[Sosfbay-discuss] I support Paul Fong for Assembly

[Drew Johnson]

I met Paul Fong on the Freedom train up to SF on MLK day a couple years
back .  Paul is a Dem, but fairly (small 'g') green.  I actually talked to
him about the Green Party.  At some point if we become impressive enough
he may be interested I think.  He's a little more reserved in his
progressiveness than I would prefer, but over all I like his personality
and think he'd make a good Assembly person.  Below's a note from Dem Lynn
Huidekoper whom Jim D., Fred and I work with on the Single Payer
healthcare initiative.  She says she likes Caserta too but prefers Fong. 
Please try to forgive me for including her Dem stuff in this posting...


Green is Connection!

This is from the President of my Dem. club, Jon Kessler. I saw Dominic
Caserta at a Candidates Forum last Thursday evening. He is enthusiastic,
very articulate about all the issues, very much a supporter of 840(had
some great answers about it), impressive for a high school teacher. I met
several of his campaign staff at the forum and he's running a good
campaign. The endorsement by CNA will influence folks to vote for him if
they haven't heard the other candidates.However I support Paul and have
donated to his campaign. If you can help with the GOTV activities listed
below that would be great. Although Sally's shoes will be hard to fill
Paul is the best one to do so.Lynn

Hello Friends, I'm celebrating my Memorial Day by exercising my freedom to
influence our political process - and I hope you'll join me this week. The
California Democratic Party, the Sierra Club, NOW, Congressmembers Anna
Eshoo, Mike Honda and Zoe Lofgren, State Senators Joe Simitian, Byron Sher
(ret) and John Vasconcellos (ret), Assemblymembers Ira Ruskin, Sally
Lieber and Jim Beall have all endorsed PDC member Paul Fong for Assembly,
and he needs your help to win on June 3. We have reason to believe the
outcome of this race could be determined by a handful of votes, and that
it will be close. Please plan now to help us Get Out the Vote in this
final week before the election. If you're a vote-by-mail voter, please
mail in your completed ballot as soon as possible if you haven't already.
Your ballot must be RECEIVED by the Registrar of Voters by the time the
polls close on Tuesday June3. It is not enough to have it postmarked by
June 3 - any ballots received after 8 pm on June 3 will not be counted.
This means, to be on the safe side, that you should mail your ballot by
Friday, or else hand-carry the ballot to a polling place on Tuesday. Ways
to Help Out The campaign would like help with many kinds of activities
between now and the close of polls on June 3, at all hours. Some are
active and require walking and talking; others are more sedentary, like
putting on labels or driving a car. Please take time to volunteer today
