I thought I would throw this from the S.F. Ron Paul Meetup into the
discussion.

RSVP for Cindy Sheehan
Volunteer Meeting

When:
Tuesday, October 30, 2007, 7:00 PM

Description:

Cindy Sheehan was very gracious to our group on Saturday. While the
Socialists were all but spitting on us, she came up and greeted almost
everyone of us there. She is having her volunteer meeting Tuesday at
9th and Mission. An exact location will be posted tonight.
Connecting with other groups is important as you get a lot more
people's attention.

RSVP limit:
Only 20 members (including guests) can RSVP 'Yes' or 'Maybe' for this
event. There's still room for 15 more.

The reality is that the Sheehan people have nothing to offer the LP

in terms of "caucusing." They're not a political party and Sheehan's
candidacy is a vanity candidacy to make good on a threat against
Pelosi to unthrone her if she didn't end the war.

I don't think she nor her supporters are capable of running a

serious campaign. Their expectation that everyone else will step
aside and crown Sheehan (who is from Sacramento) as the anti-Pelosi in
San Francisco is proof of this.

Cheers,

Brian

I would tend to agree with this "battle" plan vs.

snubbings all together.... it's about getting power

however we can... even if we have to coalition at

first like the smaller parties do in Europe and

elsewhere (even CANADA)
