PLEASE - help CA dump Issa

Realizing there are many lunatic Congress critters that need to go, Darrell Issa has to be up in the top 5. Jerry Tetalman is running against him, but Issa so far has declined to debate him.

Here's a link to an online petition on that matter. It would be very powerful for Jerry to point this out as he's campaigning in the next weeks and months. But the petition needs lots of help. Please sign it and forward it to as many people you know, particularly in CA's 49th.

If ever there was a time to get rid of Issa, it's now....he's very vulnerable after all his time-wasting shenanigans with "Fast and Furious."

I do NOT want to sound negative but I've been assured so many times that pile of excrement is untouchable...

from his campaign that I've spoken with. But I'll tell you what, aquart, I'm going down to Carlsbad for a meeting at Jerry's headquarters Saurday morning to see what the heck I can do from Los Angeles. CA 49 deserves as good a Congressman as I've got in CA 31 - Xavier Becerra.

There are 11 competitive races in California, including three pickup opportunities that are toss-ups. This isn't one of them.

But, still, I get that. I've got a hard-core teabagger for family and another one (transgender) who can't pass up a Cracker Barrel.

We live in interesting times.

for those not clicking through, the petition is part of the opponent's campaign to embarass him for his refusal to debate.
