Dear John:

I don't know about  you, but when I vote, I want to know that my vote is
counted.  Some in California seem to think hacking of electronic voting
machines is just fine. Grassroots champion Secretary of State Debra Bowen
doesn't think it's fine. Do you?

Secretary Bowen must decide by this Friday, August 3, whether to decertify
suspect electronic voting machines. Sign here today to support Secretary of
State Bowen in demanding the sanctity of each and every vote.

http://www.couragecampaign.org/SecureElections
<http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/m/c4FpO33xDxo/hgsavI>

 We just cannot afford to wonder whether our votes are accurately counted in
California elections.  Not here. Not in the largest state in the union. But
that's just what some county election officials say should happen. Secretary
Bowen has come up with a comprehensive review1 that makes clear that some
electronic voting machines are easily hacked ? but some county election
officials question the need for any  security review of those machines2.
Some county election officials don't seem to care that  voters lack  faith
in electronic voting systems. No wonder people say, "why bother to vote?
They won't count it anyway." Now, we  hear of Registrars that say there's
not enough time to make sure that every vote counts. This is pretty simple:
if we have time to vote, we damn well want those officials to make the time
to count our votes.

http://www.couragecampaign.org/SecureElections
<http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/m/c4FpO33xDxo/hgsavI>

Remember Ohio in 2004?  Or Florida in 2000?  If not for a hanging chad or
hackable machine, would Al Gore be president now?  Or John Kerry?
Californians face a February primary that can decide who will be the nominee
for each party.  And then a set of elections in June that will decide who
figures out our budget in Sacramento and maybe even who can and can't get
married.  And then in November we?ll decide, along with other states, who
will be President.

Demand secure elections
<http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/m/c4FpO33xDxo/hgsavI> !

Support grassroots champion Debra Bowen's plan.  Join our friends across the
state who have led on this issue.  Make every vote count.

Thanks for all you do!

together to do what's right. Will you make a contribution today?

Subject: They won't steal votes again

  
    
   <http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote>
Dear John, Last year, we put DNC staff on the ground all across the country
to rebuild our party and stand up to the lies and failures of the Republican
Party. The 50-State Strategy worked. Those organizers were key to our
unprecedented victories up and down the ballot in 2006. Our organizers are
still on the ground in all 50 states, preparing for 2008 in every way
possible. And starting this month, they are kicking off an unprecedented
voter protection effort, of a scale never attempted by any organization.
While Democrats protect everyone's right to vote, Karl Rove and the
Republican Party have a long history of threatening this right, working to
make it harder for Americans to vote. We're going to stop them. Protecting
the right of every eligible American to vote is our party's top priority
because we know that it's good for America and good for our democracy when
everyone votes. All Americans deserve to go to the polls confident that they
won't be harassed or intimidated. That they won't wait hours for a ballot
and that their vote will be counted fairly and accurately. Unfortunately,
nearly forty-two years after the signing of the voting rights act, millions
of American's are treated like criminals just for trying to vote. So we're
going to meet with every election official in the country, visit every
polling place, and make sure that every American will have their vote
counted-and we will do it now, instead of waiting to hear about big problems
on the news on Election Day 2008. We need your help. By giving $20, $50 or
$100 you can help support the organizers working in your state and the vital
work they are doing to make sure every vote counts.
http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote
<http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote> Under the Bush Administration's
politicized Justice Department we have seen an outright attack on voting
rights. In their latest scheme, the Republican Administration has
manipulated the mission of the Department of Justice, firing U.S. Attorneys
who were unwilling to pursue phony "voter fraud" cases, and politicized the
Civil Rights Division. Over the past several years the GOP has tried
everything from phone jamming schemes to vote purging to voter intimidation
tactics to try and suppress the vote. That's why this effort is so
necessary. Support our organizers on the ground and help us make sure we can
fix voting problems now, instead of on Election Day 2008.
http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote
<http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote> I've promised to build the
infrastructure and develop the strategy Democrats need to fight everywhere,
and this is exactly the kind of effort it takes. Our work may not be in the
headlines right now, but it's how we are going to make an impact next year
and in every election after that. We all know what happened in Florida in
2000. We all know what happened in Ohio in 2004. Help make sure it doesn't
happen again in 2008. http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote
<http://www.democrats.org/ProtectTheVote> Sincerely, Gov. Howard Dean, M.D.

Message-ID: <200708090347.l793liGq009038@backup.afes.com>

Greetings All,

This is a 2 week reminder for the Emily and Jerry's Ice Cream Social.  There
will be frozen yogurt at this event for those that are lactose intollerant.
Also, there will be 6 or more citronella bucket candles and insect repellant
by the patio door for those that worry about mosquitos.

