Are you as outraged as we are?

The Senate just waved through another 163 billion dollars in war profiteering, and they were all crowing about how they snuck in a couple billion dollars of life and death social funding. The last time anyone claimed such a victory it was Neville Chamberlain in Munich. They aren't even bothering to pretend with lame non-binding benchmarks anymore. It's just full speed ahead surrender to the lunatic hawks.

What the heck are we going to do about this Congress run amok with cowardice?? When are we going to stop apologizing for gutless wonders who think they can just completely ignore their constituents on the BIG issue that is destroying our country, emergency appropriation by emergency appropriation. What would you give to stop them in their tracks RIGHT NOW!??

There is a courageous candidate in the congressional primary in the 8th District of CA named Shirley Golub, who is challenging Nancy Pelosi for the Democratic party nomination there. If we do EVERYTHING we could have done to support her she will win, and in doing so Congress will get the coldest wake up call they ever had. It's the only message we can send now that matters at all.

If Shirley wins we can stop the occupation before it takes our entire country into the abyss of endless generational religious war. Otherwise they attack Iran before the general election and we all need fallout shelters again. Friends, those are the stakes.

Shirley Golub is the ONLY other Democrat in the CA 8th Congressional District primary. Cindy Sheehan is not running until the November general election, and as an independent. ONLY Shirley Golub can stop the senseles death and mutilation of thousands more of our brave service men and woman, the squandering of whatever is left of our children's future, by defeating Nancy Pelosi on June 3. And she can only do it with your help.

Primary election day is just 10 days off. In the next 10 days we need to pull out all the stops. Shirley needs your valiant contribution to run the biggest display ad she can in the last Sunday San Francisco chronicle before then, to articulate the real choice we have.

Text of Proposed S.F. Chronicle Ad:

We Have A Choice

Nearly every day in the Congress of the United States, those we have designated as our representatives cast votes on the policies that will control our lives in matters great and small. And it is our right, indeed it is our duty, that when those representatives persistently disregard the will of their constituents, that we cast our votes on election day for someone else who would represent us more faithfully.

When our founders created this grand experiment in self-government, enshrined in our Constitution, they did not do so in the name of we the media barons, or we the campaign consultants, or we the giant corporations. This nation was founded for the good of "We The People", and perhaps we should all take pause, to appreciate the truly awesome responsibility with which that endows each of us.

It is not always the case that those who have failed us will even have a challenger, who will step forward to present a positive alternative. Too many times, we people have been beaten into submission, by those who tell us that our voices don't count and will not be heard. Too many times we have allowed those who have not acted in our best interests to escape accountability. But when we do have a choice, a real choice, there is no more urgent task than to cast our votes in favor of that choice.

I am Shirley Golub, and I am challenging Nancy Pelosi for the Democratic party primary nomination on June 3rd. If I receive the most votes on that day, I will become the congressional nominee representing the 8th Congressional District for the Democratic party. If not, Nancy Pelosi will be that nominee. But one way or another, YOU, the citizens of my district, have the absolute power to determine the result, by coming out to vote on election day, and by voting your conscience.

This very week, Nancy Pelosi again defied us as the Speaker of the House, to push a war occupation funding bill opposed by the majority of her own party This bill would never have even come to vote in the House of Representatives, but for her obstinate determination to disregard the will of her people And, in the grandest act of hypocrisy of all, when put to vote, she herself voted against the very bill she was trying to force on the rest of us.

But if anyone thought the failure of the House bill was a victory, the Senate waved through the same thing a couple days later. And if this bill were to pass back in the House and be signed into law, we would be surrendering our brave men and women in our armed forces to yet another year of senseless mortal danger in Iraq, with no prospects for actual strategic success, with no hope of making America any safer in the world. This is exactly what we the constituents of the 8th Congressional district do NOT want.

So what is this charade where Nancy Pelosi votes against her own bill, as if she had no choice in the matter of bringing it up in the first place? Well, WE do have a choice. And if we accept our responsibility of exercising that choice, we can change the dynamic in the Congress of the United States in a way that will affect every other district in the country. People all over the country will take note that the citizens of San Francisco have finally had it.

Great social movements in our country's history have been founded in the struggle to win the right to vote. The civil rights movement, the women's suffragette movement, were for the very soul of our nation. Even today the struggle goes on, with reactionary elements in some states pushing to curtail the right to vote with various voter ID schemes, poll restrictions, and other devices, some already rubber stamped by an undeniably right wing Supreme Court.

But for the moment, we of the 8th Congressional District of CA retain our unrestricted right to do as we always have, to take a couple of minutes on election day, to make our voices heard, in the most clear possible way, to turn thumbs up or thumbs down on the current incumbent.

And that is why I am asking you, if you are as unhappy about the war funding put forward by the Speaker that we have endured for going on the last two years, that you must come out and support me in that very simple and fundamental way. I would not have entered this race unless I believed that I would be the faithful representative that Nancy Pelosi most decidedly is not.

I am asking you to believe that you CAN make a difference, and to believe that change is possible, long enough for that change to actually happen.

Thank you for your kind attention, and I will see you at the polls on election day.
