YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO STOP SCHWARZENEGGER

An old pal from the early days of the Howard Dean campaign, Suzanne Savage, is working full time trying to stop Governor Gropenator's Prop 75 (the Republican's dream bill to further weaken and marginalize unions). Suzanne asked me to let DWT readers know that they can volunteer to save the Democratic Party at the Alliance for a Better California headquarters in North Hollywood. They run a phonebank every Sunday through Thursday, noon to 9pm. And despite hopes to the contrary, emails, anger and indignation don't get occassional voters to the polls. They need a personal conversation-- quick and friendly-- to get the message across. So they need volunteers to do that.

This is a state campaign with national implications. Prop 75 is a union busting, anti Democratic measure. If it succeeds, it will be on every ballot nationwide within the year, and organized labor will be unable to fund Democratic campaigns. It's what Washington wants, which is why they have a right wing extremist who funded it to be on the ballot, and companies like Wal-Mart funding its ad campaign.

Their address is:
11256 Magnolia Blvd. (between Lankershim and Tujunga)
North Hollywood
