Another Remarkable Woman Running for Congress in the SF Bay Area: Jackie Speier!

By Greg Dewar on January 19, 2008 6:52 PM | | Comments (0)

While we're lucky in San Francisco to have Rep. Nancy Pelosi as our Member of Congress and Our Speaker of the House, not all of San Francisco is represented by her district. A good portion of our district was redrawn into Congressman Tom Lantos' district, aka the 12th CD.

Congressman Lantos has made the decision to retire, due to a diagnosis of cancer, and while we'll lose a representative who tirelessly fought the Reagan, Bush I and II administrations, stood up for human rights against dictators around the world, and had excellent constituent service, he's chosen to endorse a remarkable woman in California politics, Jackie Speier, who would be a wonderful addition to the Bay Area progressive team led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

Read all about her amazing kickoff event at Leo Ryan Park, and coverage from a fun writeup by Sweet Melissa in San Francisco. You should also check out the book Jackie co-authored as well.

The westside of San Francisco and San Mateo County have a chance to send an honest, smart, talented woman to Congress to help Rep. Pelosi fight the good fight in Washington DC. When Democrats have a chance to send solidly progressive, Democratic women to Congress, it will help all of us advance an agenda that takes us past the failures of the Bush Administration, and help any Democratic President advance an agenda that makes America strong again.

San Franciscans Support Speaker Nancy Pelosi!

I've decided to start a grassroots effort to show my support, and the support of my fellow San Franciscans for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is under attack by outsiders who love to use San Francisco as a punching bag for their radical agendas.

I am getting a bit tired of people attacking the Speaker as if she is some Supreme Dictator of the USA who can rule by decree, like, say, Hugo Chavez, when in fact she's got a thin majority of Democrats to try and fix the disasters in D.C. that President Bush, V.P. Cheney, and the Tom DeLay/GOP wrecking crew have made. She also has to battle people in her own party that seem to think attacking a "San Francisco Democrat" behind the scenes and on the House floor is good for their own selfish political aims. Despite all this, she conducts herself with class and integrity, and I for one am glad she's the speaker and not Denny Hastert.

Over the next few months, this site will grow and include information about Speaker Pelosi's record, as well as the opinions and ideas of real San Franciscans who are willing to stand up and defend <I>our</I> city and </I>our</I> Speaker. We can't let the radical fringes come and use San Francsico for their own agendas - it's time we fought back and showed the rest of the country that attacking Our Speaker is not OK with us anymore!
