San Francisco
Between making an appearance on KTVU Channel 2 news and making an address before San Francisco's Commonwealth Club, Ralph Nader briefly joined Pelosi Watch at the foot of the city's Federal Building where Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi keeps her district office.
The purpose of Nader's appearance was to encourage the newly formed local Congressional watchdog group "Pelosi Watch" to keep pressure on Pelosi to heed her constituents' demands: to stop funding an illegal and heinous war, to impeach Bush for treasonous crimes, and to bring America's troops home now.
San Franciscans have been clear on these issues, but thus far Pelosi has responded by speaking vaguely and acting contrary to our wishes. She has increased spending on war, she has declared that "impeachment is off the table," and she has endorsed Bush's plans to send more troops to a conflict region that is becoming more unstable and unmanageable with each passing day.
Here are some photos, mp3 recordings, and 1 short video clip from today's event.
