  Dear john,

This is sure a heartbreaking time for the human race, and keeping up with
all the horrible news is weighing on all our hearts.

What is keeping me going is the hope and the expectation that in November,
voters in America will send a strong message that we need to move in a new
direction; that 'stay the course' is not an option either in foreign policy
or domestic policy.

And that hope is coming from YOU -- my supporters -- who keep responding to
PAC for a Change in such a generous and enthusiastic way.  Whether it's
signing petitions, emailing legislators, or contributing to our PAC and our
candidates, you are a key part of this movement for change.

When I founded "PAC for a Change" some years ago, little did I know how
badly we would need change in every corner of our government.

Well, it's 99 days until the mid-term elections and we must stay focused,
stay strategic and -- even when it's frustrating -- keep our eyes on the
prize. And that prize is taking back the Congress.

We CANNOT afford to let this imperial presidency continue. The Bush
Administration wants to rule, not govern; they see Congress -- and therefore
the American people -- as an annoyance.

That's why there is NO accountability. They just do what they want. Even
when the President signs bills, he usually adds the caveat, in writing, that
he may not follow the law he just signed!

Our privacy rights are at stake; the very lives of our men and women in
uniform are at stake; our environment is at stake; our fiscal future is at
stake; the American dream is at stake.

I know I don't have to tell you all this because you know it all too well,
but I feel it's important to keep these high stakes before us!

So to our task at hand.

Congratulations to Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Democratic Senate candidate in
Missouri, who won our online vote as to whom our PAC for a Change community
would support next.

Claire needs us, and in the coming days I will email you more about her race
-- which is pivotal, to put it mildly.

Just to give you one more example of the hypocrisy we face every day: Last
week, I managed opposition to a bill called the "Child Custody Protection
Act." 

In essence it says if a minor goes to her grandmother, or her clergy person,
or a loving, caring adult -- because she is afraid to tell her parents of a
pregnancy and get their consent -- that caring adult can be sued and put in
jail if he or she takes the young woman across a state line.  Reseach shows
that most women go to their parents already, and those who don't usually
come from violent homes.

No exceptions were in the bill until I fought and fought all day last
Tuesday to force the Republicans to take away all the rights of a father who
raped his daughter. Can you believe it? Their bill would have allowed the
rapist father to sue the grandmother in such a case, yet it would have
allowed him to take the daughter across state lines.

They first tried to stop me from offering my amendment. Senator Feinstein
had an amendment to exempt grandparents and clergy but because the Senator
was ill and not present, they would not allow anyone else to offer the
amendment.

I tell you all this because here we have a crowd running every branch of the
government who tells the American people THEY have the values that ought to
be rewarded at the polls, and yet they would put a grandmother in jail and
allow a father guilty of incest to retain all his rights.

Honestly!!! I need you now more than ever.

So stay with us. Help us. And I'll be back in touch soon.

bring your item to the meeting -- but we may not be able to get to it at
this meeting, due to lack of time.  We must vacate the room by 9PM and this
includes putting away of tables and chairs.  If you have an agenda item,
something must be removed from this agenda, which will be an executive
decision between Arun Sen, Tony Gruska and John Chendo. This is the
preliminary agenda and it may change before the meeting only with approval
by Arun Sen, John Chendo and Tony Gruska.  I will send a final agenda notice

Dear Friend, 

In an election year stunt, Republicans have poisoned a bill that would increase the minimum wage with a massive tax cut for just 7,500 millionaires. After the House passed the bill, the Senate must now decide tonight. Contact your senators and tell them to reject this shameful bill by signing this petition:

