Celebrate Krissy's fabulous campaign!!!!
Celebrate Krissy Keefer's Awesome Campaign!!! Come to Cafe La Boheme at 3318 24th Street at 8 p.m. on November 7, 2006 and break rum cake with Krissy and sip champagne ... Whatever the outcome of Krissy Keefer's candidacy for the 8th congressional district -- whether she gets seven, 14, 25, or 65 percent of the vote -- Keefer, the colorful and energetic Green Party candidate for the 8th congressional district, plans to get down with her friends and supporters on Tuesday night -- and inaugurate the next phase of her campaign. What??? Did you all expect the troops to be home by Tuesday night, global warming to be stopped, and George W. Bush and company to be impeached by the time the polls close at 8 p.m. on November 7? No???? Then come and join Krissy Keefer and friends at Cafe La Boheme at 3318 24th Street at Mission at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 7 as she plots her next move. Oh, and by the way, she will also be celebrating her awesome campaign. She and her campaign walked hundreds of precincts, fliered at countless transit stops, distributed close to 150,000 pieces of literature, and annoyed the heck out of the San Francisco Chronicle for its biased coverage of Nancy Pelosi (the most well-known of Keefer's opponents in her race for Congress). They organized teams of people to put signs together on sticks, and then go around town and post those signs in commercial areas. They coordinated lit drops with other campaigns. And they rode a San Francisco Trolley through the streets of the 8th congressional district two times. On October 31, Taiko drummers aboard the trolley pounded to the rhythm of "Impeach Bush ... for Halloween." Keefer and her campaign also got on to television by staging events such as a "Silent Vigil" outside a fundraiser that Nancy Pelosi co-hosted with Bill Clinton and through the efforts of public access television producers. They got her name into the print and Internet media. "I'm voting for Krissy thanks to Youtube," has become a common remark on the streets of San Francisco these days ... They also organized spectacular cultural happenings with poet laureate Jack Hirschman; performance artist Guillermo Gomez Pena; Wilmington, Delaware Green Party congressional candidate Michael Berg; musical groups Grupo Raiz, Jou Jou, and Illary; dancers Ramon Ramos Alayo, Jose Navarrete, Ellen Bepp, Anne Bluethenthal, Amara Tabor-Smith, Sue Li-Jew, Debby Kajiyama, Kimberly Valmore and others; Taiko drummers Bruce Ghent, Jimi Nakagawa, Kallan Nishimoto, Dakini Daiko, Debbie Lammam and Lena Gatchalian; former Green Party congressional candidate and playwright/performer Terry Baum with Scrumbly Koldewyn; Hip Hop artist Allan "Big Poppa" Frias; singers Ronnie Gilbert (of the Weavers), Austin Willacy, and Melanie DuMore; District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi; housing rights activist Christina Olague; founding members of the California Green Party Barbara Blong and Betty Traynor; and so many more ... Please join Krissy as she celebrates her spirited campaign and thanks her energetic volunteers ... and plans her next move to get the troops out of Iraq, stop global warming, and impeach George W. Bush. Rum cake and champagne for energy to provided ...
