Support Cindy Sheehan!


Crowd shots from yesterdays union led protest in front of the New York Stock Exchange.

Corrupt Republicans, including Republicans who pretend they are Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, don't do anything out of the kindness of their hearts. They only care about themselves. Pelosi will continue to run roughshod over the Constitution, the middle class, the poor, queers, and people of color worldwide until it creates problems for her to do so.

The most effective way to make trouble for Pelosi these days is to support Cindy Sheehan! Make a donation. I just did.

Once you have done this, you can contact her and let her know that you have given money to the Sheehan campaign and why.

If you don't live in San Francisco, contact her at the House Speaker's website.

If you live in San Francisco and can vote that Rethug out of office, contact her at her House Member website.

Here are some great quotes from Ms. Sheehan about the bailout on the Market Watch website:

"This massive bailout is nothing short of a scheme by irresponsible corporate pirates to privatize gains and socialize debt," Sheehan said. "Such a move will only further add to the burden of individuals and families, who are already struggling to make ends meet. Not one of our tax dollars should go toward rescuing an industry that is failing because of unregulated lending and trading practices."
...
"My opponent has half a million dollars in stock invested in AIG alone, which is included in this so-called bailout," said Sheehan. "We need elected officials who will stand up for our interests, not protect their own pockets or the pockets of the very same people who got us into this mess in the first place."

"We are tired of giving golden parachutes to greedy corporate interests," said Sheehan. "We're standing up and saying, 'Not this time, not with my money and not with my consent.'"
