Progressives rarely spend as much money as our opponents and we usually don’t have the mainstream press with us. When we win elections, it is usually with shoe leather.
Right now, progressive campaigns for the DCCC are joining in coalition with tenant activists, affordable housing organizers, environmentalists, teachers, and City workers to change San Francisco. This turnout effort very well could decide the fate of both the local Democratic Party and even the future of the Bayview Hunters Point.
We will be delivering our message of change, with our CHANGE Slate, to progressive voters and getting out the vote. Please join us.
We are in the final stretch and will need lots of volunteers from now through Tuesday. Come to our headquarters at 2797 16th Street at Folsom, under the All Star Hotel, for these activities:
Friday 11 am – 7 pm: we need help all day to preparing materials and in the evening commute we will do street visibility.
Saturday 11 am: distributing literature in tenants neighborhoods the Haight, Mission and Castro, street visibility.
Sunday 11 am: distributing literature in tenants neighborhoods the Haight, Mission and Castro, street visibility
Monday 4 pm – 8:30 pm: distributing literature in tenants neighborhoods and at muni stops, street visibility
ELECTION DAY Tuesday, June 3rd: come at 11 am or 4 pm till 8:30 pm
Take Election Day off to help get out the vote! We will be going door to door to get out the vote and doing street visibility. If you can’t get off work, come after work.

This isn’t really related but, even though I don’t live in District 9, I have been won over by Eric Quezada. I’ll contact all the people I know who live in that district and tell them to vote for him.
I checked out his campaign website and what really impressed me was his detailed, long-standing and almost scientific understanding of the most important issue that The City is facing: the lack of affordable housing. In this time and place in San Francisco history, he seems born to take on the job.
According to his website, the only problem that I have with Eric is that he seems EXCLUSIVELY focused on that issue. I would like him to expand on and detail other ideas.

Way to use your blog in a practical manner. A simple listing of where to meet goes a long way, and I hope to run into you somewhere along the way.

My father worked at Hunters Point when we lived on Navy Rd. in 1944. Over many years later into adulthood,I lived and worked numerous parts of this mainly African American and misrepresented by preacher Toms and a young pridless Aunt Jamima Community. Chris,you are dealing with Bush’s Lennar theives and a fake Democrat boy with Tom support,plus some rich Turncoats who used to represent real power for Democratic justice,here in our beseiged beautiful city. That bunch of Texas bums with money really have deluded themselves they are faced with intimadated Texas share croppers here in Northern California. That Nazi in Sacramento is just passing thru,too. Time heals.

I thought I already did up top. Anyhow money can’t buy winners who never were for sale. There is nothing competitive about a bum wearing costume “respect”(a necktie and suit). Even big money does not buy him a win. You know this already,dont forget,now.
