Campaign update 9-17-08
Dear
Friends,
I’ve honed my message to focus on the war
economy and how it has created the economic (and moral) crisis. I stand for peace, conversion to a Green
economy, and planning for future generations. This shift in priorities will lead to jobs at
home and a balanced budget as we defund the Pentagon, restore progressive
taxation, and use federal funds to rebuild our infrastructure and social safety
net. The attached speech expands on this
theme.
I’ve been tabling and canvassing all over
CA District 1, which extends from the Oregon
border to West Sacramento, with concentration on Mendocino, Humboldt and Yolo
counties, although I’ve also been to Napa and Windsor (Sonoma). Volunteers have been handing out brochures
and bumper stickers at county fairs and other events.
Paradise Cove Productions has been distributing
campaign videos to all the local cable TV channels, and to some PBS channels as
well. You can view them at the website
www.carolwolmanforcongress.com. Many thanks to Bob and Jacob Clapsadle for
all their hard work.
Also, KTVU will be broadcasting a brief
campaign speech throughout District 1- watch for it.
My editorials have been appearing in local
newspapers- thanks to Jim Houle.
Alliance for Democracy is sponsoring a
Congressional candidates’ forum Oct 3rd in
Ft. Bragg.
League of Women Voters is holding a televised candidates’ debate in
Eureka on October 20th, 7
pm. Meanwhile, I’ve responded to questionnaires
from many special interest groups on issues ranging from disarmament to social
security.
Richard Haley is preparing the voter
database for phone banking. Since the
mail-in ballots are sent out October 6th, this should start right away. Please email writch@writch.com if you are willing to put some time into
calling voters. You would them know that
I’m the Green candidate on the ballot, who stands for peace, conversion to
renewable energy, social justice, and planning for our grandchildren. Rich will send you a list of voters in your area to call, and a
pitch. Messages can be left on answering
machines. If you reach a person, feel
free to chat.
Lawn signs can be ordered at http://www.buildasign.com/campaign-signs/California/U.S.-House/Carol-Wolman?temcid=1005. The first one is free, after that they cost
$5, plus $2 for wire stakes. Shipping is
about $14.
Mike Thompson has lawn signs out- let’s let
him know that his seat is not safe. He’s
part of the establishment that has gotten us into the current mess. Time for Greens in
Congress!
We need money now for more bumper stickers
and brochures. Please go to the website
and donate at least $20. If everyone who
receives this email would do this, we’d have plenty of cash to finish the
campaign.
