Jennifer DePalma is Running against Nancy Pelosi - Please Supply Research to Help Defeat Pelosi!
Ms. DePalma is not perfect, but we must do everything in our power to help bring Nancy Pelosi, the Socialist Menace, DOWN!
Check out her website here.
FReepers are famous for our research. Therefore, I implore you to send Ms. DePalma everything you have on Pelosi to help her beat Pelosi.
Send everything you have to this email address: jen@depalmaforcongress.com
The only candidate that could defeat Pelosi in her District is Willie Brown.
Well... while it would be difficult to get votes "for" DePalma, there are ways to get protest votes "against" Pelosi.
Is there a good wedge issue? Is Pelosi "strong enough" on Gay Marriage for San Fran?
Is there anything she can be accused of that would cause people to want to punish Pelosi?
(get diggin')
Any relation to Brian DePalma?
Whether she is sexually deprived or not I'm not sure. But, she can sure shut her surgically altered mouth as far as I'm concerned.
Nope. Brown could not get re-elected mayor or anything else in this town. He's discredited with the left here. His political career is over in SF.
"Defeating Boxer is a good priority, a do-able goal. So is defeating Daschle by supporting Thune."
How are those races going? Who is the leading Republican in the CA senate race?
At this point, it's hard to say what his chances are. He's not the sort of guy conservatives can get excited about, but then that only means he has a chance of being elected in California.
Thune has an excellent chance of unseating Daschle depending how much election fraud DNC lawyers are allowed to get away with this time.
I believe Jones is actually fairly conservative, and is pro-life. He's also taking Boxer to task big time over her abysmal record on national security, taxes, and the healthy forest bill, so at least he'll give her a good fight.
Most Republican women are babe's!!!;)
Nobody's perfect, but get a load of DePalma's bio:
By contrast, check out Pelosi's bio. It doesn't say anything about how Pelosi was given this seat (following the death of Sala Burton, widow of longtime Demo power broker Phillip Burton) with not a lick of legislative or legal experience. So how did San Fran Nan get this plush gig? It was a reward from the Burton machine for her acumen as a fundraiser for the California Democratic Party, which she served as chair from 1981-1983.

But her bio doesn't tell you that. What it does is list her "accomplishments" and "leadership" AFTER her appointment, such as the fact that she is the first female minority leader, her concern for medical research into women's health issues, chemical pollutants and AIDS. It's pretty durn thin stuff for seventeen years.
Under "Personal story," there is even less: she tells us that she is the daughter of one mayor of Baltimore, MD and the brother of another (So what? George W. Bush's dad was President and his brother is a governor), and that she graduated from Trinity College in D.C. in 1962. No details about degrees, or post-graduate work, or cum laudes. She graduated, OK??? Finally, she speaks about her hubby, Paul Pelosi, and their five kids and the number of grandkids they have. Awwww. Here's what's left unsaid: Born into a local political family, she married into another local pol family; Paul's brother Ron is a former San Francisco Supervisor and an uncle of current mayor Gavin Newsom.
Take it from someone who lives in her district: She goes pretty much unnoticed around here except to folks in the SF political elite and in her neighborhood. She doesn't do anything FOR San Francisco other than to serve as the standard-bearer of Sin Freaksicko politics and as the retriever of occasional chunks of budget pork (such as a totally unnecessary underground trolley extension from the SBC Park/CalTrain station region to Chinatown).
I can't imagine having a Congresswoman who actually has some knowledge of the law, some perspective about the role of government (as is evidenced by her work at the Cato Institute), and not just the "art" of gotcha politics. Unfortunately, imagining that idea may be the best I can do.
BUMP! Great work!
BUMP!
Yesterday's 1 x 1 between Mad Halfbright and Screamin' Mimi Pelosi at the latter's SF offices followed by Mad's Bush bashing on CNN is telling. Did you know that Mad's maiden name is Korbel and that she is of actual communist lineage? Her father worked to undermine the Czech government and create a pre-WW2 Commmunist nation and de facto Soviet satellite. With friends like these..... etc.
Guys, get real. Pelosi is in a completely safe, gerrymandered district.
Dedicate time and resources to other races so she will stay MINORITY leader.
"Bill Jones is Boxer's likely Republican challenger."
It's a long way from May to November.
I wrote an e-mail to Pelosi last Sunday after her ridiculous display on Russert's program.
I told her she could get some medical help and get out of politics as she is ripping the country apart.
Shame on her.
