From California Greening
Pat LaMarche [...] was the Veep candidate who tan with David Cobb in 2004. Well, not being one to just talk about things, she is down in New Orleans helping out with Malik Rahim’s campaign. The following was posted as being the contents of a note from Pat.
please tell everyone we love them and we have a campaign that actually could win.
please tell them that i was at the common ground collective today and met a woman returning to her home in the ninth ward tomorrow for the first time in three years. tell them that she was so happy and it was malik and common ground that made it possible. then tell them that after malik got her some lunch because her life is so hectic today… that she told me about her brother dying … drowning as he helped her save their children’s lives.
please tell everyone that this is a man they can help new orleans send to congress and we are doing the best we can… but we need the international leverage… money.
help!!!!! anyone thinking of coming here to hellp….. donate the amount you would have paid for your plane ticket. he has such a great organization here… it only needs fuel for the engine and unfortuantely that’s money.
we can do this.
Thank you for the update, Pat… and for the story. We need to make sure that everyone understand the stark contrast that exists between Rahim and Jefferson. While one was rebuilding New Orleans, the other was stocking up his freezer.

Is Helena Moreno still running against Jefferson?

Yes, Moreno is running against Jeffereson.
Pat LaMarche should seek the 2012 Green Party presidential nod.

Yes, Moreno is running against Jefferson
No, that was in the primary.
The candidates in this race:
Democratic incumbent William J. Jefferson, Republican candidate Anh Cao, Libertarian Party candidate Gregory Kahn, and independent Jerry Jacobs.

As a volunteer for Malik Rahim in New Orleans, I don’t understand Pat’s comment.
She does not hold an official position in the campaign as far as I know.
The campaign manager is Robert Caldwell, John Aitkeison is the laison for those supporters outside of New orleans.
Volunteers passing out literature, etc are worth much more than the cost of their airplane tickets.
Plenty of money is coming in via donations from all over the country.
I have asked for clarification from the campaign committe but have not received a response as of yet.