The date of this event is August 23rd, 2007.

This annual event is held at the home of Jerry and Teresa Kaneko and their
cat, Emily (Of Emily's List fame).  

Event Address:  556 Reed Drive
                Davis, CA 

The cost is a suggested $10 donation at the door.  

An additional annoucement is that if any club member would like to bring an
ice cream topping or condiment, it would be greatly appreciated.  This could
be chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, butterscotch, nuts, bananas, or
whatever else you would like to put over your ice cream.  

This is a Thursday evening event, scheduled for 6PM.  The Soapbox will open
at 6:30PM.  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); All of the Davis City
Councilmembers including active Davis Democrat Club members, Sue Greenwald
(Mayor), Don Saylor; our State Assembly representative, Lois Wolk; and Yolo
County Supervisor, Mariko Yamada and School Board Members, Jim Provenza and
Sheila Allen.  Also expected to attend and speak are another Davis School
Board member and candidates for School Board.  I also hope that City Council
Member Stephen Souza and his wife, Robin, will be there, along with Lamar
Heystek.

Take care,

Richard

Message-ID: <200708090413.l794D5Gq009619@backup.afes.com>

Greetings All,

The Yolo County Fair is only 1 week away.  The Yolo County Democratic
Central Committee sponsors each year a booth for the party at the Yolo
County Fair.  This year is no different.  

The YCDCC assigned Friday as Davis Democratic Club Day, where our club
members volunteer to man the booth.  If you wish to volunteer, call Andrew
Ramos, YCDCC President, at 707-330-0697 or e-mail him at
ajramos at pacbell.net.  You can also find his contact information at the
YoloDems web site at yolodems.org and/or yolodems.com  

We need people between 10AM and 11PM.  I know that we have already had
cancellations within the last 24 hours, so do not be bashful, ask and you
might be surprised that a time period is empty.

Thank you for your attention,

Richard

Dear John  ,

When voters go to cast their ballots in 2008, Common Cause wants to make
sure that their votes count for a new president who will address one of the
most important issues facing our country: global warming.

I've just signed the League of Conservation Voters'  HeatIsOn.org

solving global warming -- will you join me?

Global warming is the biggest threat to our environment, our health, our
economy. That's why this is our biggest campaign ever. We can't afford to do
anything less. And we want you to be a big part of it.

That is why we have committed to do the following:
* Place organizers in early voting states - Iowa, New Hampshire, South
Carolina and Nevada - to work on the ground with our state league partners
* Meet with reporters who cover the candidates, and challenge the media to
cover this issue as part of the presidential campaign
* Track what each of the candidates is saying about global warming
* Use the 2008 presidential primaries to generate a vigorous national debate
on global warming

The stakes have never been higher. Which is why we are launching a massive
campaign like you've never seen before. With your support - and our shared
commitment to protecting our planet - we truly can succeed.

global warming and usher in a new era of clean energy.
 
Thank you so much for your support.

  <http://www.democraticmajority.com/page/m/pfqjSEzpMgn/74VXzl> Dear john,

I don't trust Alberto Gonzales with the power to spy on the American people
? and neither should you.

In recent months, Gonzales has been under increasingly heavy fire for his
shameful role in a number of shocking scandals, including the Bush
Administration's illegal eavesdropping program and his refusal to come clean
about what he has done. He's lost the confidence of the American people, and
many -- myself included -- have called for his resignation.

But rather than holding Gonzalez and other members of the Administration
accountable for breaking the law, the White House pushed for legislation
that legalizes their actions. Two weeks ago, the Bush Administration and
their rubber-stamp Republican allies in Congress forced revisions of the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to expand the government's right to
spy on American citizens without outside oversight.

Once again, George Bush, Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez are taking the
Bill of Rights into their own hands. Tell the White House to stop scaring
the American people into surrendering their basic rights:

http://www.democraticmajority.com/wiretaps
<http://www.democraticmajority.com/page/m/pfqjSEzpMgn/74VXzl>

There's no doubt FISA had serious gaps that Congress needed to close. But as
the New York Times stated, the new FISA law goes "far beyond the small fixes
that administration officials had said were needed to gather information
about foreign terrorists."

Under the new law, any conversation between an American citizen and a
foreigner can be monitored without a warrant.

Any conversation at all!

But even worse, there's no accountability for this massive new surveillance
program.  The Bush Administration will set the rules about who gets spied
on, and will also have the responsibility for determining whether they're
complying with their own rules.

