SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Dana is very honored to have the endorsement of such an accomplished and dedicated member of the Republican Party, Barbara Kiley, 12th Assembly District Member of the San Francisco Republican Party.
"Congress has many challenges that need to be resolved. We need the character and integrity of a person like Dana Walsh to tackle these challenges and ensure that America will remain a financially strong and independent country," said Barbara in her endorsement.
Barbara Kiley is a veteran member of the SFRP having served as Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Her involvement in the Republican Party started with the 1964 Goldwater Campaign and has been active ever since. Growing up in the bluest of blue states, right in Ted Kennedy's back yard, Massachusetts, Barbara knew she had to be a Republican.
As a corporate officer for a national securities firm, she also found time to be a tireless volunteer and organizer for Republican candidates and causes. Her endorsement of Dana makes perfect sense as they are both passionate about the right to bear arms, voter reform, private property rights and would like to see our elected officials reassess our immigration and border security policies.
She served as GOTV Chair for the Bush/Cheney Campaigns in 2000 and 2004. She also served on the San Francisco Panel of the White House Fellowship Commission 2001-2009. Her other campaign experiences includes Reagan for Governor, Nixon for President, Reagan for President, Matt Fong for Senate, Lungren for Governor, Wilson for Governor, Simon for Governor and Ribera for Mayor. She was the San Francisco Republican Volunteer of the Year in 1996.

Last Friday, Nancy Pelosi told the media that Democrats would pass major health care legislation this year; something she promised in 2009 as well. Then she described how the bill is a principal means by which the Democratic Leadership in Washington plans to get the economy back on track.
Within the proposed health care legislation, there is a stimulus measure allowing the federal government to invest billions of taxpayers’ dollars in medical research. Pelosi told New York Times writer David M. Herszenhorn that your money will be used “for investments in basic biomedical research, research with the power to cure, research paid for by the taxpayer, the benefits of which should be available to every person in America.”
Taking money out of your pockets and putting it in the hands of medical researchers—that is how Nancy Pelosi plans to create jobs in San Francisco.
According to the PhRMA, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, U.S. drug companies spent $39.4 billion on research and development in 2005, alone.
Don’t let Nancy Pelosi take another one of your dollars and put it in the hands of major corporations! Not only does excessive government spending hurt your monthly checkbooks but it also hurt our nation’s future economic health and long-term prosperity.
As a successful entrepreneur, Dana knows that investing in small businesses will create jobs and lead the American economic recovery. She knows what it is like to balance a budget and make tough decisions when it comes to cutting costs. Dana will provide the kind leadership that benefits small businesses and boosts the bottom line.
With Pelosi in charge, San Franciscans & all Americans will continue to experience excessive tax burdens and out of control government spending. The kind of leadership that will ruin healthcare reform and is just downright bad business.

People across the city of San Francisco and all across the country are gathering together to enjoy Super Bowl XLIV tonight. Even if you don't consider yourself a football fan, everyone is a fan of some part of the Superbowl... You might be a fan of the extra time with your friends and family, a quarterback duel for the ages, the half-time performances, or maybe you are a bigger fan of the commercials than the actual game! Regardless, on Super Bowl Sunday, everyone is a fan.
No one who knows Nancy Pelosi harbors any illusion that she is even capable of bipartisan leadership, much less committed to it. The total lack of transparency in developing the Health Care Reform bill shows she has no intention of hearing from anyone who doesn’t agree with her leftist agenda.
When even the Associated Press writes, “Republicans weren’t invited” to the deliberations, what are the chances the general public would get to see the wheeling and dealing? And the list of those who were invited….well, that’s none of our business, apparently.
The head of C-Span noted that since the earlier negotiations were closed, perhaps “letting the sun shine in on the “critical stage of reconciliation between the chambers” would be appropriate. Don’t hold your breath.
The image of the speaker of the House literally giggling when reminded of Obama’s campaign promise to air the health care reform hearings was disturbing. She added “There were a number of things he swore on the campaign trail…” to chuckles from her colleagues, including tax cheat Charlie Rangel. Viewers are left with the distinct impression that Nancy and her comrades consider campaign promises a joke.
But apparently the joke is on us. Her remark that “tens of thousands of people participated in our town meetings.” on the health care bill is surreal. It is clear she TOTALLY ignored the town halls – and their message: “Kill the Bill.”
A side note: Closing Republicans out of the health care debate was petty and irresponsible. To misrepresent them saying that they had no ideas was an outright lie. The Republicans proposed 37 bills each of which addressed specific health reform issues separately – instead of the convoluted labyrinth of the Democrat Bill.
Nancy Pelosi has gone beyond double-speak when she characterizes her handling of the health care bill debacle as “open” or “transparent.” Her heavy-handed handling of the health care bill was so egregious that she had no credibility as a leader.
Question: Which phrase is more ludicrous when it comes from the speaker’s mouth; “transparent government” or “the most ethical congress in history.”
High number of small dollar donors, contributions from all 50 states
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The Dana Walsh for Congress Campaign is seeking to unseat Nancy Pelosi in the 8th CD; a goal that is becoming even more tangible due to the overwhelming growth of grassroots support. Dana has received financial contributions from every state in the country, totaling just under $400,000.
Her campaign has raised 7 times more money than her Republican primary opponent, solidifying her place as the true Republican candidate and formidable opponent to Nancy Pelosi. Even more impressive is the fact that over 90% of her contributions were less than $200, further displaying the actual grassroots support behind Dana. Over 13,000 everyday Americans have donated to her campaign as they believe she is the candidate to unseat Nancy Pelosi. This number is growing by the hour as more people learn about her campaign and see her as a means of taking our country back.
Her campaign invites you to join in celebrating "Retire Nancy Pelosi Week." Visit www.DanaWalshforCongress.com, to learn more, sign the transparency petition, read Dana's blogs, view her videos and see what's new in this exciting campaign and historical race.

Washington Examiner - Oct. 6, 2009 - Americans are angry that Congress votes on bills without reading them, and that it refuses to publish bills online well in advance of Congress' vote. Congress resists this common-sense transparency to avoid answering to the public. When will they get that they're accountable to the public?
San Francisco Examiner - Oct. 7, 2009 - Congressional leadership engages in deceptive, secret manuevers to ensure that few understand what is actually in the health care bill. They intend to continue obscuring their process.
Pelosi is very comfortable with the power she has and doesn't really care that she is widely mistrusted or that the public by wide margins do not want the overbearing, back-room drafted legislation she is muscling through Congress.

We need the resources to spread our message across the Bay Area that it's time for Nancy Pelosi to retire, and time for the American people to take back our Congressional seat.
