Although the official announcement will not come until February 17th, the following was posted on the blog of veteran activist Cheri Honkala‘s son, who is himself a somewhat famous actor:
This is my mother Cheri Honkala. My mother and I were homeless for a couple years when I was 10 years old. Since then my mother has become one of the most effective human rights activists in the world. Due to the foreclosure crisis happening in this country, she has decided to run for Sheriff in Philadelphia to personally prevent foreclosures of peoples homes.
Please share this video. We can make an impact.
It’s up to us.

Brilliant idea.
The Green Party needs to run Sheriff candidates nationwide to stop the foreclosures and theft of poor peoples homes!!
Great story Ross!
1 in 5 American family homes in foreclosure.
That will get folks to vote for the Green Party anti-foreclosure Sheriff candidates!!!.
How’s Mayor Bloomberg on the whole foreclosure enforcement issue?
Cheri will be at our February meeting, on the 24th. More info:

So glad the Green Party is putting forth such an amazing candidate for Philadelphia sheriff. It’s about time a major political party has the guts to fight a worthwhile battle.
Can you tell me more about the Green Party?
Calling all effeminate gardeners, in and out of Kansas, the party symbol remains the sun flower ………