It's like taking a test, and then getting to grade it yourself.

Each of us wants to do everything in our power to protect America from the
threat of terrorism. But the Bush Administration refuses to draw any line
between fighting terrorism and violating basic civil liberties.

Together, we can draw the line. Sign the petition, letting Washington know
that you don't want Alberto Gonzales spying on honest, hard-working
Americans like you:

http://www.democraticmajority.com/wiretaps
<http://www.democraticmajority.com/page/m/pfqjSEzpMgn/74VXzl>

This is the same Administration mentality that gave us Guantanamo and Abu
Ghraib. Again and again, Alberto Gonzalez, Dick Cheney, and George Bush have
thumbed their noses at the Constitution and the rule of law, and then
demanded that Congress condone their abuses and trust their judgment.

Not this time. We owe the nation a better approach, and you can help us do
it.

Sincerely,






Senator Edward M. Kennedy

	08/23/2007
Message-ID: <200708180751.l7I7pe8A038896@backup.afes.com>

Greetings All,

There is a surprise.  We will be celebrating Betty Weir's 92nd Birthday at
this event.  Betty Weir is the Grand Dame of the Davis Democratic Club and
the Yolo County Democrats.  Our Assembly Person, Lois Wolk will be honoring
Betty for us all at this event.  Please attend!

This is a less than 1 week reminder for the Emily and Jerry's Ice Cream
Social.  There will be frozen yogurt at this event for those that are
lactose intollerant.  Also, there will be 6 or more citronella bucket
candles and insect repellant by the patio door for those that worry about
mosquitos.

The date of this event is August 23rd, 2007.

This annual event is held at the home of Jerry and Teresa Kaneko and their
cat, Emily (Of Emily's List fame).  

Event Address:  556 Reed Drive
                Davis, CA 

The cost is a suggested $10 donation at the door.  

An additional annoucement is that if any club member would like to bring an
ice cream topping or condiment, it would be greatly appreciated.  This could
be chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, butterscotch, nuts, bananas, or
whatever else you would like to put over your ice cream.  

This is a Thursday evening event, scheduled for 6PM.  The Soapbox will open
at 6:30PM.  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); All of the Davis City
Councilmembers including active Davis Democrat Club members, Sue Greenwald
(Mayor), Lamar Heystek, Don Saylor; our State Assembly representative, Lois
Wolk; and Yolo County Supervisor, Mariko Yamada and School Board Members,
Jim Provenza and Sheila Allen.  Also expected to attend and speak are
another Davis School Board member and candidates for School Board.  I also
hope that City Council Member Stephen Souza and his wife, Robin, will be there.

-------------------------------

Another annoucement is the IOOF Lodge 169, which has many of our Democratic
Club members in it, have chartered a bus to the 40th Summer of Love in
Golden Gate park on September 2, 2007.  If you would like to go to this
event, the cost is $30/person.  Please contact Bob Bockwinkel for details at
219-1896.  You can leave your check or money at Lyon Real Estate -- "Will
Call."  You receive a tie-dyed t-shirt to remember your trip to this event.
The bus leaves at 7AM on that Saturday Morning and returns to Davis at 9PM
that night.  Bob is also trying to make available balloon animals for
everyone from Dilly Dally The Clown ($1 donation to Dilly Dally is
requested).  Lastly, people are encouraged to bring ice chests, food and
other items needed for a full day at the park in San Francisco, including
blankets and low folding chairs.  Call Bob for details that are too lenghthy
to write here.

Take care,

Richard

  We usually have about 50  or so guests.  At $10.00 a piece, it would be a shame if we  do not  have enough  for everyone. 
   
  If you wish to bring something else not listed , do so. It will be much appreciated!
   
  Thanks to all of you.
   
  ps:  MaryLou said she may join us.  That would be SO great!

Dear John,

For the past two years, we've worked hard to create change in the 4th
district and across the country.  And from the grassroots to the netroots,
and all points inbetween, our growing momentum is undeniable.  But make no
mistake about it, our mission is far from complete.

As you know, Jan and I promised to be in this battle for the long haul, and
we keep our promises.  So on September 7th, I'm making my intentions for
2008 "official,"  and taking the next step towards a brighter future for all
of us.

Grassroots Democracy is about everyone being involved, so this year's "Take
Off" event will be an p;old fashioned political barnstorming tour throughout
the Fourth District.  If you can, please show your support and join us at
any one of our four campaign announcement celebrations in El Dorado, Placer,
Nevada, and Plumas Counties.
