By far the
biggest piece of news I heard at the GPCA meeting in Sylmar
on 5/22 was that Matt Gonzalez could run for Congress next year. A few
days later I talked to Julia (a San Franciscan I know well enough to
break
bread
with), who told me "Matt Gonzalez can't beat Nancy Pelosi." She thought
having him run for one of the open State Assembly seats that serves the
Haight (she didn't know which one of two was his) would be interesting.
Now I'm thinking we need a "MATT GONZALEZ FOR ASSEMBLY" campaign, just
to make sure he thinks about the idea.
Somebody gave me this video at the meeting. I didn't watch it until the
following weekend. It's a great introduction to the seamier side of US
Foreign Policy. Very worth checking out, even though a bit gross in
spots.
