Let's Show Pelosi Herself A New Direction, Out The Door, And Make Impeachment Actually Happen

Are you as tired of hearing that meaningless "New Direction" slogan
as we are, where all it's been is the same old caving in. Until just
a couple weeks ago we could have sworn we had traded a rubber stamp
Congress for a rubber spine one, and even there they could cave again
on telecom immunity any day without our incessant pressure. And
what's made just a little difference was the huge primary challenge
win in MD by Donna Edwards. If we do the same thing in San Francisco
on June 3rd, as Shirley Golub is doing, impeachment is on, for real.

We can show Nancy Pelosi herself a "New Direction" . . . OUT the
door, by doing all we can to support Shirley Golub now.

There are lots of other things we could be doing to work for real
progressive policy change, but nothing would have MORE impact than
demonstrating that the Speaker of the House herself can be seriously
challenged for not doing her job.

We are doing conventional things and non-conventional things. The
most important conventional things we need to do right now are
mailings, to get to as many people as possible with the Shirley
Golub's "I'm On The Table" message. And she really is, on all
the
issues we are fighting for, ending the horrid indefensible occupation
of Iraq, instituting real national health care for all our citizens,
ending NAFTA and rebalancing our trade policy to protect American
jobs, and most urgently impeaching the president and vice president
before they can do any more damage.

We can do lots of email for practically nothing. But not everybody
has email and we certainly don't have the email addresses for every
voter in San Francisco, which is where the critical battleground is
right now. Thanks to your valiant help, Shirley is running multiple
ads daily on MSNBC in her district, the Air America radio affiliate,
and last weekend placed a prominent display ad in the San Franciso
Chronicle. But we still need to do traditional mailings to win.

It's going to take about $30,000 to get this mailing out over the
next week or so. But if each of our participants just kicked in a
dollar we would raise far more than that. So anything you can do to
help will make a real difference, knowing that we have candidate who
is not afraid to put it on the line and proclaim her stands, where
the incumbent, Pelosi, just mouths worn out and worthless slogans.

If you can donate $100 to help show Nancy Pelosi the door and what
direction it's in, Shirley will send you one of the new "IMPEACH
BOTH!!!" baseball caps, so you can proudly proclaim your position on
what Congress should have done long ago. And if you can be an angel
and donate $1000 to get this mailing off the ground, you get a custom
embroidered "I'm On The Table" baseball style satin award jacket.

At the same time, just based on our last alert, we have been hearing
from people from all other the country excited about the theatrical
impeachment passion play that Shirley is helping to make happen.
Think of it like "An Inconvenient Truth". Think of the dramatic
impact that movie has made on worldwide policy thinking, inspiring
and mobilizing people to take action where before they were
dreadfully uninformed.

Here we have a play cowritten by Bruce Fein, one of the premier
impeachment scholars, together with some gifted dramatists. And if
you have ever heard Mr. Fein speak at forum on the urgency of
impeachment, you know that everyone needs to hear what he has to say
about the mortal threat to our democracy posed by NOT acting to
impeach this president and vice president now. Few people have had
that opportunity, and you can't get most people to sit still for a
lecture. But with this play we can have Mr. Fein as a character
educating and inspiring people to speak out every night, while we
pick apart all the specious White House excuses for their
Constitutional offenses witness by witness, in the most dramatic way
possible.

It get's better than that. Every person who will attend this play in
San Francisco we can recruit on the spot to volunteer for the
campaign, they can take home house signs with them, and every dollar
we spend advertising the play will double as campaign advertising.
The synergistic possibilities are breathtaking, not to mention the
media attention phenomenon we can create by making the production the
hit we know it will be. Unconventionial? Yes. But it could amazing
and we have to go for it. We already have a top notch director in
place, so if you would like to make a donation to help mount this
production, please use this link.

And especially if you are in another city and want to work on your
own productions, to make this inspiring impeachment play the national
media phenomenon it is destined to be, please email us too because we
will be releasing the final locked script to all comers this week.

We beat back a corporate financed challenge to Dennis Kucinich for
his own congressional seat with your help, against all odds. Now we
can win a primary challenge in San Francisco, and in doing so change
the course of American political history forever.

Paid for by Shirley Golub for Congress

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
