Cindy’s own quote is hinting that she can win but really does not want to! She can ‘do this thing’! But why does she squeak by when she could coast? Drama for the six o’clock television news is one thing, risking the entire enterprise on sloppy management is another!

“I did it the way that I had to do it to retain my integrity…win of lose, I will win or lose with my integrity intact. And that is a victory in our political system.” Potential Congressional winner Cindy Sheehan

OUR political system? I will not speak for you and you need to please not speak for me. YOUR hippie dippie, all show no go ‘embarrass Nancy Pelosi with out replacing her ’system!

My system has you, Ms Sheehan, forcefully replacing Pelosi, a la South Dakota’s Democratic Party FORMER President of the Senate Tom Daschel! Like Governor Gray Davis recall effort, the toppling of evil is more than just a polite debating society at high tea!

Again, look at your own quote! A large number of folks whom are donating time, effort and dollars to your campaign might GREATLY DISAGREE! [Oh, but because they shout 'the Emperor has no clothes', they are being insulting, altho VERY correct! Hmmm, people that care enough to be honest ----and you treat them how?]

[And as some one whom will not be able to vote for the Peace Mom, I am still Trilled that she apparently got on the ballot!] How ever she not only has a first hand reputation of being ‘goofie’ —-not by me, but by others whom I have talked to DIRECTLY, but for folks whom do not know her, do not know of her, and do not have a set opinion of ‘traitor’ Nancy Pelosi, and the failed Loyal Opposition Democratic Party —-is grinning like an idiot the way to go?

Come on Phil, LOOK AT HER OWN WEB SITE [as I have requested you do almost a dozen times!] It is Her Steve Kubby like photo which is an insult to her volunteers, contributors and supporters! Please display to all that you think she has directed a wonderful, logical, rational compaign. Hhh?

[Phil is it just sooooooooo important that a large number of folks LIKE YOU?] May I suggest that you ’say what you mean and mean what you say’ and ‘let the chips fall where they may’!

Harry S. Truman, better than the average 20th Century President: ‘I don’t give ‘em hell! I give ‘em the truth and they think it is Hell!

Keep up the great, wonderful work!

Therefore, Cindy’s only option was running independent. Sure, ballot access is hard, but the independent label has made it much easier for CA’s two progressive parties to put aside the usual partisan sectarianism and unite behind her campaign.

I am sorry for the lose of your son, and I am glad that you have chosen a productive way to help find some measure of sanity and or recovery in your own life.

I am glad that you were able to successfully complete, perhaps building up a coalition of support in the process, an unjustly unfair petitioning drive in order to be listed on the ballot as an Independent.

I do not live in California, and I am not sure if I would vote for your, evem if I could. But I do support the right of adult citizens to vote and to seek public office, do feel that its good for voter’s to have more choices and I and have been involved in various election law reform projects, including ballot access law reform.

“A waste of time and money” to get me on the ballot?
Do you realize that we have been campaigning for the last 3 months and Nancy Pelosi apparently doesn’t even have a campaign office.
Do you realize that 20,000 signatures is significant and represent 20,000 votes? That is much more than “5 percent.”
I may not, thank god, be a political genius, but the last month we have been able to mobilize a significant amount of committed volunteers who will continue with us through November and help us in the next stage of the campaign. We have a good amount of money coming it to be able to get our message out.
And I am not even going to dignify the “grinning goofy soccer mom on summer vacation” comment with a comment. Pelosi is a vacuous tool of the Military Industrial Complex who can’t even sell her book with a concentrated book tour and mainstream media blitz.

I did it the way that I had to do it to retrain my integrity…win of lose, I will win or lose with my integrity intact. And that is a victory in our political system.

Our campaign is credible, viable and winnable and we would have obtained our signatures sooner if the process was equitable for all…not just corporate party members.

I am grateful to Richard for his Ballot Access News and for signing my petition.

Cindy will certainly get alot more than 5%. A no-name Green challenged Pelosi last time – before she betrayed her constituents as House Speaker – and got 8-9% of the vote.

I think Cindy will get 15-20%. Name recognition alone will be a plus.
