Defeat Pelosi
Bah. Impossible!
It's likely that many readers have seen the following letter circulating via email. It is legitimate and has been verified by Snopes.
[Page 2 is below the fold]
A friend with far better things to spend his time on than politics wrote to Mr. Guthrie:
Dear Mr. Guthrie,As you probably know, your forthright letter to Ms Pelosi is circulating widely on the internet and has been verified by Snopes.com as actually written by you which is reassuring. I think many agree with you in every regard about Ms. Pelosi’s despicable behavior; she is the epitome of political corruption and blind arrogance. Thank you for your letter.
I noted in your letter the following comment, “I await your defeat in the next election with glee”. Of course, that would be a great day to see her expelled from office by disgruntled voters. My understanding though is that she hails from a district in San Francisco where her voter base of hard left liberals is much larger than an opposing constituency. Is this the case or do you know if there is a local San Francisco movement afoot “fire” her. If so, I would like to contribute financially to that effort and would like know who to contact to make my contribution.
Thank you in advance for your kind response.
Mr. Guthrie wrote back:
In fact, Ms Pelosi has a strong opponent who I had the pleasure of having supper with a couple weeks ago named John Dennis. You can evaluate him yourself by going to johndennis2010.com. I am doing what I can for John from afar. John is a principled conservative CONSTITUTIONALIST. He needs all our help financially, endorsement wise and in merely spreading the word. Please let me know what you think after looking at his web page.Dennis L. Guthrie
I visited John Dennis' website and found this in his explanation of "why run?"
It's also important that those who can effectively deliver the liberty message do it. The time has passed to pretend that "someone else will do it."The deciding factor for me came down to this: When things get dark, which they will if we don't change our present course, I know that I will regret not having spoken out on this stage when I had the chance.
I don't believe that ANY Democrat will be safe in 2010. My friend is sending a cash donation to help Defeat Pelosi. I will do the same.
I'm in.
Dennis's candidacy defines "quixotic," but I do admire his spirit. I have wasted money on worse things.

But his views on privacy and the Patriot Act should be popular there.
Who knows, a few more public disputes with the CIA could take her down a few pegs. And making her spend at least some of her time campaigning could keep her out of the devil's workshop for a while.
