KRISSY FOR CONGRESS FUNDRAISER MAY 15
by susan_e_vaughan＠juno.com 08 May '06

08 May '06

Please note: forwarded message attached SAN FRANCISCO WHEN: May 15, 7-9 pm WHERE: Cafe La Boheme 3318 24th Street at Mission, San Francisco (across from 24th and Mission Bart Station) With singer/songwriter Holly Near, artist Guillermo Gomez-Pena, fomer Green Party U.S. Senate Candidate Barbara Blong, Green Party Planning Commissioner Cristina Olague,formerGreen Party congressional candidate Terry Baum, and more STATEMENT OF INTENT: My name is Krissy Keefer and I am running for the US Congress, as if my life depended on it. In fact, I think it does. Everything is coming to a head. We witness the desperate war in Iraq, the countless deaths and injuries and the complete disruption of people�s lives there. We see our tax dollars taken from our social service programs to disrupt governments around the world. There is a threat to Iran looming in the background. It appears that our federal government is hell-bent on starting World War 3. The United States and Australia are the only countries whose governments do not admit to global warming in the face of international consensus. We are denying the grave consequences we will soon be facing if nothing is done about carbon emissions. There are erosions of our civil liberties through the Patriot Act and now the unbridled disregard for the law regarding the NSA. Women�s rights have had a serious setback, culminating in the confirmation of Judge Alito. Our right to birth control is questioned and attempts to prevent basic sex education are apparent everywhere. In California we have the barbarism of the death penalty and the staggering numbers of people in prison, disproportionately people of color. The demonization of illegal immigrants threatens to create a social divide with grave consequences for our community, economy, our borders, and our relationship with Mexico. Everywhere we look, justice has taken a back seat as the 21st century robber barons confiscate and hoard resources at the expense of the planet. Profits for individual CEOs and shareholders have reached unmatched heights, with nothing in place to regulate how much one person can own at the expense of the whole society. Many individuals have personal fortunes that rival the GNP of some nation-states. Enough is enough. It is time to step in, step forward, and stand up for a sustainable future, and that includes economic justice, social change, and accountability in our political leadership.

Hello Eevryone, Leah Shahum of the SFBC is asking that we call the mayor's office (554-7111) and tell him that we support Healthy Saturdays (Saturday closure of JFK Drive). Sue ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Call 554-7111 today and tell the mayor that you support Healthy Saturdays (Saturday closure of JFK Drive). Sue CALLS NEEDED *TODAY* TO WIN HEALTHY SATURDAYS IN GG PARK: This is the final countdown: Will the Mayor support or veto the Healthy Saturdays 6-month trial effort? While the Board of Supervisors did pass the legislation at the Board meeting last week (and is expected to do the same at the Board's procedural second vote tomorrow), the fate of this historic, family-friendly initiative is 100% in the hands of the Mayor as of tomorrow (Tuesday). We have heard that his office is receiving a lot of calls in opposition, so we need YOUR help today to generate calls of support. *** Please CALL the Mayor's office today (554-7111, messages are fine) and briefly express your support for the Healthy Saturdays legislation. Spread the word...email friends...let's generate hundreds of calls in support today!!! Thanks everybody, Leah __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
