Blanchard Message-ID: <20051005181606.51616.qmail@web81105.mail.yahoo.com> Christine H. Blanchard By Enterprise staff Published Oct 04, 2005 - 14:31:01 CDT. Christine H. Blanchard, a longtime resident of Davis, died Oct. 1, 2005, at the University Retirement Community. She was 97 years old. A memorial service will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 640 Hawthorn Lane in Davis. She was born in New York City on Oct. 26, 1907, and was educated in private schools in New York, then graduated from Smith College as a history major. She also attended Simmons College, where she earned her master's degree in medical social work. During her first years as a social worker in Washington, D.C., she met her future husband, J. Richard Blanchard, who was working in the Library of Congress. The couple married in 1939 and continued to live in Arlington, Va., where their three children were born. Her husband served in Europe as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Shortly after his return they moved to Lincoln, Neb., where he was the university librarian. Then came the welcome call to Davis, where he served as head librarian at UC Davis from 1951 until his retirement in 1974. When the Blanchards arrived in Davis, the population was only 3,354, and then, as now, there was a severe housing shortage. They settled at the edge of town, on West Eighth Street, where the paving ended. Almost immediately she became involved in volunteering to help with community services. First she was active in the Davis Parent Nursery School, and then she ran successfully for the Davis Board of Education. She served on the board during the tumultuous years of 1962 to 1974. It was during those years that the groundwork was laid for Davis' present excellent school system. She was always a strong advocate for universal education for every child regardless of background or special abilities. One of her favorite achievements was starting the day care center for the children of migrant farm workers at Ciudad del Sol, just outside Davis. Her involvement in community activities was wide-ranging. She was among the founders of St. Martin's Episcopal Church, was a charter member and first president of the Yolo Family Service Agency, served on the Davis Human Relations Council, was chairwoman of the Yolo County Grand Jury, was instrumental in founding the Yolo County chapter of Planned Parenthood, helped to found the free clinics in Yolo County, helped create the Economic Opportunity Commission of Davis, and was active in STEAC. Her activities were well-recognized. Among other citations, she received the Yolo County Bar Association's Liberty Bell award for community service, and she was named Davis Citizen of the Year in 1970. She was also pleased to be given a lifetime membership in the PTA. Although she was a moderate Republican in her native New York, she soon became an ardent Democrat in Davis. She spent many years promoting Democratic candidates and causes, and recently was re-elected to the Democratic Central Committee of Yolo County. She never missed voting in an election and cherished the right of every citizen to vote. She was predeceased by her husband, J. Richard Blanchard, and her daughter Mary Elizabeth Bogard. She is survived by her son, Richard C. Blanchard and his wife Hermie Blanchard of Fremont; and by her daughter, Christine H. Ramm and her husband Edward Ramm of San Diego. She is further survived by five grandchildren, Michelle C. Blanchard of Stevenson Ranch, R. Craig Blanchard of Oakland, Kelly Mortensen of San Diego; James Ramm of San Diego and Travis Bogard of Gerlach, Nev., and four great-grandchildren, Dominic Pittman, Neiko Pittman, Malieya Pittman and Hayden Mortensen. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be sent to Yolo Hospice, Yolo Family Service Agency or STEAC.

Message-ID: <20051007000320.94181.qmail@web30301.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Fellow Activists: Sometimes, our efforts pay off. This past spring, I asked you to give five minutes of your time to email and call Yolo County Supervisor Mariko Yamada to encourage her to support Cache Creek as a Wild and Scenic River. Organizers in Woodland were also able to convince Supervisor Frank Seiferman to support the WSR designation. These efforts then paid-off as Mariko and Frank trusted us in the environmental community and changed the way they intended to vote. Today, your efforts have born fruit. I just got word from Bob Schneider that the Governor signed into law the legislation that designates Cache Creek as a Wild and Scenic River. Thanks to your help in the early stages of getting local support, a small piece of the earth now has permanent protection. Without your help the Yolo County vote would have gone the other way. Without Yolo County support, Lake County would have voted against it. Without the two counties directly affected by Cache Creek, the Lois Wolk?s bill would have faced certain doom. Thanks for making a difference. Keep hope alive!