Subject: Summer Update: No Vacation for Media Reformers

 <http://www.freepress.net/>
 
   Today, Congress begins its August recess while legislative debates
continue to heat up that will shape our media for generations. Here's an
update on where things stand. Over the past three months, our
SavetheInternet.com campaign has elevated the crucial issue of Net
Neutrality from obscurity and thrown a wrench in the phone and cable giants'
plan to overhaul our telecommunications laws behind closed doors. While on
its face Net Neutrality - along with most policy issues - are wonky, at the
end of the day they are about getting critical, independent journalism into
living rooms in every state - red and blue. It's about limiting the undue
influence and control of the largest media conglomerates, and creating
vibrant and fearless noncommercial media that provide a real alternative to
commercial media. The unprecedented http://www.SavetheInternet.com
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/l1MaYHE1BPFe/> campaign has brought together
more than 750 groups from across the political spectrum. More than a million
of you signed petitions and flooded Congress with calls and letters. Tens of
thousands of bloggers and MySpace users have linked to SavetheInternet.com -
many of them posting free ads to counteract the multi-million-dollar
misinformation campaign launched by astroturf (fake grassroots) groups like
Hands Off the Internet. Creative people have submitted their own videos and
songs about Net Neutrality -- and no corporation paid them to do it.
(http://www.savetheinternet.com/=videos
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/0pMaYHE1BPFf/> ) A bad telecom bill passed
the House in June. But the Senate is split over Net Neutrality - as seen in
the 11-11 tie vote in the Senate committee that oversees the Internet. The
phone and cable lobbyists don't yet have the votes to move their bill
forward - and chatter in Washington says it may not be voted on until after
the November elections. If we can keep the pressure up, it is believed that
Net Neutrality could derail the entire bill and force Congress to start from
scratch from next year. As always, we'll be tracking this and asking for
your help. On our other fronts... Media Ownership You couldn't paint a
clearer picture of how media policy gets made in Washington than this photo
from Details magazine of FCC Chairman Kevin Martin literally in bed with
industry lobbyists.
 Chairman Martin: Why not get in bed with the public?

Such slumber parties might explain why Martin recently launched his latest
attempt to remove the last remaining media ownership limits. Acting under
pressure from powerful media corporations, Martin seems determined to let
one company swallow up three TV channels, eight radio stations and the daily
newspaper all in the same town.

Martin's indifferent to the impact such changes would have on localism and
diversity - not to mention the fact that 95 percent of public comments
received by the FCC oppose weakening the rules.

The current timeline puts any actual vote at the FCC after the November
election. Before then, Martin has pledged to hold "a half dozen" public
hearings - but he hasn't yet scheduled a single one.

However, Free Press and our allies continue to organize a series of Town
Meetings on the Future of Media. And along with staunch opponents of media
consolidation such as FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan
Adelstein, we're gearing up for a fight this fall that will require all
hands on deck. Check out http://www.StopBigMedia.com
<http://action.freepress.net/ct/ldMaYHE1BPFd/> for the latest updates.

Public Broadcasting and Noncommercial Media

You probably remember Ken Tomlinson's crusade to counter "liberal advocacy
journalism" at PBS and NPR. Public pressure forced him to resign as chairman
of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) amid charges that he
misused power and injected his personal politics into the agency. But the
partisan attack on public broadcasting continues.

Last month, President Bush nominated Warren Bell to the CPB board. He's a
television sitcom producer who has described himself as "thoroughly
conservative in ways that strike horror into the hearts of my Hollywood
colleagues." Brazen partisanship - on either side of the aisle - has no
place in the governance of public broadcasting. In fact, the CPB was
established specifically to provide a firewall from political interference.
We will challenge the confirmation of any brazen partisans nominated to the
board. 

Meanwhile, the House recently voted for a 23 percent cut in funding for the
CPB. The Senate approved full funding, but the two bills will be reconciled
in December behind closed doors. We will need to raise the volume and ensure
that public broadcasting is protected. At the same time, we are working
toward long-term reform that gets public broadcasting away from running the
annual funding gauntlet.

The Big Picture 

That's where things are in a nutshell. Together we have managed to stop
nearly every major threat from Big Media during the last three years.
Together, we can not only stop the next attack, but advance a vision: more
investigative, critical journalism; smarter entertainment, less
commercialism - a media system that supports and nourishes democracy, rather
than one that undermines it.

Thanks so much for being part of Free Press and the movement for media
reform. 

All the best,

Josh Silver

Subject: Ready to "Clean House" in Sacramento?



