Ive seen that posted all over this site, what are you talking about. And who are you? that looks like a paid ad for Newsom. Is it? I cant seem to find it on Google when I look and its too long for you to have typed from scratch...

Newsom's PR money goes a long way which is why he will probably get elected.

If you have seen it in its hidden form. It has never been allowed to see the light of day.

Think its an ad? Just go to the links. Yep, even the Taxi Drivers union of the AFL supported Gavin Newsom. Truth hurts, doesn't it?

It's magic

>that looks like a paid ad for Newsom. Is it?

This refers to a comment that was removed because it looked like like a paid ad for Newsom. It wasn't. It was yet another underhanded attempt to hijack SF-IMC's time, money and energy. No, we wont let you do that.

How do you know that wasnt an ad by one of Newson's consultant goons?

The links and quotes are real but it would take quite awhile for someone to compile those endorsements in that form...

UTW has made the following endorsements:
Board of Supervisors District 2 (Marina/Pacific Heights): Gavin Newsom
United Taxicab Workers was begun in 1987 by four cab drivers m. The Amazing Array of Issues that Will Not Go Awayting in a Mission District cafe. Since then, we have grown to include hundreds of drivers drawn from all of San Francisco's major cab garages, and many smaller companies as well.

UTW is affiliated with Communications Workers of America (AFL-CIO). Through CWA, we offer members a number of benefits, such as a group health plan, dental plan and credit union membership. But the main reason for joining is to be part of an organization devoted to the cause of drivers' rights.