Otherwise the e-mail will sit on the server until Bob Bockwinkel or I can approve the message. If you are posted to the list, please send the copy of the e-mail only to the list. Please do not cc' or bcc' any other e-mail list or e-mail address on that e-mail. The other thing that is hanging up the messages on the server is that people are cc'ing other people on the e-mail sent to the list. If they are not already on the e-mail list, the list will not forward that e-mail on to the people or the list. For instance Helen Thompson is not on the list as a receiving member of e-mail from the list, hence the e-mail is sitting on the server for approval. The e-mail is being sent by a person that is authorized to post to the list, but the cc'ed addresses is stopping it from being process by the Mailman list management program. I currently am overwhelmed with work and cannot go into the server without spending an hour over there and I have to send out 50 letters with billing invoices today (which I have been working on since Thursday evening) and have two dozen tasks on my desk at the moment.

From Adrienne at dcn.org Tue Oct 4 15:55:54 2005 From: Adrienne at dcn.org (Adrienne Kandel) Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2005 15:55:54 -0700 Subject: [Davis Democrats] FW: Immediate action needed for Open Voting Message-ID: <200510042256.j94Mu83E018645@wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us> 1. Call the gov at 916-445-2841 and express support of S.B. 370, which it looks like he may be pocket-vetoing. SB 370 makes the voter verified paper trail the official record in case of recount or audit. You can't have democracy so long as the black box tabulators officially determine the outcome. S.B. 370 was written by Senator Debra Bowen, candidate for Sec. of State. Sadly, Republican Sec of State McPherson has urged Schwarzeneggar to veto this bill. I honestly can't think of a valid reason and can only note that Diebold and its ilk are Republican contributors, and at the least want payback and at the most want to help steal elections. One friend's analysis shows the recall (of Davis) effort succeeded only in each county with votes counted by machines, so it's possible the gov and friends have stooped so low as to choose what gives them wins over what gives us democracy. 2. Act on the Open Voting announcement below. This time talk to your state senator, assemblyman, and Mr. McPherson to get open code voting software implemented. It looked like it was going to happen, and now it looks like McPherson is backing out, perhaps under voting industry pressure. I don't know how honest his intentions were when he became Sec. of State, but he has become a man who will urge a veto of paper record recounts. Perhaps he hasn't forgot that right after his predecessor Kevin Shelley decertified some Diebold machines, the media received enough dirt on Shelley to drive him out of office. If you need any convincing that our democracy is over if we cannot openly count our votes, go to blackboxvoting.org (Bev Harris's site) or blackboxvoting.com (David Allen's site) and see whatever is their latest in shocking findings.

Two things: Please speak up for Open Voting! Letters, emails, faxes, phones calls. The situation is described below. The California Secretary of State could use some encouragement to get going on the report on open source software for elections. We need letters to CA legislators as well as the Secretary of State. I also need money! We still have matching funds available. With two days left in our pledge drive, we're far behind our goal. Please contribute now. See your contribution doubled immediately!! If you are a California resident, please write to your Senator, Assemblyperson, as well as Secretary of State Bruce McPherson. If you are outside of California, I think you can still write effectively. Afterall, Microsoft of Washington state, lobbies in all the states regardless. The other 4 letters complete the story. 1) SEP 8 letter from Assemblywoman Goldberg to Secretary McPherson urging public hearings. http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/ad/goldberg98.pdf 2) SEP 21 letter from McPherson to Charlene Woodcock says he "will be appointing a task force consisting of experts such as Mr. Dechert to conduct a study of Open Source Code and provide it to the Legislature." http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/ad/sos-letter-921.pdf 3) SEP 28 letter from Chief of Elections Caren Daniels-Meade to Alan Dechert indicating they have made no decisions on what they will do. http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/ad/cdm928.pdf 4) OCT 3 letter from me to Secretary McPherson -- he may be facing pressure from industry to sandbag the report. http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/ad/sos-letter-oct3.pdf So, if writing to your senator/assemblymember, a template might look like this ********* Hon.

We agree with Assemblywoman Goldberg's prescription: "meetings in public and treat them like a legislative hearing." Please let Secretary McPherson know that the report he issues to the Legislature will be much more believable if the information gathered for it is done thoroughly and publicly.

Message-ID: <20051028222837.67432.qmail@web30301.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hi Everyone! Sorry about the last moment notice, but the indictments just came out today. There will be an Indictment Party in Davis this evening! Indictment Party Location: Cantina del Cabo 139 G Street Davis Time: 6:00 ? 8:00 PM (or later. Read on!) Cost: No Cover. Buy you own food and beverage. Tom Lovering of the Cantina is always glad to see us there. He also invites us to hang around for a charity fundraiser for the UC Davis Med School. That cover is $15.00 and kicks off at 10:00 PM. Tom says it?s assured as being a blast and is a worthy cause. Of course, not much can top seeing Scooter Liddy frog marched out of the White House, thus starting the beginning of the end for the Bush 43 administration. See you there! Keep hope alive!