 <https://contribute.angelides.com/01/angelides_contribute>


 Dear john, 

Some quotes from Governor Schwarzenegger are more memorable than others.
Perhaps "hasta la vista, baby" and "I'll be back" come to mind, but how
about this one: 
> "I will go to Sacramento and I will clean house. I don't have to take money
> from anybody. I have plenty of money."
Despite all his self-proclaimed wealth, Governor Schwarzenegger has taken a
whopping $94 million in special interest money. That's a lot of cash, wonder
where it's coming from? I'll tell you ? over $7 million alone came from oil
executives, insurance companies, and Wal-Mart. Our grassroots - not special
interests - is our power. Now we need our grassroots ? over 70,000 activists
and 22,000 donors - to help the Democrats "clean house" and send Governor
Schwarzenegger home. That's why I'm launching our Take Back CA in 2006
Monthly Giving Team. By committing to give just $20.06 each month, YOU can
help us run the best campaign and win the fight every step of the way. Click
here to join the Take Back CA in 2006 Team and commit to give $20.06 each
month until the election!
<https://contribute.angelides.com/01/takebackcateam/nhdALNBd1czEc?> The
Governor and his staff, plucked straight from the Bush/Cheney White House,
are claiming that I am going to take our state backwards. They've already
spent $16 million on ads to try to convince you of that. Frankly, what I
think is "backwards" is a leader who goes back on his word. In 2003,
Governor Schwarzenegger promised to "clean house," but he's so beholden to
his special interest donors that he hasn't endorsed Proposition 89, the
Clean Money Initiative on the November ballot.
 
I am endorsing Proposition 89 because I believe that government should
answer to the voices of Californians, not corporate special interests. So
don't wait - join me today as we take on this fight! Click here to join the
Take Back CA in 2006 Team. Make a monthly contribution of just $20.06 and
help take back California!
<https://contribute.angelides.com/01/takebackcateam/nhdALNBd1czEc?> This
election isn't about big bucks; it's about change. 22,000 people have
generously invested in our campaign because they believe we can put
California back on track. I know we will win this fight November, but I need
your help today. Please don't wait ? join us today. Sincerely, Phil
Angelides

Subject:  Let's Help Charlie Brown!

 
 
 

The ugliness has begun.  John Doolittle sent out a fundraising letter
attacking Charlie.  He smears him as "the most liberal opponent"
Doolittle has ever faced, and says Charlie is pushing an agenda of
"higher taxes, amnesty for illegal immigrants and gay marriage."  This
is disgusting -- pandering to the lowest common denominator of
Doolittle's conservative base.

It's not surprising, given the front page article this weekend in the
Sacramento Bee describing how Doolittle helped convicted lobbyist Jack
Abramoff win a contract with the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana
Islands in exchange for a $14,000 contribution directly from Abramoff
-- the same Mariana Islands that support sweatshops, forced abortions,
and forced prostitution.  Article here:
http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story /14288629p-15112022c.html
<http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story/14288629p-15112022c.html>

This was followed by Bob Ney withdrawing from his re-election campaign.

Doolittle's back is up against a wall.  But he wants to use his
$14,000 contributions from convicted lobbyists and others to smear
Charlie on the air.

Please donate to Charlie's campaign and help us get up on the air and
get the truth out to the people of this district.  Tell John Doolittle
he can't lie his way into another term in Congress.

Subject: [Davis Democrats] August 8th Board Meeting Minutes

                Tuesday, August 8, 7 pm - 9 pm
     Place: Blanchard Room of the Davis Branch of the Yolo County Library.  
                    315 East 14th Street.

This meeting was held at the Blanchard Room in the Yolo County Library.

Vice President: John Chendo
Treasurer: Betty Weir	
Recording Secretary: G Richard Yamagata
Corresponding Secretary: Julia Sanchez
Acting Past President: Absent
Newsletter Editor: Absent

Ceceilia Escamelia-Greenwald, Carolyn Copper.

Vice President John Chendo called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM. 

