciscans just want a representative who will listen to their concerns and act on them.

5. Then what's the point?
Why the time, energy and money on replacing one spineless speaker with another?

9. We are trying to replace our spineless rep with a strong progressive candidate.
Pelosi doesn't represent her district well.
She's spending too much time being speaker and not enough time being district 8's elected representative.
