[GPSCC-chat] Zoe Lofgren's Office Protest Thursday 4-5PM

[Brian Good]

Those of us who vigiled for the impeachment of Bush at Lofgren's office 
will remember that she met with us at least three times, she made clear 
that she knew what was what and what was at stake, but when it came 
down to Kucinich's one-afternoon Judiciary Committee impeachment 
hearing (scheduled on a Friday, so it would get zero news coverage) Zoe 
didn't even make a pretty speech to make her mark in history.  

As Laura Wells says:  Don't lobby our Congressional Reps--Replace our 
Congressional Reps.  Zoe showed where she sits.  She's comfortable with
what she is.  She's useless.  I asked Ms. Wells a couple of years ago to move
to Zoe's district and run an informational campaign about the corrupting
influence of campaign finance (Lofgren and Eshoo are poster girls for that)
but she had other ideas.

So who's gonna run against Lofgren, Honda, and Eshoo?

          Thanks, John, for this.  

      

      

            Zoe may be officially undecided, but she signed two
      different letters reminding Obama that he does NOT have the
      authority to attack Syria without explicit authorization from
      Congress.  One of these letters states essentially that the
      decision to use force in Libya was unconstitutional.  Reading
      between the lines, this suggests to me (and I hope to Obama) that
      if he goes into Syria and it turns into a mess (which it most
      likely will), he could convince enough Democrats to join with most
      Republicans to approve articles of Impeachment in the House and
      convict in the Senate;  see "http://lofgren.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=825:zoe-on-the-crisis-in-syria-the-us-constitution-and-the-war-powers-resolution&catid=41:of-note-content&Itemid=160". 
      

      

      

            I agree that protesting and lobbying Zoe and other members
      of the House and Senate is wise.  Boxer and Feinstein have both
      stated support for intervention.  A recent poll indicated 56%
      opposed, 19% for with 25% undecided (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/03/us-syria-crisis-usa-idUSBRE97T0NB20130903). 
      Boxer and Feinstein should know that if US involvement in Syria
      produces seriously negative results, it could be trouble for
      them.  

      

      

            Best Wishes, 

            Spencer

        All,
        

        
        There will be a protest
          against the impending US war against Syria in front of Zoe
          Lofgren's office this Thursday September 5, 2013 from
          4PM-5PM.  The office is located at 635 N 1st Street, San Jose,
          CA.  Zoe Lofgren is undecided on how to vote on the war
          resolution concerning Syria, though she sympathizes with Sam
          Farr who is going to vote against it. We need to show her that
          we are serious. Thank you.
        

        
        Sincerely,
        

        
        John Thielking