AGENDA:  There was no agenda for this meeting.  A rough agenda was passed
out by John Chendo, but was not voted upon because of lack of time.

MINUTES OF PAST MEETINGS: 
The minutes from the last two general meetings and the June board meeting
were not presented for approval because of lack of time.

OTHER MINUTES
There were no other minutes or reports from other Demcoratic clubs or
organizations due to lack of time.  

TREASUERER'S REPORT
It was announced by Betty Weir that we have $18,097.70 in the club's
treasury.  We have spent $270 on pins and bumper stickers for the Yolo
County Fair Booth.  The Yolo County Central Committee put in $220 to fund
pins and bumper stickers for the booth.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL
G Richard Yamagata reported that he was in contact with Jerry and Teresa
Kaneko and would be reporting to him after the meeting.  He said that Jerry
wanted an earlier start for the Soap Box at 6:30PM and that ice cream would
be served, starting at 6PM.  The board compromised by agreeing to start the
Soap Box at 6:45PM, but would announce to the public that it would start at
6:30PM.  Teresa reported to Richard that she had enough napkins and spoons,
but not enough bowls and no cups.  They also need another 25 chairs.  We
expect at the very least, 70 people, but in election years, we have 100 show
up.  We will be charging $10/person at this event (passed at the June
meeting by the board).  [Later, I found out that last year, we went through
8 gallons of ice cream for this event.]

Arun Sen said that he would take care of picking a timekeeper for this event.  

Mary Lou Hernandez asked to contiue to act as coordinator for this event.
Barbara Slemmons and G Richard Yamagata volunteered to help Mary Lou in this
job.  

The concern about the mosquitos is the reason for the earlier time for this
event.  But, G Richard Yamagata is bringing 6 citronella candle buckets to
burn to ward off mosquitos at this event.

The electeds will be introduced and allowed to speak first.

There was a sign-up sheet passed around.  The following is a summary of what
the recording secretary can remember:
Betty Weir will bring more bowls and needed cups.
Betty Weir will also bring scoops along with Cecilia -- 5 are needed.
Cecilia Escamelia-Greenwald will bring 5 dozen cookies
Mike Syvanen will bring an ice chest with drinks
Gregg Gibbs will bring toppings
Kingsley Melton will bring ice cream cones
All other people signed up to bring ice cream.  It is hoped that board
members not in attendence of this meeting and not otherwise assigned a food
task for this event, will bring ice cream (We are currently shor 2.5 gallons
over last year).  

It was agreed by all present that everyone will pay the $10 donation,
including those bringing items to this event. 

PHIL WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER
Bob Schelen next presented his message for all Democrats to hang in there
and pull for Phil.  "Phil will win in November!"  Bob Schelen outlined
Phil's strategy, his path to victory in November.  Bob just wanted to come
give a message of hope to those that are discouraged by the polls that Phil
Angelides is trailing and that things are not all that bad.

YOLO COUNTY FAIR
G Richard Yamagata told the board what he knew about the set-up and take
down of the booth at the fair.  He also stated what he knew about sign-ups
at the booth.  The coordinator for the booth is Katie Villegas and people
need to contact her to sign-up to man the booth.  Sunday is assigned to the
Woodland club, because they will be working with Don Winters to take down
the booth at the end of the fair.  

It was said by others that the purpose of the booth is distribute campaign
materials for state and local Democratic candidates and for voter
registration.  Betty added that we are going to have a double booth this
year.  There is a large committee of people that are setting up the booth.
There was no description of the take down as to who was doing this other
than "Don Winters and the Woodland Democrat Club."

YOLO COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE
For those that are concerned what is happening at the Yolo County Democrat
Central Committee, this month's meeting is in Davis at Round Table Pizza on
the 4th Monday of this month, August 28.

ANNUAL BEAN FEED
Kingsley Melton spoke on this event.  The Bean Feed is on September 30 this
year.  This is earlier than usual.  Kingsley is being hired by the Yolo
County Central Committee to coordinate the county headquarters and all of
the campaigns in Yolo County.  

