Heroic Effort Puts Cindy Sheehan On The Ballot, Now Let's Put Her In Congress
Cindy Sheehan Is On The Ballot!! Now Let's Go For The General Election Gold
Today we got confirmation that Cindy Sheehan has QUALIFIED for the ballot as an independent candidate to challenge Nancy Pelosi for the seat from the 8th Congressional district of CA. This required the verification of the signatures of more than 10,000 of her constituents, only the 6th time in history this has ever been accomplished in the state of CA.
And it could not have been done without the heroic support of people, not just in that one district, but from all over the country who recognize that a successful challenge to Pelosi will do more to compel real policy change than almost anything else we can do. Pelosi, who has turned a deaf ear to the entire American people on ending the war funding, impeachment and everything else, MUST be defeated to start to finally hold the White House, and the rest of Congress, accountable.
This is now a very winnable race, but only if we rally behind Cindy Sheehan, who had the courage to call the recent non-impeachment hearing the toothless sham that it was, and was thrown out of that hearing for saying so. Let's make her a member of Congress so they can never throw her out again. Please make a donation now to help Cindy Sheehan win the big one.

The faster we can give Cindy Sheehan a big head of stream, the faster we can get the attention of each and every other member of Congress who thinks they can just coast through their next election without actually standing up for us. Let them know that there is a Cindy Sheehan waiting in the wings in their district to take them down too next time unless they do their job now.
The simple, cold fact is that unless and until Congress sees a downside to their despicable cowardice there will be NO policy change. We'll repeat that. No policy change whatsoever. Their whole self-justification is they point to the elections they are winning. Unless and until we defeat one of their own, one of the biggest of them all, we can send emails and make phone calls until we're blue in the face, and they will must keep lying to us and stalling. Yeah, sure they're just about to impeach. Sure.
Now some people (defeatists) will say, "Oh, you'll never defeat the Speaker of the House". Well guess what, until we do they will never take the voice of the people seriously. We HAVE to win. And we have to do everything we could have done to make that a reality. So we are calling on all of our participants to throw everything they have behind candidates who will fight for the issues, the real issues.
And there is no better investment in time, energy or money we can make now than to give Cindy Sheehan the biggest platform possible to advocate for us.
Paid for by Cindy Sheehan 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.
