Pelosi's Sabotage of Cindy Sheehan for Congress Campaign

by &
The Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign is doing so well that all the opposing incumbent Democrat Nancy Pelosi has is election fraud. Democrat Nancy Pelosi is the millionaire 20-year incumbent of the 8th CD, covering most of San Francisco, who took impeachment of Bush & Cheney off the table and led the charge to give our tax dollars to banks and insurance companies.

Some highlights from this October 13, 2008 story:

“Two weeks ago, we were begged by organizers of a "radical" music festival called "We the People(Sheeple)" forbade me from speaking after having begged me to be there. An article in LA Beat said that the Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigoso was involved in the decision to silence my voice. Not only did we go down to L.A. at our own expense, but also we took an entire day of valuable campaign time to do so.”

“The past week, though, has been incredibly trying. First of all we had to file a restraining order against a former volunteer whom, with hindsight, we now know was probably spying on us for the Pelosi camp. After we let this person go, his emails to us became increasingly hostile and threatening. After that happened, the tail lights in our campaign-mobile were busted out (the campaign mobile that has Cindy for Congress signs all over it and pictures of it were in an AP story.”

“Towards the end of the week, four young men walked into our office and they were acting quite suspiciously as they pretended to be registering to vote. One of our interns was helping them when I heard her yell: "No! Stop!" I heard an awful noise and ran out of my office to see the young men run off. They had grabbed one of our computers (leaving a jar of donations on the front desk) and beat our intern over the head when she tried to stop them. Our front windows are almost totally covered with signs and posters and it would be hard to see what we have from the street…we did, thankfully, recover the computer which has sensitive material on it and we are even more thankful that Somer is okay. (She's tough like her boss).”

“After several days of harassment, I got home late one night to discover a jury summons in my mailbox. I have been summoned to jury duty the week of, you guessed it, the elections!”

“The final (and in my opinion worse) weird thing happened on Saturday night. We had scheduled a group of "robo" calls to go out today (Monday, Oct 13). At 10:30 Saturday night, we started getting phone calls and emails blasting us for sending out the calls at 10:30 on a Saturday night, which is not only illegal, but extremely annoying. The company had approached us to donate 10,000 calls to us and then was charging us a small fee for the rest of the calls. 38,000 early/absentee voters received this call and my office has been overwhelmed with angry voters who won't be voting for me now and some of the good will that we have been building here in San Francisco for the last year went down the drain in just a few minutes.”

There is nothing normal about this; this is fascism, as is election fraud generally.

The expose' here on the Democrats dirty tricks campaign against Cindy Sheehan is not surprising. No different than the Republicans. Nancy Pelosi comes from a family of East Coast mobsters who have a history of strong-arming others to
gain power. SF is one of their major power centers in the U.S.

These tactics should be documented and reported to the proper authorities. Follow up with a counter-offensive media
campaign. The people need to know who Nancy Pelosi really is.

Where is the proof that any of this actually happened? Where is the proof that Pelosi or the Democratic Party has anything to do with it if it did happen? This all smells like made-up accusations just like the phone tap claims a couple months ago.

Sounds more like an inexperienced person running a campaign with inexepreienced people. Cindys intentions and motives are good but what qualifies her for office other than she has been in the spotlight? I really do not like Pelosi but none of this smacks of the sinister. Sounds more like life just happening.

If you read the Constitution you will see that WE THE PEOPLE are the one's contracted to lead the republic. Since when do we hand over our voice to millionaire criminals? I take inexperience over the treasonous policies of the Pelosis and Bushes any day. At least the voice of WE THE PEOPLE will be in congress.

" Sounds more like life just happening."

no, just sounds like a load of pelosi-shill BS.

if you don't understand that dirty tricks are used in US elections (and always have) then you are dangerously naive. either that or you are simply malicious and trying to hide it.

pelosi not only abandoned her DUTY by stopping impeachment, she was at the forefront of turning this nation into a FASCIST (not socialist) state where profits ar private but losses are public.

my dog would be a better congressperson, and cindy sheehan is a milion times better than my dog - and a billion times better than pelosi.

the people coming on here and defending pelosi are most likely people who benefit directly from her power. better start looking for new jobs now, suckers, because every time I hear about these abuses, I put up hundreds more pro-sheehan flyers and redouble my efforts to DUMP PELOSI!

George Wallace said it best, "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, Patriot Act, banning books like "America Deceived' from Amazon, Wikipedia and Facebook, warrant-less wiretapping and opening private mail. They are both guilty of treason.
Clean them all, put in Cindy and save this great nation.

going off the deep end to suggest there's actually a deeply intricate conspiracy that would orchestrate jury duty the week of the election is making any even remotely valid argument unbelievable. good grief.

all the comments pulled from that pathetic salsa wiredforchange story are enormous leaps of assumption without proof that can even submit to a sniff test.

Sheehan has as even less experience than Palin! Why does voting for her make any sense at all for this decidedly liberal city!?!? Good grief. While distasteful in the moment, Pelosi IS doing the right thing.

Is there anyone who would really place the bet and risk everything by putting impeachment ahead of getting Obama elected? It's just not worth it. And i'm not voting for a woman who has absolutely NO political acumen whatsoever.

What are we all fighting for? A government for WE the people. Not the multi millionaire politicians that are all in bed with the multi millionaire investment bankers or the multi millionaire developers or the multi millionaire lawyers in Washington DC.

Pelosi is one of them. Remember that smiling face when she bailed out her financiers on Wall St. Good Girl Nancy. Has anything changed? Any one been able to keep their homes? What was the point?

All that happened is more business as usual. More bonuses. More parties. MORE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS !!!!

We need to vote them all out of office and start over. Democracy is precious but when controlled by the elite power brokers - republican or democrat - it is nothing more than a corrupt monarchy.

If this great City and nation is to survive, we need people like Cindy to step up and lead with conviction and common sense. Most importantly with HONESTY -
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
