Hi Folks,<BR>
<BR>
Here in Milpitas, I am the only candidate standing for Mayor against the incumbent, Jose Esteves. I want the endorsement of the Santa Clara County Green Party. Who would I talk with about that possibility?<BR>

Hello, All:
FRIDAY, 9 AM, 17 AUGUST: REQUEST RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST BANK OF
AMERICA ATTORNEY, SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT, DEPT. 18, 161 NORTH
FIRST STREET, SAN JOS?, CA
An important hearing is scheduled for 9 AM this Friday, 17 August
in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Dept. 18, 161 North First Street
in San Jose: David (Merritt) is requesting a restraining order against
Goliath (Attorney James Goldberg representing Bank of America, et al.)
in response to alleged unprofessional and illegal physical and verbal
assault on David and Salma Merritt and witnesses during a court-ordered
deposition of Salma Merritt.
We all want to believe that our courts are fair and impartial.
Unfortunately, most major incumbent politicians these days have been
elected with massive "contributions" from big money, who on average
receive massive returns on those investments estimated at between $6 and
$220 for each $1 invested in lobbying and political campaigns.[1]
Judicial appointments are often made based on the preferences of major
campaign contributors.[2]
Your presence in the courtroom at that time might help the judge
to interpret any ambiguity in the law in favor of David.
SATURDAY, 1 - 4 PM, 15 SEPTEMBER: FORECLOSURE SUMMIT, NEW COMMUNITY OF
FAITH, 6350 RAINBOW DRIVE, SAN JOS?, CA
A Foreclosure Summit is scheduled for Saturday, 15 Sept., 1-4 PM,
at the New Community of Faith church, 6350 Rainbow Drive, San Jose, CA,
co-sponsored by Occupy San Jos?, the Green Party of Santa Clara County,
and others. The program will consist of presentations by leaders in the
fight against illegal foreclosures, followed by small group discussions
of the issues and ending with an open discussion of the possible next
steps. For more information, see "Foreclosure Summit",
occupy.pbworks.com
(<A HREF="http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/54238941/Foreclosure%20Summit">http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/54238941/Foreclosure%20Summit</A>).
In Santa Clara County alone, an estimated 24 families have lost
their homes every day since Oct. 2007. This crisis is forecasted to
continue through 2015. I believe that concerned citizens can reverse
this trend and roll back the changes in law over the past 35 years,
especially the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999, that have given the
finance industry a third of US domestic corporate profits since 2000 and
restore sanity and stability to international finance. However, we
cannot do it alone.
Best Wishes,
Spencer
