Full Copass/Davis Debate

Fri May 30, 2008 at 06:07:47 AM PDT

Mike Copass has now put video from his entire debate with Susan Davis online.

Please take a look and see why I want him to replace this 4-term incumbent as my representative in Congress.  Below the fold are their 2-minute closing statements; you can see the whole debate at Mike's website

Contribute to Mike (just 4 GOTV'ing days left!) on my ActBlue Page.

CA-53 Primary Debate

Mon May 26, 2008 at 10:06:34 AM PDT

Yesterday Mike Copass and incumbent Susan Davis participated in a debate hosted by Common Cause and the League of Women Voters.  They are candidates for the Congressional seat in the 53rd district of California, my district.  The hour-long event at the Joyce Beers Center was very well attended - standing room only - and it was a great debate.

I didn't take notes - and I should have - but below the fold are the points I can remember.

Ten bucks on a long shot

Have you spent that $600 check from Uncle Dubya yet?  Got a few dollars left over?  Maybe a few gallons of gas?  Can I talk you into sending $10 to Mike Copass?  He's running for Congress, challenging incumbent Democrat Susan Davis in the primary, in my district, CA-53 - and he would do a better job in this safe blue district.

There are just a couple of weeks left before the June 3rd primary, and I'd love to steer a little cash his way.  So he's getting $100 from me today, and if 100 more people will contribute - just $10 apiece - in the next week, I'll double my contribution.

Mike is committed to getting us out of Iraq, to universal single-payer health care, to sustainable energy policies, fair elections, and government accountability, among other issues.

I've put him on my new ActBlue page, about which, more below the fold.

Impeachment Call to Action and Resources

Tue Nov 06, 2007 at 07:08:27 PM PDT

I want the House Judiciary Dems' phones ringing off the hook.  They'll be hearing from me, for sure.  Rough script:

Does the Congresscritter support HR333?

[yes] Great!  What can I do to help him/her bring it to fruition?
[no]  What can I do to change her/his mind?
[undecided] What factors would make a difference?

May I speak with the congresscriter her/himself?  What time would be
convenient?  Will s/he be holding a town hall on this very important
topic?

Thank you for your time; we'll talk again soon.

And, special for Keith Ellison:

Prove to me that you're not working with our enemies - get this bill
passed, and pronto!