The headquarters is in Woodland on College close to Main St next to Paco's.
The Woodland Democrat Club is supporting half the cost of the headquarters.
The reason for the choice of Woodland is to help support Frank Seiferman in
his race for County Supervisor.  The Republicans are reputed to be putting a
lot of money into electing his opponent to this county seat.  Frank's vote
is important on various issues, most notably is the Conaway Ranch issue.  

Kingsley asked for a donation from the club for The Bean Feed of $100.
Kingsley also asked for checks earlier than usual from the Dems that give to
this event.  

MOTION
Jim Provenza made the motion that the club give $100 to The Bean Feed.  John
Chendo seconded this motion.

DISCUSSION
In discussion of this motion, it was discussed, why did not the Davis
Democrat Club step up and become a SPONSOR of this event at the $250 level.
This of course means that all major promotion of this event will be done
with the Davis Democrat Club listed as a sponsor and that the programs will
all be printed up with Davis Democrat Club as the sponsor.

MOTION/VOTE
Jim Provenza made the substitute motion that the club give $250 to the Bean
Feed to become a sponsor of this event.  This motion was seconded by John
Chendo.  The question was called and the motion carried with 6 votes in
favor and 2 votes opposed.  There were 3 abstaining in voting, including
Immediate Vice President Kingsley Melton.  

NEWSLETTER
Our newsletter editor, Tanya Chalupa is starting a new job and has asked for
more help in newsletter production.  Everyone agreed that Tanya has done an
exceptional job at putting out a monthly newsletter and they all want it to
continue.  Carl Schmid volunteered to help Tanya where he can.  Barbara
Slemmons also volunteered.  

It was decided that in terms of news items, G Richard Yamagata is to send
the minutes of the board meetings and the general meetings by the 15th of
each month, so they can be reported in the newsletter.  Richard stated that
he is already sending photos to Tanya for possible use in the newsletter
each month.

NEW BUSINESS
DAVIS CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS
Betty Weir asked that we discuss the subject of the campaign headquarters in
Davis on this agenda.  John Chendo discussed an office area behind Cafe Roma
that was mentioned by Bob Bockwinkel.  It was discussed to have John Chendo
and Arun Sen with Bob Bockwinkel look into a headquarters location.  

Kingsley Melton volunteered to help in putting together the headquarters.
He can help with ordering the phones and electricity.  Betty and Mary Lou
would staff the headquarters, but he stated that he can give additional
support to the headquarters in the mornings.  

Rick Vulliet suggested that board put together a committee to follow up on
finding a location for the headquarters.  There was a discussion and the
people on this committee would be Betty Weir, Kingsley Melton, Julia Sanchez
and Bob Bockwinkel.  This committee will make a report at the Board Meeting
next month as to what happened about the headquarters.  

NEXT MONTH'S MEETING
Next month's board meeting will be at 7 PM on September 12.  This is the
second Tuesday of the month.  The meeting will be held in the Blanchard Room
of the Davis Branch of the Yolo County Library.  

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dan Berman spoke about the Yolo For SMUD campaign.  To contact him about the
campaign, Dan's phone number is 757-6609.  There was no motion presented for
the club to support this position.

Jim Provenza announced his "Back to School Blues" fundraising event on
September 10th.  

ADJOURNMENT
Arun Sen adjourned the meeting.  The meeting ended at 8:45PM.

Respectfully submitted,
Recording Secretary

   ?   
 ?  Charlie's Challenge #4
 Is Doolittle Corrupt or Ineffective? August 2006

  ?  
 ?    Dear John,   
The battle rages on.

 Two weeks ago, I asked John Doolittle to commit to a schedule of debates on
the many important issues facing our district and our country.

 In the wake of appalling revelations about his support for a Jack Abramoff
client that tolerates sweatshops, forced abortions, and sex slavery, John
Doolittle has yet to respond.  Instead, he?s launched a pathetic ?Rovian?
style campaign of division and misinformation designed to distract voters
from nearly two decades of corrupt and ineffective leadership.  I will not
allow John Doolittle?s smear tactics and half-truths to go unanswered.  I
need your help to fight back.

