Meeting with Jackie Speier at the Taraval Police Station last night.
Three Sunset organizations joined together to meet with our candidate for Congress in the special election on April 8, 2008. Huge crowd, meeting was chaired by Ron Dudum.
How can you not like Jackie Speier? She is straightforward, answers questions directly and is prepared to take office. She has been a supervisor on a local level, an Assemblywoman and State Senator.
Jackie was born in San Francisco and lived at Irving and Seventh Avenue.
I had forgotten that 29 years ago Jackie had ran for congress right after Congressman Leo Ryan was killed at Jonestown and where Jackie was shot.
Jackie Speier ran for Assembly 22 years ago - she only won by 500 votes. I remember that race very well (I supported Jackie and I got in a lot of trouble for supporting her - I was a feminist and I was supporting her because she was a woman - not knowing that Willie Brown and John Burton where supporting Mike Nevin - I still have my Jackie coffee mug which I use every week (this mug is now an antique!)
She is calling this race an "opportunity" for her to move forward on issues that are important:
getting out of Iraq, passing health insurance, consumer protection including financial privacy.
She wants to save St. Lukes and improve school funding.

Rules on voting are complex. Go to www.cadem.org for latest information. Meeting open to public. Information could change:
Candidates need 70% of the votes cast to secure a place on the State Convention Consent Calendar. This is a public vote. A single roll call vote via signed written ballot, in the same form as the absentee ballot, shall be taken. If you cannot attend the conference in person, the VBM ballot in voter packet must be mailed or delivered only to the Regional Convener responsible for the district. VBM ballots which are late or are delivered to the wrong Regional Convener are not valid. Once received by the designated Regional Convener, a ballot, absentee or otherwise, may not be retracted, rescinded, or otherwise changed and shall be counted in the totals. Proxy voting is not allowed.
The names of the voters for each district will be read aloud and the conference secretary will read the vote cast in accordance with the signed vote-by-mail ballot that was received by the Regional Convener.
At the end of the roll call, the votes for each candidate and for "no endorsement" will be tallied.
Should a candidate receive the 70% of the vote, s/he will be recommended candidate for endorsement. Such recommendations will go on the Consent Calendar to be ratified at the State Convention on Sunday, March 30, 2008, at the San Jose Convention Center.
If no candidate receives the required 70%, the conference shall have taken the position of "no recommendation" for endorsement.
If one candidate received over 50% for a district, the race will go to the caucuses held during the March convention.
