Bono opponent on Civil Rights (Roth for congress CA45)
I urge you to acquaint yourself with Bono's stand on all GLBT issues and you will learn that she has never gone out of her way to lobby on behalf of the GLBT community in Washington -- even if she wanted to she couldn't because her party would never listen to her. Ask her if she supports gay marriage. Ask her why she voted in favor of the so-called “Defense of Marriage Act?" Does she support GLBT adoption? Does she support ending discrimination by the military? Would she vote to continue to allow religious discrimination against the GLBT community? Then ask her if she would say publicly to her conservative cronies in Washington what she would say to the GBLT here at home. If Bono were willing to seek out the thoughts and ideas of her constituency, she would learn that ordinary folk do not appear to be as interested in “re-arranging private lives” as she and her cronies are. We deserve better. David Roth believes in and will vote to protect our personal freedoms.

7. Very quiet, Bonehead is trying to avoid a debate
As she is not that bright , and has a lot to explain. Roth is having town hall meetings, that she is invited to, today I missed my town. Incidentally, Angelides was in Palm Desert today , too

8. Don't know, I am relatively new to the area
I was on a cruise when I heard it. I think it is impossible to defame a GOP rep, dead or alive.

5. Anyone else have a problem with widows/widowers holding the seat?
Till the special election, sure. But full time? What if they know nothing about being a member of Congress? Although in the Bono's case, that was the deceased
