[Nfbc-info] FW: Meet Meg on February 17!

[Michael Peterson]

    Hi Chuck. Your right.  Whether it's just political flim flam or truth 
this candidate seems from her commercials to be listening to consumers more 
than most.  We really can't know if we don't communicate with her.  With 
California in the financial term-oil it's in right now and her early 
advertising campaign she has a decent shot at taking it.
Also since she is a republican if she could begin to turn things arround by 
2012 there is a real vacum in leadership on the national level she could 
fill and even become a presidential candidate.  If things don't turn arround 
for the current administration she very well could present a more formidible 
foe than John McCan did in the last election.
Whether she does or not we have a forum to get our issues out if she's 
receptive and not only will she listen but so will some of her political 
allies.
She also seems to have some great business connections that could help open 
the job marketand maybe if she's truly interested in education could take a 
lead in blindness issues.
I'm not ready to say vote for her but like you I concur it can't hurt 
exposing her to our issues.
Mike
