Willie Brown co-chairs Prop G-2d 49er Stadium Swindle; 3 weeks to June 3 election

by $
Millionaire Democrat Willie Brown, former crooked mayor and crooked Speaker of the Assembly, who became rich representing the racist, gentrification anti-rent control real estate interests and the gambling gangs, of which professional football is a part, is co-chair of the second 49er Stadium Swindle on the San Francisco ballot on June 3, 2008, the first being on the June 3, 1997 ballot.

This item was announced in the SF Chronicle, 5/11/08, by Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross, “49ers hedge stadium bets” at

It seems the 49ers may move to Brisbane instead of Santa Clara. It would be best if they disappeared altogether as the election fraud perpetrated by their supporters on June 3, 1997 to change our 70% No vote to 50.1% “yes” and the subsequent murder on December 13, 1997, 10 days after the election fraud lawsuit was filed, of our chief witness to the election fraud, Delores Evans, a pollworker, and 5 children in their Housing Authority home by a mysterious fire that the fire inspector said they could have escaped but someone stopped them, was a nightmare that mandates an end to any support from San Francisco voters for this gang and their 49er football gambling racket. For more on this election fraud, with the murder of Evans and the 5 children being at the beginning in the dedication to the memory of Delores Evans and the children, see:

The other co-chairs are the viciously reactionary, war profiteer Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and the local Democratic Party machine lackey, Supervisor Sophie Maxwell. See Matier & Ross, 11/18/07, at:

At age 74, Willie Brown apparently does not have enough money; his greed is insatiable, and the same is true of the Newsom-Pelosi-Lennar gang he represents. Lennar Corporation has a poor reputation as a business and developer. See:

THE OTHER MAJOR ISSUE ON THE VERY IMPORTANT JUNE 3 BALLOT IS REPEAL OF RENT CONTROL, PROPOSITION 98, FOR WHICH YOU MUST VOTE NO TO PREVENT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BECOMING HOMELESS IN CALIFORNIA. You have until May 19, 2008 to register for the June 3, 2008 election, which means THIS COMING THIRD WEEK BEFORE ELECTION DAY, you MUST RUN to your County Registrar, register to vote and vote right there absentee NO on 98/Yes on 99, Yes on F/No on G. Please sign up to be a permanent absentee voter so you never forget to vote, can vote in the comfort of your home, and do not have to worry about voting on a Tuesday. Absentee (vote by mail) voting starts 29 days before election day. In San Francisco, the Registrar is at City Hall, Van Ness and McAllister, basement, Van Ness side, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you did not receive your voting booklets for the February 2008 election at your current address, you are not registered and YOU MUST RE-REGISTER NOW. If you moved, YOU MUST RE-REGISTER NOW.

For more on San Francisco voter registration and campaigns, see:

For more on the horrors of Proposition 98, see

and

For more on the financing and text of Proposition 98, paid for by landlords, see:
http://www.calvoter.org/voter/elections/2008/state_primary/props/prop98.html

For more on Proposition 99, real eminent domain reform, see:
http://www.no98yes99.com/

While it is obvious that the endorsements and arguments favor the No on 98 campaign, THERE IS A SERIOUS QUESTION AS TO VOTER TURNOUT. WE MUST MAXIMIZE TURNOUT OF THE PRO-RENT CONTROL VOTERS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES TO DEFEAT PROPOSITION 98. The home you save will be your own. PLEASE HELP THE WORKINGCLASS NOW. Register to vote and Vote No on 98/Yes on 99, and in San Francisco, also Yes on F/No on G.

As to all San Francisco Propositions, Yes on A, D, E and F and No on all the rest.
