Attention Californians: Democratic contenders,

[mitchtv]

Willie brown , the mayor of San Francisco, forsees the first week of October as a giant democratic whistlestop tour of California , By the Clintons, and all the presidential hopefulls. ( An idea, i believe , gleaned from this very website) It would suck the air out of the gop coup attempt, in the last crucial week of the recall campaign. Do you have an email address of your candidate? will you contact him/her? will you post that address here so that others can write?. There is little time. Willie is emerging as the leader in California of those of us opposing the hostile takeover, of the government.

1. Woohoo!

That is good new. Thanks for the heads up.

[proud patriot]

2. Excellent

hehehehehehee :evilgrin:

[rwheeler31]

[mitchtv]

6. the Clintons are expected

the media is busy ridiculing them. tell your candidates they are needed , and they will be rewarded at the primary. Personal presidential hopes need to go on the back burner. This one is for California

[realFedUp]

4. Willie does know how to give a good party

Come Dems, let's take back CA and this country.

[mitchtv]

5. he I don't know if its gonna happen

start those emails to your favorite& and less so, candidates. I don't know if they are aware that their presence IS REQUIRED.. some cajoling is needed and emails to willie in support [e-mail]

[Semi_subversive]

7. Unfortunately

Willie Brown is the original "Slick Willy". He was a crook as the Assembly Speaker and continues to be as Mayor of SF. Favors for contributions.

[David__77]

8. Hey, if he can help things now, that's all I care about.

He's on his way out. Vote for Carol Migden for state senate and not Brown (if you live there) and it won't be an issue. But he was effective for the party as speaker and has a role to play. I welcome that.

[Trajan]

10. Substantiate these attacks against a fellow Democrat ....

Or its ALERT time for you .....

[REP]

11. But He IS a Crook!

Slick Willie Brown, that is.

There are such things as dishonest Dems, alas.

[mitchtv]

and... this has relevance ...why?

you have been doing what? to stop the recall?. get on board or get lost buster. NOt an issue

[mitchtv]

13. go trash someone else

this guy is on OUR side. Sorry he offends you. That's not the issue.He is diplaying leadership, something many Dems could emulate. We are not here to discuss Willie's virtues

[Clete]

17. Yes, let's talk about Arnolds instead.

[Cheswick2.0]

14. yeah yeah,,,, and he is still 20 times more of a man than any repub

"Slick Willy" my ass. There is no need to repeat repug talking points

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. I love it when people bring that up about Willie

He knew how to reach consensus withouttrading the whole platform away like some newer Dems. He was SHREWD and knew how to win.

I worked for him back then....cll him whatever you want but some of the best environmental legislation and labor legislation came out of his tenure as majority leader. He knew how to keep insurance companies in check.

Slam away but today's Dems could learn a thing or two from Willie.

[RecoveringAsshole]

22. I'll just call him Willie, but thanks for asking

[David__77]

9. Each of nine has a role, as well as the Clintons and Feinstein.

We need them all. Not just yet, but toward the end. Jesse Jackson has a role. I would LOVE if Ted Kennedy would publicy urge NO on recall, though I doubt he'll comment on Arnie.

[mitchtv]

15. Ted said although he loves his neice& Ahnold

he is a Dem , and opposes the recall.

[Le Taz Hot]

12. I've tried with the Dean campaign.

As of a couple of weeks ago, they refuse to comment on the recall -- HUGE mistake! However, the good Gov. will be here in September and I'm HOPING he'll bring it up then.

California Dean supporters can call or e-mail Vermont -- the contact information is on the www.DeanforAmerica.com website.

The California Rep. from Vermont is Aaron Holmes. I've sent him several e-mails on various topics but have never gotten a response. I urge other Californians to e-mail Aaron ([e-mail]) AND the campaign to urge the Gov. to speak out against the recall.

16. I have just written a letter to your LA times

I hope it helps. I felt a little sorry for Maria Shriver, but only for a minute. I hit the sleazebag angle. I know some people here to not agree with that an an issue...but many women will, liberal and conservative alike.

[Clete]

18. I'm not a fan of Maria's, but I agree with you to a point.

However, I think of what Chelsea Clinton had to go through with Monicagate and none of the instigators cared about what she was going through. I guess Maria is going to have to put earmuffs and blinkers on her children and tough it out.

I think this is why she is the reluctant political wife to begin with. She has to know about Arnold, even if it is because he has confessed all to her. She no doubt wanted to protect her children from the bad press. I guess Arnold doesn't give a sh*t, which says a lot about his character right there.

[Cheswick2.0]

21. Yes, he should never have decided to run

It was dumb dumb dumb. They are going to make mince meat of him and they should.

[mitchtv]

19. [e-mail]

have written to both Dean and Kerry so far;more to go.
