SF Pride must void Pink Brick...

Dear San Francisco Pride members and leaders,

DiFi may deserve a Pink Brick, but not from an
invalid election. The Pride ballot was confusingly
worded. It SEEMED to offer three choices, but really
gave just two.

The ballot listed Dianne Feinstein, Lou
Sheldon, and Sheldon's Traditional Values Coalition.
In reality, Sheldon is nobody without his TVC.

A valid ballot would have offered three separate
candidates -- such as DiFi, Sheldon, and Tom DeLay.

Using the misleading ballot, Sheldon plus his
shadow got 407 votes, while DiFi got 363.

Pride should admit that this ballot was defective,
ab initio; and should therefor void the Pink Brick results.

We don't need to give any OFFICIAL bricks this
year. Already we've hurt DiFi's feelings while
massaging Sheldon's ego.

I'm NO fan of DiFi, but enough's enough.
[ After all, she's on our side, however luke-warmly.
I may vote against her in the June 2006 primary,
but I'll support her against the Republican
in the Nov. 2006 general election. ]

Now let's start planning to fight tough California state elections
in 2006, and possibly also in November 2005.

Tortuga Bi LIBERTY,
San Franhattan
