Pelosi 'Town Hall' Meeting Disappoints; House Minority Leader Refuses to Halt War Funding or Support Impeachment
SAN FRANCISCO - Members of the San Francisco Green Party who attended today's 'town hall' meeting with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi at Marina Middle School were extremely dissatisfied with her support for funding the war in Iraq and her unwillingness to impeach President Bush.
"If George W. Bush's crimes are not worthy of impeachment, then what is," said San Francisco Green Party (SFGP) Spokesperson Erika McDonald, who noted that the Green Party has long called for the impeachment of Bush.
"The crowd seemed to agree that impeachment was the appropriate course of action," said McDonald, who attended this morning's meeting.
Some Greens, including well-known peace activist Medea Benjamin, held up signs urging Pelosi to stop voting to fund the war during the 'town hall'.
Pelosi stressed that she voted for war funding because of the troops, but acknowledged that the soldiers still do not have sufficient protective armor.
The Green Party will continue to challenge Pelosi to represent the views of her district, and are expecting to run a candidate against her in November.
Pioneer lesbian playwright Terry Baum was the Green Party's candidate against Pelosi in 2004, and received a record number of write-in votes after the SF Department of Elections removed her from the ballot, after ruling that many ballots in the primary election had not been correctly filled out.
