She will work hard to rebuild thriving economies, protect health and access to quality care, apply innovative solutions to public safety and implement clean renewable energy programs which will benefit communities for generations to come.
As a maternity clinical specialist and a women’s health nurse practitioner, Adams has dedicated her life to healthy families. As a public servant, she has worked to create health communities. Currently Adams serves as President of the Marin County Board of Supervisors, where she has earned a reputation for innovative solutions to local problems, including her work on green energy jobs and therapeutic justice programs.

Her brother has served seven tours of duty overseas compelling her to work even harder to bring our men and women home and she will continue to make veterans’ affairs a top priority—including their post war after care. Her family has owned a ranch in Boonville, Mendocino for several generations.
Adams has served at the National Association of Counties on the Health Steering Committee, was appointed to the California Chief Justice’s Task Force on Mentally Ill Offenders and has served with county supervisors in all 58 California counties on the State Association and serves in a leadership position for the National Association of Counties Health Committee.

… and the point is?

Point? I’m announcing a campaign event for a candidate for political office, as I do for any candidate who sends me a notice for publication.
I don’t know if there’s a point. Is there one for you?

Joe Blow
It may come as a surprise to you, but I know exactly what you’re doing and why. Consequently, the question is rhetorical. So being – What’s the point?

God, I am so very tired of your blathering idiocy and conspiracy theories Joe.
Erik, ever considered banning unproductive posters?

Susan Adams has my vote — she had me at “nurse.”
Like most Americans, I think, I am sick to death of the egocentric talk-professionals who populate Congress, the media, and the upper ranks of American business. Too many lawyers and salespeople, not enough nurses. A willingness to change bed-pans should be a prerequisite for “service” in Congress. Too many men, not enough women.
I know there are several good candidates running. I no longer care how well they can articulate the issues, because the issues have been obvious for decades. I want people who understand sickness and vulnerability, and who have a demonstrated record of caring enough to help in unglamorous ways.
Susan Adams for Congress.

Jim, As long as Joe Blow doesn’t use profanity or slander against individuals, I’m sure he can stay. Joe Blow is obviously incapable of articulating his thoughts, however, at least today. Tea-Party mentality–just making stuff up and being righteous about it.
That said, Thank you Eric for keeping us informed. The point is simple: a candidate is coming and we should all have opportunity to go if we feel like it, regardless of whether we think the system is worthy of participating in.
And by saying dumb things, people can direct attention to themselves and they do that exactly just like a car crash attracts attention on an otherwise tranquil drive.
And I’d suggest someone look up rhetorical in the dictionary rather than use big words he learned yesterday on his vocabulary calendar and decided to use in a sentence (incorrectly).

My dictionary defines “rhetorical question” in a way that is consistent with Joe Blow’s usage. — Let’s not cast stones, Skunk.

Sure Erasmus, I won’t throw stones. Let’s let Webster do it.
The Art or study of using language effectively and persuasively.
Not that one since neither Eric or I know can discern what he’s talking about.
A style of speaking or writing.
No real “style” there. Not long enough to discern style, really. So not that one.
Rhetoric: Language that is elaborate, pretentious, insincere, or intellectually vacuous.
Oh, Damn, he was being rhetorical.

What’s the matter, Kirk? You know exactly what I mean, so why don’t you set these interlopers straight?
Of course, if you did that they’d probably call you a blathering idiot too. Which is what all parasites do when they can’t justify their existence.
For the record, if I wanted attention and recognition I’d use my name. Problem is, I did make my point, didn’t I. A clear demonstration of the ROT.

Maybe this will help: [OWS Is Not Concerned With Candidates Or Voting To Make Change] “This movement is so beyond just, hey, let’s get behind this candidate, get them elected to office. Those days are over. You know, we’ve all worked for candidates. We’ve all voted. We’ve all participated. And what have we gotten out of it? We’ve all written to our Congressmen and women, please pass House bill number 3428. What did we get? Where are we? We’re in the worst shape we have been in this country that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. And, and so, this movement is not right now concerned with candidates or specific bills in Congress.” -Source.

Oh, I get it now. By posting information about a candidate I am shilling for the body politic. You know, the dominant paradigm.
It’s fine that OWS is not concerned with candidates and bills in Congress. I on the other hand am concerned with those things. Hence my post, although at this time I lean towards Soloman. But I remain undecided.

Eric,
I attended Susan Adams’ talk at Trinidad Town Hall. I hope you check out her background and experience. As she explained at the meeting, she and Solomon would probably vote identically on about 98% of legislation, but she would bring a somewhat different background and approach.
I’m a bit of a class traitor, but I feel more and more strongly that the people I want in politics must be very different than the usual suspects, no matter how eloquent, hard-working, or simpatico the usual suspects might be. I think President Obama’s many failures are fueling my feelings.
Put most simply, I don’t want another lawyer in Congress, even another lawyer-writer-philosopher. I do want more women in Congress, particularly women who have worked as nurses, Professors, and local supes.
(One minor anecdote: she refuses her payment for a county car, because she lives close enough to things that she can walk or bike. Sure, it could be a cynical gesture. I don’t think it is.)

Mitch – she will be my guest on my next radio show, so I’ll certainly give her a good look over.
One of my criteria for a candidate is that he or she must have a reasonable chance to pass by Dan Roberts in the primary and defeat Huffman in the general. Roberts is in second right now with the Republican bloc behind him, but the best he can do is make it to the general where he’ll be clobbered by pretty much any of the other candidates.
