Cheri Honkala is the Green Party nominee for Philadelphia Sheriff. Her campaign has posted a number of videos to YouTube. The most recent is here, and several others are “below the fold”.

Im impressed by her speaking skills. I hope she wins!
You missed the best one there is! She’s got a funny show on public access now:

She was also on the city’s NPR station this morning, with the four other candidates (no other independents or third parties) running for sheriff. Here’s a link to that:

Also, the journalist John Grant wrote a great piece about “Cheri Honkala as Robin Hood:” http://thiscantbehappening.net/node/584
I just watched the Love Park video from April 23 – it’s incredible. It’s one of the best political speeches I’ve seen lately…there should be more environmentalists talking like that. And I’m not just saying that because I support the campaign.
And not to comment so many times, but there’s a petition you can sign online to get the Committee of 70 (a Philly civic group) to stop ignoring Honkala’s candidacy:

I signed Ross, although I’m not sure how much influence a signature from South Carolina will be worth. Even so, it was quick and easy, so why not?
Please let the person who sends out the photographs know that I intend to auction it off at our annual meeting on May 14th…it would be great if I had it in hand at the time. :-) I know mailing out photographs isn’t top of the agenda, but it would be great if I had it in time.
