Cindy Sheehan wants to challenge Nancy Pelosi , which is a fine idea, but she’s having a bit of trouble getting enough signatures to make the ballot. I quote from a press release:
The percentage of “valid” signatures that the SF Department of Elections are allowing is getting
lower and lower as we get closer to our goal.We turned in 1932 on Monday and they invalidated 49% of the signatures.
We turned in 425 yesterday and they invalidated 78% of them.
The thing about that, is that I personally checked every signature in that batch, and I came up
with a 55-60 percent valid rate.We figure at this rate, we need to turn in 3000 by tomorrow at 5pm.
HELP! HELP! HELP! We have 24 hours……
If you want to help Sheehan make the ballot, you can stop by her campaign office at 1260 Mission St (open 24 hours) or call 415 621 5027.
