Yea, JACKIE SPEIER is running for Lieutenant Govenor of CA

[laugle]

I read it in the Pacifica Tribune today. She is kicking off a fundraiser in our fair city. I think she has an excellent chance of winning! I had kinda hoped we could get her to run against DIFI. Guess not.........oh well we will find someone, I hope.....

1. I thought Cindy Sheehan was going to run for Di Fi's seat

I wrote Medea Benjamin to ask if she was going to run again, and that's what she told me.

2. I sure hope you are right, she is a lovely woman! n/t

Besides, how do they trash a mother who's son paid the ultimate price. If you find out for sure, please let us all know.

8. Would you start a thread about Cindy

and tell us her agenda? She's an interesting alternative.

3. I LOVE Jackie

wasn't she wounded with Leo Ryan at Jonestown?

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Yep, and she's a major privacy advocate. n/t.

6. Yes she was wounded, and one of the few

to survive. Maybe after she has been govenor, we can get her to run for the DIFI senate seat! I know it's way off. I met Jackie last year at the pacifica pier, where my husband and I were taking our usual walk. She was presenting a check to the Mayor for 500,000 to repair the pacifica pier. This was when Grey Davis was still govenor. She seems to be a very down to earth person, and we sure appreciated her involvment in renovating our pier. GOOOOO JACKIE!!!

7. We may agree here.

Jackie Speier is moving on up - great!

13. Thanks for the post MaryBear

by the way, your name is very cute! How did you think of it?

9. I like her as well

She'll make a great Lt. Gov.

I can see her going far

10. I prefer John Garamendi

His head and heart are in the right place. I was hoping that Speier would go for Insurance Commissioner to protect the Department of Insurance from Cruz Bustamonte.

11. Both are good.

In whatever capacity.

12. Yeah Jackie!

I love her.

14. DIFI is not going anywhere

Unless she drops dead or suddenly decides to not run again, she's in for another 6 years, and that's fine with me.

I think our energies need to go toward defeating Repugs, not toward trying to replace Dems who aren't perfect.

[ronnykmarshall]

15. I hear that.

Dianne will run, Dianne will win. Focus on defeating Arnold.
