Obama accepts support from anti-American as a bundler in his campaign

XVZ · #1 (**permalink**) 09-20-2008, 02:38 PM

Obama is accepting honor and support from extremist Jodie Evans who is a member of Code Pink and guilty of attempting to storm the stage during Governor Palin's acceptance speech at the RNC. Obama has accepted this nutbag Jodie Evans into Obama's campaign as a bundler and even welcomed her to Obama's $28,500 per person Hollywood fundraiser featuring Obama's fellow celebrity Barbra Streisand.

Jodie Evans, member and supporter of the Obama campaign, is a supporter of terrorists in Iraq and an apologist for Osama bin Laden. Why won't Obama reject this anti-American extremist? Does Obama hold some of the same views as anti-American Jodie Evans?

He needs the cash from where ever he can get it. Add her to the list of anti-American people and groups that support Obama.

Isn't it cute to see, as Obama moves higher in the polls and McCain slips into obscurity, that our little "me hatee" kids are cuddling with each other, reporting each and every little bit of anti-Obama nonsense they find on the Internet, and then congratulating each other.

Hold on to each other, children. It will make the next several weeks less painful for you.

Now we're attacking low level, obscure Obama campaigners.

It's PRECIOUS, really!

Your inability to add anything of value to a thread continues. Nothing to deny the facts of the OP, just a whiny post that shows limp wristed thoughts.

How can Obama take money from this poster child for the looniest nut bag of the year, and still claim to support the military?

Meh. Interesting to know. But I doubt her inclusion will cost Obama a vote. Anyone who would care about something like that is probably already voting for McCain.

A terrorist huh? She doesn't sound like a terrorist to me.

Jodie has been a community, social and political organizer for the last 30 years. She has used her skills,for the protection of the earth, to give voice to communities and people who go unheard and unseen, in the area of human and civil rights, to protect the rights of women, to raise the minimum wage for farm workers, to protect dolphins, in El Salvador in the early 80's and with Zapitistas since '94.

From 1973 to 1982, she served in administrative capacities in all of Jerry Brown's campaigns and in his staff and cabinet as Director of Administration. Breakthroughs in wind and solar energy happened while she was overseeing the office of Appropriate Technology.

During the years between 1985 and 1990, she took time off to be a mother while running the Hereditary Disease Foundation and founding the Grief Recovery Center after the death of her daughter. During this period, she was very active as the west coast board member of the Women's Campaign Fund, chair of the federal candidates committee of the Women's Political Committee, member of the Hollywood Women's Political Committee. She also raised money for out of state women candidates for federal offices and pro choice groups CARAL and Voters for Choice. With a group of women friends concerned about bringing children in to this world founded Environmental Media Association.

Along with a group of friends from the Brown administration, she was one of the founding board members of Sand County, a venture capital fund. The purpose of the fund was to invest in start up companies that solved environmental or social problems. This company also spawned a tax-free muni bond fund, The Muir Fund, that was named the fifth best fund in California in 1993. Some of it's other successes were Working Assets Funding Service and Odwalla Juices. She was also a member of the Social Venture Network, business owners and investors with a commitment to bring social and human values in to the work place.

In 1990, Jodie was very active in the Big Green campaign. After it's defeat, she, along with her partners Tom Hayden and Cathryn Tiddens, opened the first environmental department store, Terra Verde in Santa Monica. She also served as a board member of People for Parks, which was successful in passing an initiative for more funding to save the public parks in Los Angeles. Her other areas of involvement were supporting activists organizations such as, Citizen Action, Neighbor to Neighbor, Earth Island Institute, Environmental Media Association, Interfaith Task Force on Central America, International Overseas Education Fund, Los Angeles Women's Foundation, El Rescate, C.A.R.E., etc.

In 1991, she came back together with her friend Jerry Brown to run his campaign for President which was based on political reform and a $100. contribution limit. The innovations she began in his campaign have become the standard in all campaigns.

Following the campaign, she created We the People to encourage those that had been motivated by the efforts of the campaign to work in their communities by creating community projects and instilling them with habits of democracy and to continue the fight against big money in the election process. She also produced the radio program 'We the People with Jerry Brown', a daily liberal talk show. The best seller, Dialogues, is based on interviews from this show. From '94 she spent 4 years producing Stripped and Teased; Tales of Las Vegas Women.

She then co-created, with Georgia Kelly, a Peace Conference in Dubrovnik in June of 1999, about imagining Peace in the 21st century. The documentary "Unfinished Peace" created at the conference by 29 youth from the Balkan States, was in the Sundance Film Festival in 2001. After producing the very successful day of events for Mayor Jerry Brown's inaugural, Celebrating Oakland, she produced with her 2 partners the world Festival of Sacred Music in Los Angeles, 9 days and 85 concerts of sacred music, in October of '99, an event inspired by the Dalai Lama. She recently finished producing the Shadow Conventions 2000, alternative conventions to politics as usual.

In April 2002 she wrote a mission statement for Bad Babes and their Buddies, took it to a gathering she assisted in organizing that became Unreasonable Women of the Earth her life has been consumed with Codepink: Women for Peace since September of 2002 http://www.codepink4peace.org/article.php?id=53

But, everyone from the Right has to label everyone they don't like a terrorist. If this was during the Nixon admin, she would be a commie. It just means: "people we don't like".
