and the US get out of Iraq.
Here's an assessment of his chances and the chances of many candidates around the country who are demanding impeachment be put back on the table. Wherever there are Dems in power have not listened to the demands of the people, he believes there should be viable and funded candidates to challenge them.
A pretty good idea I think. Here's his plea for help and publicity. Even if you can't support him personally, spread this widely so that the impeachment and anti-Iraq war message can be heard loud and clear and the real Dems can be seated in Congress next term. The statement of a Walsh supporter follows:
Inspired by the courageous leadership of Shirley Golub in San
Francisco, challenging the majority leader herself for the Democratic
congressional primary nomination there, we have been told that there
are now primary challenges is most of the districts in the state of
Oregon, running on an impeachment now platform.
And we could not have asked for a more valiant candidate than Joe
Walsh, who has been leading his fellow constituents in their own
weekly rally in front of Earl Blumenauer's district office in OR-03,
demanding action on impeachment, and on ending the indefensible and
ruinous occupation of Iraq.
Joe needs your help this weekend, to put together the filing fee of
$1,000 to pay for the publication of his full platform in the
official Oregon voter pamphlet. This is critical in the state of
Oregon to get our message out, as it is a completely vote by mail
state. This should be so easy for us to do. Please make whatever
contribution you can make now, small or large, and we will certainly
reach this very modest goal.
http://www.usalone.com/donations_walsh.php Joe Walsh is a long time dedicated peace activist, who gave up a Navy
career he already had, by filing as a conscientious objector in 1970
during the Vietnam War, and received an honorable discharge. He has
put his own body on the line many times as a political activist also,
for demonstrations in front of Oregon senator Smith's office last
year, for another example.
But more than that, Joe is well known to his local community for his
generous volunteer work, also donating many hours on a weekly basis
working for Portland's "Fish", who distribute emergency food to
people in serious trouble.
The primary in Oregon is coming up fast on May 20. So your
contribution can have an immediate impact on Congress right now, by
demonstrating that any incumbent who does not get it can, and will,
face a serious primary challenge.
Won't you make a contribution to Joe now if you can, so that he can
carry the banner of impeachment, and all the other issues we are
fighting for, in the official Oregon voter pamphlet. We need his
voice. Without him there would be no challenger in his district, and
people like Blumenauer would just blithely think that they forever
disregard the will of the people.
And even if you can't make a contribution, please spread the word
about the growing "On The Table" impeachment movement, and take heart
that in just the next couple months we can apply enough pressure
through these primary challenges to make impeachment an actual
reality.