3A%2F%2Fwww.charliebrownforcongress.org%2FSPM%2Fdonate.html>  to Fight Back!
  
That?s why this morning, I launched the first two radio commercials of the
general election season, which will be running across the 4th CD over the
next week.  And, to keep these spots running in the weeks to come, I am
issuing my latest Charlie?s Challenge?asking you to help me raise $30,000 by
August 25th.

3A%2F%2Fwww.charliebrownforcongress.org%2FSPM%2Fdonate.html>  to rise to the
Challenge! 
  
The first spot, entitled ?Honor,? is narrated by former Senator Max Cleland
and highlights my lifelong record of service to America and the high
standards of leadership and integrity that I will bring with me to
Washington.  You can listen to the ad now at
href="http://www.charliebrownforcongress.org">www.
charliebrownforcongress.org.

The second highlights John Doolittle?s deep ties to both Congressional
bribery scandals, and the ?Do- Little? record he has amassed on issues like
national security, soaring gas prices, budget deficits, and moral
leadership---posing the question that seems to be on everyone?s lips, ?Is
John Doolittle Corrupt, or is he Ineffective??  I want you to decide.  Visit
www.corruptorineffective.com

ads running!
  

John Doolittle is running scared and will do just about anything?especially
now that his corrupted House cronies Bob Ney, Tom DeLay and "Duke"
Cunningham have left him to fend for himself.  He?s spending hundreds of
thousands in taxpayer dollars in ?franked? campaign mailers, complete with
distortions and half-truths.  Answering this week?s challenge means helping
the real truth reach thousands of 4th CD voters.

  For example, a gift of $500-$1000 buys a :60 AM Drive Time slot on our
most popular local radio stations, and a gift of $250-$500 buys a PM Drive
Time slot.

Now.
  

Friends, the momentum is solidly on our side, and together, we are charting
a prosperous and more secure course for America---free from waste,
corruption, and the incompetent public policy it breeds.

I am honored by your continued support, and your thoughtful consideration of
this week?s important request.

Very Sincerely,

Charlie

 Is Doolittle Corrupt or Ineffective? August 2006

  ?  
 ?    Dear John,   
Thanks to you, our radio ads are running across the 4th CD, and John
Doolittle is running for his political life.

With one day left in our latest Charlie?s Challenge, we?re just $3,000 shy
of our $30,000 goal.  The response to date has been incredible, but I need
your help today so we can keep our message on the air, and the truth about
John Doolittle?s corrupt and ineffective

haven?t given yet, I?m asking that you please consider rising to the
challenge today.

Challenge!

Remember, every dollar makes a huge difference.  For example, a gift of
$500-$1000 buys a :60 AM Drive Time slot on our most popular local radio
stations, and a gift of $250-$500 buys a PM Drive Time slot.

And speaking of Doolittle?s record, just 2 days ago, I posted my latest blog
on dailykos 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=cna59xbab.0.rse49xbab.ubgj4pbab.18&ts=S0201&p=http%
3A%2F%2Fwww.dailykos.com%2Fstoryonly%2F2006%2F8%2F23%2F135031%2F456> .  It?s
a story that many of you have heard, and one that many more have asked me
about---namely, John Doolittle?s trip to Iraq this past February.  An
obvious effort to try and hide from the growing media buzz surrounding his
ties to both Congressional bribery scandals, Doolittle touted the junket as
an opportunity for him to show ?support for the troops.?  Nevermind that he
had already allowed them to be sent to war without sound intelligence,
proper equipment, adequate manpower, or a plan for winning the peace.

When Doolittle hopped on a C-130 for an hour long flight from Baghdad to
Tal-Afar, he sat next to a young co-pilot, who unbeknownst to him, was also
one of his constituents.  That?s because he didn?t ask the young man his
name or where he was from.  He didn?t ask if Congress could do anything to
aid in his mission.  He said nothing.  When the flight ended, he learned
that the young co-pilot was my son.     Click Here

With the summer Congressional recess almost over, Doolittle still hasn?t
responded to my request for a schedule of debates.  Clearly, he would rather
smear me than debate his corrupt and ineffective record, or the important
issues

I normally do not pass on things like this, but I received an e-mail from a

"failure" -- the result should please anyone that is a Democrat or to the
left politically.  Below are the instructions that were sent to me.

