Hey everybody,
I just want to be sure, since my absentee ballot came, that everyone knows that when they are deciding who to vote for that Rue Furch is who I chose.
For one thing, she's a friend of mine. Never hurts. We are on several committees together, some of which she doesn't list on her site: http://www.ruefurch.com/
Rue has been subject to a real unfortunate situation with the press... much like our beloved Barack. For complicated reasons I don't want to get into.
So permit me to say that as a Roseland resident, formerly from Petaluma, I know Rue to be a very competent, honest, assertive individual who is MORE than qualified for the position of 5th District Supervisor.
If you haven't sent your ballot in, it's VERY important that you learn a bit more about her directly. I think her views are quite on par with Obama's in many regards. She's extremely excited about this historic election. We talked about it for hours last night over chips and the best tomatillo salsa ever at a backyard barbecue.
Rue is BRILLIANT. She knows a great deal about our economic situation, she's sympathetic to other people and is someone to whom you can ALWAYS make an appeal to. That distinguishes her, in my mind, from many other politicians.
I was torn, originally, because Eddie Alvarez is another friend of mine who lives just around the corner and whom I also have done political work with, and I thought it would be nice to see more minority representation, but he dropped.
I will NOT be voting for Lynn Woolsey again, although there are no alternatives. She has NOT made herself available to me in spite of repeat letters of question and concern.
So if you have a CA ballot with "Rue Furch" for Fifth District Supervisor on it, get your pencil out and mark it down. You'll be making the right choice.
And if you have ANY questions about Rue, ask away and I'll get you an answer just as quick as possible :)
Thanks!
Please email around Sonoma County, because like I said, the press has done an awful number on her and she is the best qualified to tackle the concerns of this county, by and far. She has the judgement, the compassion, the commitment to our economic crisis as well as our mental health center crisis, our immigration issues, she is a very good, solid progressive Democrat.
VOTE RUE FURCH!!!!
