Caught Red Handed, Newsom Forges Green Party Protest Announcement
Newsom Email Fraud
11/28/2003: Nine days away from the most important San Francisco election in recent history, Willie Brown's handpicked successor Gavin Newsom has been caught forging a mass email, also posted to this site, which calls for supporters of candidate Matt Gonzalez to protest a Tuesday campaign appearance by Mr. Newsom, where he will be accompanied by former Vice President Al Gore.
The protest announcement, which Green Party spokeswoman Susan King has publicly repudiated, was circulated anonymously through a web email provider. Gonzalez supporters discovered today however, that in the email header of the announcement was an IP address traced to the campaign headquarters of Gavin Newsom.
The San Francisco political elite behind Gavin Newsom are no stranger to employing underhanded tricks to get their candidates elected; in 2001 some 400 ballots went missing, and ballot box tops were found floating in the bay.