Subject: Purchase "War is Not a Game" CD online

The song, ?War is Not a Game,? can now be purchased in CD form online
via the Durston for Congress website at www.durstonforcongress.org.
(Click on the ?Listen to ?War is Not a Game? link on the home page.)
The song was written by Bill last year, with help from his daughter
Annie. ?War is Not a Game? is dedicated to his son Jeff. The song is
arranged and performed by Paul Kamm and Eleanore MacDonald, two
talented area folk musicians who are good friends of Bill?s. Susan
Hosseinion designed the CD jacket, which includes the song lyrics and
a statement by Bill.

?War is Not a Game? is featured in the Fall issue of ?Sing Out
Magazine,? a well-known folk music publication. The song was also
recently featured in the Sacramento Bee in an article with the
sub-heading, ?Balladeer Bill.? The article by Kevin Yamamura noted
that the song can be downloaded for free from the Durston for
Congress website. Yamamura concluded the article by musing, ?No word
on whether Lungren, a war hawk, has downloaded a copy for his iPod.?
Now Lungren can obtain a hard copy to slip into his CD player as he
is chauffeured between fundraisers.

The song is being distributed through ?CD Baby.? The suggested price
for the CD is $9.97. All profits from the sale of ?War is Not a Game?
will go to the Durston for Congress Campaign.

Please forward this email to all your contacts. ?War is Not a Game?
contains a message that is central to the reason why Bill is running
for Congress, and a message that the American public, and
particularly anyone considering joining the military, needs to hear.

Greetings All,

This is to remind everyone about the Emily and Jerry's Ice Cream Social --
Today, Thursday, August 31. 

This annual event is held at the home of Jerry and Teresa Kaneko and their
cat, Emily (Emily's List).  
Event Date:  Thursday, August 31.
Event Time:  6 PM ice cream;  6:30 Soap Box
Event Address:  556 Reed Drive
                Davis, CA 

The cost is suggested $10 donation at the door.  

This is a Thursday evening event, scheduled for 6PM.  The Soapbox will open
at 6:30-6:45PM.  Come for ice cream at an event perfectly timed for after
dinner dessert.  Come hear all the Yolo County electeds and political
pundits speak at the club's annual soapbox event.  All club members are
invited and can address the group from the Soapbox.  Voice your political
statements to all assembled.  Expected guests that will speak include:
Former Davis City Councilman Jerry Kaneko (MC of the soapbox); The Entire
Davis City Council, Mayor Sue Greenwald, Don Saylor, our friend to the DDC
Board Stephen Souza, Mayor Pro-Tem Ruth Asmundsen and Lamar Heystek; Yolo
County Supervisor, Mariko Yamada and Yolo County Supervisor Frank Seiferman
Jr and Ellie Fairclough representing Congressman Mike Thompson.  Also
expected to attend and speak are a number of the Davis School Boardmembers,
including Jim Provenza.  Other speakers that are expected are a
representative from Lois Wolk's Office to let us all know about Lois' Luau;
Johannes Troost and Kathleen Stack; Mike Levy; representatves from Bill
Durston candidate for the 3rd congressional district; Bob Schelen; a
representative from 4th Congressional District candidate Charlie Brown; 
and others.  All club members will be allowed as time permits to mount the
soapbox and speak for 2 minutes as long as we have daylight.  We usually
quit the Soapbox at a little after 8 PM.

If you are an elected and have not been mentioned in this e-mail, please
contact me and let me know you are coming.  Jerry Kaneko can only announce
you if he knows you are at this event.

Again, as long as light permits, all club members are invited to step up to
the soap box and speak.  There will be a 2 minute limitation on speakers, so
get your speach prepared and come speak out!

Take care,

Richard
