Campaign '08 Message-ID: <7F14A436525D8841A0ED8BEC159EC1E7039F91EA@mse4be2.mse4.exchange.ms> Campaign Kickoff Thursday, June 5 7 p.m. Odd Fellows Hall 415 Second Street, Davis The Yolo County Democratic Central Committee is in the process of putting together a powerful organization for the November 4 Presidential campaign. We're not messing around this year. If you are interested in taking an active role in a highly organized, successful push for the Democratic candidates up and down the slate, please come join us. There are many volunteer jobs available, from voter registration collectors to neighborhood leaders and fund raisers to leadership positions. We need you! We'll use your energy well. We are highly organized and deadly serious this year. There is too much at stake. Together, we can create a grass roots tidal wave in Yolo County. Yes, Yolo County trends blue anyway. But with a tidal wave here, we can counter red-red Orange County, Placer County, and other backward parts of our state. We can have a huge impact.

Schwarzenegger released his revised budget this week. The bad news is that our budget crisis has worsened. But even worse are the Republicans' proposed solutions. They still want to cut $4.3 billion from K-12 education. They still want to cut $1.1 from university funding. They still want to cut $2.6 billion from health and human services programs. And if that isn't bad enough, they've come up with some new cuts. Now they want to take Supplemental Security Income benefits from our seniors and disabled. That's right. They call it ?Intercepting federal SSI funds sent from Washington intended for the benefit of aged and disabled Californians.? We call it stealing from the poor. For too long Republicans have refused to raise taxes on their corporate cronies. Now they want to steal money from California's seniors and disabled to fund sales tax loopholes for yacht owners and to keep big oil companies from having to pay their fair share of taxes. This summer, we need to tell California Republicans that enough is enough. We need to change the script and stop balancing our budgets on the backs of our weakest citizens. We need to tell the Republicans that we are better than that. That's where you can help. You still have time to enter the Summer of Change video contest. Shoot a 30-second video with your message about what's at stake in this year's budget fight. Submit it by May 18, 2008, and your video could be aired on television. Tell us about what's important to you. Tell us why you think that providing a decent education for our kids is more important than giving tax breaks to oil companies. Tell us why you think it's wrong to steal Supplemental Security Income benefits from California's seniors and disabled to fund a yacht tax loophole. This summer, we plan to change business as usual. Be a part of that change. Sincerely, Sen. Art Torres (Ret.) Chairman For full details, go to our website at www.SummerOfChange08.com. Then get busy working on your video entry.

Working through your local organizations, you and your friends have the opportunity to be part of this exciting, important election; your participation is needed and greatly welcomed. One unusual aspect of this coordinated effort is the key word, "organizing." Will Rogers famously quipped, "I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat." You will be pleased to know that all Yolo Democrats intend to be highly organized well before November, which is the reason that we ask you to consider the opportunities and volunteer now. There are many things to be done and certainly much for you to contribute. Naturally, individual assi gnments will be tailored to your skills, inclinations and time constraints. Some possibilities include voter registration, canvassing by phone or in person, office work, mass mailings, data management and analysis. To learn more about these options join us (and bring your friends) for exciting fun: The campaign kickoff will be held June 5, Thursday evening, (7:00 to 9:00pm) at the Oddfellows Hall (415 2nd St., Davis). We look forward to seeing you there!

The Davis Democratic Club is not meeting at any place in particular and we are asking members to attend their favorite candidates parties, representing themselves and the club at these events. The Davis Democratic Club Board has instructed me to do this task of compiling and sending out an e-mail about election night festivities. I have received private invitations to some of these events, which want people to RSVP, so that they know how many people to expect. In view of this, I am not going to publish any information for election night parties at any given location, unless I hear from the respective campaigns or hosts of parties. If your campaign is having an open election night party or event for supporters that are Davis Democratic Club members, please send the information as to where the party is and when the party is and who to contact if they have problems reaching the party location or if people need to RSVP. I hope to have a preliminary list published on Monday to this listserve.
